The Terrans have been at war with the Gammulan race for years. In an attempt to change the tide of war and take the battle to the enemy the Terran military body, Galactic Command (GALCOM), has launched an all out attack on the Gammulan homeworlds. The events that take place in Angle Of Attack occur during the final days of the air campaign of the assault on LV-115 – an important planet used by the Gammulans for military purposes and as a staging area for their assault on GALCOM forces.
