520    The leader of an empire invades Iraq. He has inadequate 
       intelligence and underestimates the resistance of the 
       locals, but he believes his overwhelming military strength
       will bring him a swift victory. His army overruns the area
       between the Tigris and the Euphrates, but as soon as he 
       occupies the area a massive insurgency arises, made up of 
       various ethnic and religious groups. What began as a 
       simple conquest for dominance bogs down in deadly fighting
       as the once-victorious commander-in-chief now desperately 
       searches for an exit strategy ... This scenario could be 
       any number of Roman campaigns
