Map Description: Time to throw away your sniper rifles ladies, this is the ultimate in CQB, designed for big guns like M60's. 

In 1995, a German special forces unit were sent out into the Middle East to be trained in desert warfare, at a desolate location with the callsign "Luftmark", 100's of miles from the nearest human habitation. The compound they were stationed at was rather small but they had their own bar to get pissed with after a day's slaunter in the sun. One night, they got absolutely wrecked, and an argument broke out between a Sergeant and his NCO over which man could take more ale. They ended up fighting until everyone got involved. By the time they were sober, 10 or so men looked over the camp and had realised what they had done. Blood was everywhere, half the men were dead. Some had taken the fight too seriously and had started using their guns. That night one man was undoubtedly sober and had made an SOS signal, because the radio was now blaring out: "..This is Charlie Alpha Zero. Please report. How many casualities?.." There was little they could do but accept their fate, cut off all communication, man defensive postions around the compound with 24 hour watch. They waited exactly 3 and a half hours before they could see the first chopper on the horizon, then there were two, then there were three. All flying low, supposedely full of special forces units. One chopper went down and exploded into the compound when one of the mutineers shot it down with an RPG. The two landed on the edge, and for only a few seconds they were there before they stormed off and left again, leaving behind roughly 20 men armed to the teeth. The battle lasted all of 40 minutes, the mutineers had planted claymores and mines in strategic locations in order to slow down the soldiers advance around the buildings. Near the end, one mutineer was left and was trapped in a room, pinned down by M60 fire through the window. One of the men he had just slashed with a knife was lying on the ground next to him, squeeling in pain, not quite dead. He brought him closer and shouted: "What's your callsign?! Tell me dammit!!" He had the radio, and in a last effort of courage, he signalled to base, telling them Delta Five Nina needed an airstrike at the exact grid coordinates of Luftmark. The F22 Raptor flew over and bombarded the place, leaving no survivors. Charlie Alpha Zero had obviously expected well trained special forces soldiers to get the bloody hell out of the way if they're gutsy enough to order an airstrike. After no reponse via radio, more men were sent out to Luftmark, only to find nothing left, just rubble. Before leaving they were ordered to locate any mines and mark them out. Rough fencing was put around Luftmark with mine caution signs on all sides. They obviously didn't want anyone poking around there for the time being, not that anyone would be crazy enough to go that far out into the desert. A year later, there were rumours started by an Iranian expeditionist in the Middle East concerning reports of gunfire coming from the direction of Luftmark. They say it's the drunk ghost soldiers coming back to life to fight again.

Enjoy. :)
