Die Hard on a Blimp

Die Hard on a Blimp was among the earliest of HILT games, and therefore mostly forgotten. However, that hasn't stopped us from shoehorning it into the canon with everything else!

Background
Shortly after a devastating war, the nations involved settled their differences and established an uneasy peace. A VERY uneasy peace. While their treaty forbade a war on their homelands, the continent of the Americas was mostly unclaimed, so as the nations grabbed for land, they found a loophole in their treaty by hiring mercenary armies to fight over the land for them.

Story
The plot began on board a blimp flying over Shanduchan airspace, when it became apparent terrorists had taken over the ship and were piloting it off course. A passenger, a German military commander of some merit, led a rebellion against the terrorists in an attempt to save the ship.

Upon reclaiming the ship, they realized not only them, but two others of the fleet had likewise been overthrown. Working quickly, the crew managed to destroy the other two blimps, as well as alerting Shanduchan command that there may be more ships which had been hijacked.
