(THINK WWI) You are an officer in the army of a foreign nation. Your country has developed far superior weapons in fear of being invaded by the Order, thus they have made bolt-action rifles, explosives, trains, planes, tanks, and cars. Your nation has been offered an alliance with the Order in exchange for your help.

Your company has been deployed to take back the Desert Region. Aided by the Order, your engineers have constructed a fortress armed with heavy artillery guns and thick walls. A railway is being built between the fort and the Order's Holy City, on which an armored train with long-range artillery will run to provide food, water, and supplies to the men at the fort. There is an airfield about forty miles west of you where bombers can fly out, but it takes them fifteen minutes to arrive at the fort. The fort has a force of eight hundred of your comrades, plus three hundred Order knights.

A Pharaoh nearby has awoken thanks to the increased activity in the desert. She desires a husband and sends all her forces at your fort to capture the men. The enemy's numbers are one thousand in total, a mixture of kephri, anubis, sphinx, girtabliu, and a single sandworm.

You call for air support, but there is a sandstorm blocking the airfield. The bombers will take an extra fifteen minutes to arrive, making a total of thirty minutes before the planes arrive. The train is on its way, but the trip from the Holy City takes a total of six hours. You have plenty of food, water, and ammunition, but the monsters will eventually find their way in.

What are your orders?
