ZSU Invade and Annex

ZSU Invade and Annex

Co-op PvE for up to 128 players, built on Conflict. Every player fights for the US against an AI-only Soviet force. Areas of Operations come up one at a time in random order until the whole map is taken back. The campaign is saved, so a server restart carries on where it left off.
