Between a Rock and a Hard Place

is a campaign mission in Diplomacy is Not an Option.
==Briefing==
Hiding behind the noblest impulse to save your fellow man, you ran away from the endless troubles at home and rushed to help your uncle.No one met you at the gate. And your uncle's castle looked as if a pair, or even two pairs, of dragons have been mating on its roof.You were just about to flee when it turned out you didn't have enough provisions for the return voyage. So you ended up going up to Lord Penderaine's chambers...
;Start
May 4, 1491. Thousands of peasants from all over the country flock to the banners of one Scott the Bloody. My uncle's castle is the last barrier to his army reaching the capital. King Ferdinand II the Fat ordered me to stop the renegade at any cost.
==Mission==
The second mission introduces a branching choice:
* For the King: Show the backwoods rebels who's in charge and squash their impostor leader like a cockroach
* For the People: Teach the crowned vulture a lesson and side with the downtrodden people of Samreignia
The choice determines the subsequent campaign path, with the rebellion path harder than the one of fighting for the King.
===Loyalist path===
There are six waves to clear and a map with numerous enemy camps to clear. Perhaps the most important of these camps is the one directly to the east, which introduces the Rebel Catapult and some parity to the force distribution.
