The City of Ur was one of the cities of ancient Mesopotamia, near the river Euphrates in modern day Iraq. Over 5000 years old it is considered by many the cradle of human civilisation. Unlike other sites of great historical value in the region, such as the ruin of Babylon, it has survived untouched by Saddam Hussain’s megalomania, both Gulf Wars and the Allied Occupation, during which time it was used as a US Army base.
It was first discovered by British Archaeologists in the 1850s and it is only fitting that a team from the British Museum is going to return to renew archaeological activities there. With the region still unstable it is only prudent to employ some form of security to protect the British Nationals who will be working on the dig. That’s where you and your mates from Assault Group Maximum #5 come in.
The Company is a straightforward D100 game using OpenQuest of small unit modern warfare. This scenario gives a sci-fi twist to its otherwise present day setting.
