Georgia At War is a dynamic campaign where players start with a small foothold in Russian territory near Ukraine, and must fight their way to Maykop. Players must clear and capture territory to create forward bases to keep the pressure up on the enemy and to keep their airfields supplied. You are pitted against an AI commander who will react to your actions, he'll counter attack territory you've captured, proactively capture territory you aren't guarding, and in general do his best to foil your efforts to extend your front line eastward. | Georgia At War is a dynamic campaign where players start with a small foothold in Russian territory near Ukraine, and must fight their way to Maykop.

The overall objective in GAW is to capture Maykop. However you won't be able to do that without stringing together smaller victories to expand your center of operations. This is important for 2 reasons. First, you have limited supplies at your base. There are warehouses in the theater that must be captured to ensure that you continue receiving weapons at your base. Second, having to fly back to your starting base to rearm and refuel after sorties will decrease the amount of time you are on station, giving the commander openings to retake territory. | The overall objective in GAW is to capture Maykop.

Capturing territory (airfields, and FARPs) is done in one of two ways. First players must clear a path to the territory they intend to capture. The mission is different every time so depending on how the commander chose to deploy his forces this may include removing SAM threats, AAA, mechanized infantry, enemy aircraft, or any number of other enemy units that might be covering the territory. | Capturing territory (airfields, and FARPs) is done in one of two ways.

Georgia At War is a dynamic campaign where players start with a small foothold in Russian territory near Ukraine, and must fight their way to Maykop. Players must clear and capture territory to create forward bases to keep the pressure up on the enemy and to keep their airfields supplied. You are pitted against an AI commander who will react to your actions, he'll counter attack territory you've captured, proactively capture territory you aren't guarding, and in general do his best to foil your efforts to extend your front line eastward.
Key Concepts
The F10 Menu
Almost all actions in GAW are done via the F10 menu. This can be used by opening the communication menu (the "\" key by default), and pressing F10 or using the mouse to select "Other".
Capturing Territory
The overall objective in GAW is to capture Maykop. However you won't be able to do that without stringing together smaller victories to expand your center of operations. This is important for 2 reasons. First, you have limited supplies at your base. There are warehouses in the theater that must be captured to ensure that you continue receiving weapons at your base. Second, having to fly back to your starting base to rearm and refuel after sorties will decrease the amount of time you are on station, giving the commander openings to retake territory.

SEAD
SEAD missions involve destroying strategic SAM sites that are deployed across the theater. These missions are critical as these large SAM sites are capable of denying large areas of the map to the players. Completing these missions will allow the blue coalition deeper access into the theater. Su-25T SEAD Guide
Air Interdiction
Battlefield Air Interdiction missions involve attacking assets against mobile ground units like armor columns, artillery, or mechanized infantry. These units are very dangerous to both units on the ground holding territory, and low flying vehicles like helicopters that are needed to deliver troops and vehicles to fortify your front line.
