The german Gamestar magazine has written a very interesting preview about OFP 2. Our newsposter Deadeye was kind enough to translate some of the information that was included in the preview.
American forces are stationed to protect americans working on Skira (oil and gas companies). Without a warning the chinese army invades the island and forces the US Army to retreat. Russia is requesting american support and the USA sends the USS Iwo Jima to the conflict region. The first part of the campaign will be settled during the chinese invasion, whereas you will be part of the American intervention force in the second part.
