An operation code-named Magnitude begins. Single player includes both story-based campaign and sandbox mode (no victory conditions).

Developed by the Dutch developer Bohemia Interactive in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross, Laws of War is a large expansion to the popular military simulator Arma III, published in 2013. The main element of the expansion is the new, however relatively short, story campaign, in which the player assumes the role of Nathan MacDade – a bomb disposal expert working for the International Development & Aid Project (IDAP). His main objective is to disarm mines and unexploded ordnance remaining after the war between two fictional factions. Dade agrees to an interview with an investigative journalist, which forms a story background for the consecutive missions. Along with the new expansion, the players are given an entirely new faction – IDAP, which uses special equipment and numerous gadgets (e.g. a drone). The new faction also has a special vehicle, equipped with gear fitting one’s needs and parameters of the task at hand.
