Ace Combat: Broken Line

## Broken Line

*"Three years until the outbreak of the Belkan War, and the calm before the storm is uneasy. The Cold War continues undaunted between the great powers of Osea and Yuktobania, and in the shadow of giants the lesser armies of the world march onward, for national pride or for skewed ideology. Conflicts arise, wars are fought, and blood spilled: sparks in a powder keg that threaten to push the world to its breaking point. But for those who would call themselves Aces, its's merely another day."*
