Campaign

Overview
The single-player campaign represents the story mode of Frontlines: Fuel of War, and tells the story of the Western Coalition's 'Stray Dogs' as they fight against the Red Star Alliance.

The war started after a global energy crisis pushed the world into a global economic depression worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s.

The Timeline in the field guide denotes that the Oil Wars started in 2024, with the Red Star invasion of Coalition-held territory in response to Coalition forces staging a coup in Turkmenistan (an oil-rich Red Star nation) in 2021 which resulted in the oil going to the Coalition's ports.
