Update Starfire's campaigns (#3352)

This updates all ten of my campaigns with the improvements I made for
the Retribution versions. There are Retribution-specific units and
trigger zones in the miz templates, but I've tested them and they don't
appear to cause any issues (since Liberation will just ignore the
unknown units and trigger zones). This will make things easier for me in
the future, because then I don't have to maintain two separate sets of
the same campaign files.

The changes include a total redo of supply routes for better convoy
on-road pathing, as well as a balance pass for squadron distribution and
strength.

I have also made a slight edit to one of my faction files to fix a typo.

+    A historic addition to Exercise Bright Star 2025 is the participation of 
+    Israel as an observer nation. This marks a significant milestone, given

-  troops at the Zugdidi Sector HQ will have to make a run for the coast,
-  supported by offshore US naval aircraft. The contingent is aware that their
-  best shot at survival is to swiftly retake Sukhumi before Russian forces have
-  a chance to dig in, so that friendly ground forces can land and reinforce
-  them.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> Ground unit purchase will not be available
-  past Turn 0 until Sukhumi is retaken, so it is imperative you reach Sukhumi
-  with at least one surviving ground unit to capture it. Two Hueys are available
-  at Zugdidi for some close air support. The player can either play the first
-  leg of the scenario as an evacuation with a couple of light vehicles (e.g.
-  Humvees) set on breakthrough (modifying waypoints in the mission editor so
-  they are not charging head-on into enemy ground forces is suggested), or
-  purchase heavier ground units if they wish to experience a more traditional
-  frontline ground war. Once Sukhumi has been captured, squadrons based in
-  Incirlik Turkey can be ferried in via the "From Incirlik" off-map spawn
-  point.</p>
+  <p><strong>Background</strong>  - The United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) has been actively monitoring the ceasefire agreement between Georgia and its breakaway region of Abkhazia. Recent developments have escalated tensions in the area, leading to a precarious situation for UN observers and affiliated personnel.
+  </p><p><strong>Current Situation</strong>  - UNOMIG observers, along with a contingent of international troops, have found themselves isolated due to the intervention of Russian forces supporting the separatist ambitions of Abkhazia. The UNOMIG headquarters located in Sukhumi has fallen into enemy hands. A smaller group based at the Zugdidi Sector Headquarters now faces the daunting task of navigating to safety with the aid of offshore naval air support.
+  </p><p><strong>Objective</strong>  - The immediate goal is to orchestrate a strategic withdrawal of UN forces to the coastline, leveraging support from US naval aircraft positioned offshore. The critical mission objective is the rapid recapture of Sukhumi. This action is essential to enable the landing of friendly ground forces and the ferrying in of land-based sqwuadrons from Incirlik.
+  </p><p><strong>Operational Constraints</strong>  - It is crucial to note that reinforcement of ground units will not be possible until Sukhumi is successfully recaptured. This recapture can either be performed using existing UN personnel and ground vehicles, or via heliborne assault troop insertion.
+  </p><p><strong>Assets & Support</strong>  - Available assets include two Huey helicopters for close air support. Commanders may opt to initiate the operation with light vehicles, such as Humvees, employing breakthrough tactics to avoid direct confrontations with enemy forces. Alternatively, the use of heavier ground units is an option for commanders seeking a more conventional combat engagement. Upon the recapture of Sukhumi, additional squadrons from Incirlik, Turkey, will become operational.
+  </p><p><strong>Secondary Objective</strong>  - Consider prioritising the capture of the Batumi airfield, located to the south, for its strategic value as a forward operating base. Commanders should be aware of the inherent risks, as the airfield is relatively small and lacks air defence systems, posing a significant threat to any stationed aircraft.</p>
