Via Facebook presäntierte Bohemia ein Bild der Insel "Limnos". Grafisch werden die Interessanten zonen schon dargestellt.
Die offizielle Website von Arma3 wurde mit den neuesten Informationen über die Kampagne aktualisiert.
In erster Linie ist hier ein kurzer einblick auf den Hintergrund und die Geschichte von Limnos: "Mitten in den Ereignissen von 2033, wurde die Insel von einer geschwächten Kontingent der Hellenic Air Force und der Hellenic Army verteidigt. Elemente, aus denen iranische Angriffe erfolgreich abgewehrt wurden bevor sie für mehrere Wochen durch die iranischen Streitkräfte besetzt wurden. In den Wochen und Monaten nach dem Jerusalemer Friedensabkommen von 2034, die die Position des Iran in der Ägäis kristalisiert. Eine kleine Gruppe von griechischen Streitkräften richteten eine Widerstandsbewegung die verdeckt von den Vereinigten Staaten und Großbritannien unterstützt werden ein.
Limnos
Einführung
Ihr Einsatzgebiet ist die Insel Limnos, einst eine bedeutende griechische Air Force Base im Mittelmeer, jetzt ein Remote-feindliches Gebiet tief hinter den feindlichen Linien. Immer noch teilweise von einem Bruchteil der ursprünglichen griechischen Bevölkerung und Flüchtlinge aus dem östlichen Mittelmeer bewohnt, trägt die Insel viele Narben von den erbitterten Kämpfen zwischen der NATO und den eindringenden iranische Truppen im Jahre 2025. Der große Flugplatz und der angrenzenden Militärbasis dient nun als Grundlage für eine große Versorgung des iranischen Ziels Omega.
Geographie
Limnos, auf einer Fläche von fast 300 Quadratkilometern, liegt im nördlichen Ägäis (39 ° 54'04 "N, 25 ° 14'25" E) gelegen. Das Gelände der Nord-West-Teil ist erstaunlich hügelig, schrittweise Senkung Richtung Osten bis in das Flachland, dessen höchsten Gipfel erreichen fast 400 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Das Klima der Insel ist mediterran, mit besonders starken Winde und Durchschnittstemperatur, etwas kälter als griechische Festland, milde Winter mit dem gelegentlichen Schneefall.
Die meisten bewohnten und entwickelten Gebiete finden Sie auf der Süd-West seite der Insel. Die aktuelle Einwohnerzahl (ohne militärisches Personal) teilweise unter den einsamen Bauernhöfen und Dörfern verteilt, beläuft sich auf etwa 2.000 sein. Geschichte
Limnos spielte eine wichtige Rolle für viele Kulturen im Laufe der Geschichte. Es gibt viele Spuren der antiken Geschichte auf der ganzen Insel zu finden. Die Insel wurde besonders ihre bedeutung während der Schlacht von Gallipoli und später im Jahr 1918 als der Waffenstillstand zwischen den Alliierten und dem Osmanischen Reich in der Stadt Moudros unterzeichnet wurde.
Die jüngste Geschichte ist teilweise unbekannt wegen des allgemeinen Mangels an Aufzeichnungen aus den umstrittenen Gebieten nach dem Ausbruch der Feindseligkeiten in Jahre 2020. Während 2025 wurde die Insel von der 27. MEU des United States Marine Corps zur verteidigung besetzt und konnten sich erfolgreich gegen die Iranschen Streitkräfte behaupten trotz der versenkung der Amphibischen Flotte der 27. MEU. In den folgenden Jahren wurde die Insel unter der Verwaltung der iranischen Streitkräfte gestellt. Etwa 2029 wurde auf Limnos die Marionettenregierung des neuen Griechenland mit Unterstützung des Iran geschaffen. Diese arbeitetenzusammen mit den Kommunen und den lokalen iranischen Militärs(siehe Factions - Milizen). Im Jahr 2030 wurden die ersten Fälle von bewaffneten Widerstand gegen die neue Regierung Griechenlands und iranischen Truppen bekannt, seitdem investieren iranische Truppen und NG Milizen in eine low-intensity COIN-Kampagne.
Situation
Die meisten der ehemals bewohnte Gebiete sind derzeit unbewohnt. Höchste Bevölkerungsdichte können in der Nähe von Myrina und entlang der südwestlichen Küste gefunden werden. Die größte Siedlung ist derzeit die Militärbasis, die nur durch iranische Truppen bewohnt wird.
Die grundlegende Infrastruktur ist weitgehend aufgrund von Intensiven Gefechte, zerfallen. Eingeschränkte Grundversorgungen sind weitgehend intakt. Die Bewohner werden von Myrina aus mit Strom, intakte Kanalisation und Trinkwasser versorgt. Die Lokale Wirtschaft basiert auf direkten Tauschhandel auf lokale Produkte. Vor allem Gemüse, gentechnisch verändertem Mais und Oliven, Fleisch und Fisch. Die Leistungen sind begrenzt, vermutlich stark abhängig von Gebildeten oder ausgebildeten Personen wie in ähnlichen Gesellschaften in der gesamten Europäischen Kriegsgebiet gibt es einen allgemeinen Mangel an hallo-Tech-Ausrüstung, medizinische Versorgung, Kleidung und Luxusgüter. Durch regelmäßige Lieferungen aus der Türkei, sind Treibstoff und Munition gut zugänglich in den Neu griechischen Gebieten.
Mehrheit der Insel ist in den Händen der feindlichen Kräfte. Um die Sicherheit über den Bereich zu halten, wurden viele Beobachtungsposten und Kontrollpunkte eingerichtet. Viele von ihnen in abgelegenen Teilen der Insel. Mehrere Widerstandsgruppen sind höchstwahrscheinlich versteckt in den bergigen Regionen, weit entfernt von den häufig verwendeten Routen und militärischen Außenposten. Iranische Truppen werden per Flugzeug und Schiff mit Gütern versorgt. Die Basis bietet unabhängige Stromerzeugung, Wasseraufbereitung de-Salter und anderen lebenserhaltende Grundversorgungen.
Die Sicherheitsstufe ist im Allgemeinen hoch. Die Gebiete stehen unter Kontrolle der Neu griechischen Miliz, oder unter direkter Überwachung von iranischen Truppen. Entfernte Gebieten stehen unter der Kontrolle von verschiedenen paramilitärischen Gruppierungen.
