I hope so as it was the best map in BF2. That's when we will see Wake Island. Edit: How in the world is [removed] censored? 2.1K Battlefield V - PC Community. DICE did try to remake Strike at Karkand in Battlefield 3 but the way that the gameplay has changed made the map not as enjoyable as it was in Battlefield 2 or 1942. That is probably how it is going to be with Wake Island again as Battlefield V gameplay is completely different to that of Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 1942.

The Battle of Wake Island began simultaneously with the attack on Pearl Harbor naval and air bases in Hawaii and ended on 23 December 1941, with the surrender of the American forces to the Empire of Japan. It was fought on and around the atoll formed by Wake Island and its minor islets of Peale and Wilkes Islands by the air, land, and naval forces of the Japanese Empire against those of the United States, with Marines playing a prominent role on both sides.

The island was held by the Japanese for the duration of the Pacific War theater of World War II; the remaining Japanese garrison on the island surrendered to a detachment of United States Marines on 4 September 1945, after the earlier surrender on 2 September 1945 on the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay to General Douglas MacArthur.^[7]

Prelude[edit]

In January 1941, the United States Navy constructed a military base on the atoll. On 19 August, the first permanent military garrison, understrength elements of the 1st Marine Defense Battalion^[8] totaling 450 officers and men,^[9] was stationed on the island, under Major James P.S. Devereux, USMC of Baltimore. The defense battalion was supplemented by Marine Corps fighter plane squadron VMF-211, consisting of 12 F4F-3 Wildcatfighters, commanded by marine aviator Major Paul A. Putnam, USMC. Also, present on the island were 68 U.S. Navy personnel and about 1,221 civilian workers for the Morrison-Knudsen Civil Engineering Company. Forty-five Chamorro men (native Micronesians from the Mariana Islands and Guam) were employed by Pan American Airways at the company's facilities on Wake Island, one of the stops on the Pan Am Clipper trans-Pacific amphibious air service initiated in 1935.

Crack serial cracks hk parts. The Marines were armed with six 5-inch (127 mm)/51 cal pieces, originating from the old battleship USS Texas; twelve 3 in (76 mm)/50 calanti-aircraft guns (with only a single working anti-aircraft director among them); eighteen .50 in (12.7 mm) Browningheavy machine guns; and thirty .30 in (7.62 mm) heavy, medium and light water- and air-cooled machine guns.

On 28 November, naval aviator CommanderWinfield S. Cunningham, USN reported to Wake to assume overall command of U.S. forces on the island. He had 10 days to examine the defenses and assess his men before war broke out.

On 8 December, just hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor (Wake being on the opposite side of the International Date Line), 36 Japanese Mitsubishi G3M3 medium bombers flown from bases on the Marshall Islands attacked Wake Island, destroying eight of the 12 F4F-3 Wildcats on the ground.^[10] The remaining four Wildcats were in the air patrolling, but because of poor visibility, failed to see the attacking Japanese bombers. These Wildcats shot down two bombers on the following day.^[11] All of the Marine garrison's defensive emplacements were left intact by the raid, which primarily targeted the aircraft. Of the 55 Marine aviation personnel, 23 were killed and 11 were wounded.

Following this attack, the Pan Am employees were evacuated, along with the passengers of the 'Philippine Clipper,' a passing Martin 130 amphibious flying boat that had survived the attack unscathed. The Chamorro working men were not allowed to board the plane and were left behind.^[12]

Two more air raids followed. The main camp was targeted on 9 December, destroying the civilian hospital and the Pan Am air facility. The next day, enemy bombers focused on outlying Wilkes Island. Following the raid on 9 December, the guns had been relocated in case the Japanese had photographed the positions. Wooden replicas were erected in their place, and the Japanese bombers attacked the decoy positions. A lucky strike on a civilian dynamite supply set off a chain reaction and destroyed the munitions for the guns on Wilkes.^[12]

First landing attempt[edit]

Early on the morning of 11 December, the garrison, with the support of the four remaining Wildcats, repelled the first Japanese landing attempt by the South Seas Force, which included the light cruisers Yubari, Tenryū, and Tatsuta; the destroyersYayoi, Mutsuki, Kisaragi, Hayate, Oite, and Asanagi; two Momi-class destroyers converted to patrol boats (Patrol Boat No. 32 and Patrol Boat No. 33), and two troop transport ships containing 450 Special Naval Landing Force troops.

The US Marines fired at the invasion fleet with their six 5-inch (127 mm) coast-defense guns. Major Devereux, the Marine commander under Cunningham, ordered the gunners to hold their fire until the enemy moved within range of the coastal defenses. 'Battery L', on Peale islet, sank Hayate at a distance of 4,000 yd (3,700 m) with at least two direct hits to her magazines, causing her to explode and sink within two minutes, in full view of the defenders on shore. Battery A claimed to have hit Yubari several times, but her action report makes no mention of any damage^[2]. The four Wildcats also succeeded in sinking the destroyer Kisaragi by dropping a bomb on her stern where the depth charges were stored. Both Japanese destroyers were lost with nearly all hands (there was only one survivor, from Hayate), with Hayate becoming the first Japanese surface warship to be sunk in the war. The Japanese recorded 407 casualties during the first attempt.^[2] The Japanese force withdrew without landing, suffering their first setback of the war against the Americans.

After the initial raid was fought off, American news media reported that, when queried about reinforcement and resupply, Commander Cunningham was reported to have quipped, 'Send us more Japs!' In fact, Cunningham sent a long list of critical equipment—including gunsights, spare parts, and fire-controlradar—to his immediate superior: Commandant, 14th Naval District.^[13] But the siege and frequent Japanese air attacks on the Wake garrison continued, without resupply for the Americans.

The initial resistance offered by the garrison prompted the Japanese Navy to detach the aircraft carriersSōryū and Hiryū from the force that had attacked Pearl Harbor to support the second landing attempt.

Aborted USN relief attempt[edit]

The projected US relief attempt by Admiral Frank Fletcher's Task Force 11 (TF 11), supported by Admiral Wilson Brown’s TF 14, consisted of the fleet carrier Saratoga, the fleet oilerNeches, the seaplane tenderTangier, the heavy cruisers Astoria, Minneapolis, and San Francisco, and 10 destroyers. The convoy carried the 4th Marine Defense Battalion and fighter squadronVMF-221, equipped with Brewster F2A-3 Buffalo fighters, along with 9,000 5-inch rounds, 12,000 3-inch (76 mm) rounds, and 3,000,000 .50-inch (12.7 mm) rounds, as well as a large amount of ammunition for mortars and other battalion small arms. TF 14—with the fleet carrier Lexington, three heavy cruisers, eight destroyers, and an oiler—was to undertake a raid on the Marshall Islands to divert Japanese attention.^{[citation needed]}

At 21:00 on 22 December, after receiving information indicating the presence of two IJN carriers and two fast battleships (which were actually heavy cruisers) near Wake Island, Vice AdmiralWilliam S. Pye—the Acting Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet—ordered TF 11 to return to Pearl Harbor.^[14]

Second assault[edit]

The second Japanese invasion force came on 23 December, composed mostly of the ships from the first attempt with the major reinforcements of the carriers Hiryū and Sōryū, plus 1,500 Japanese marines. The landings began at 02:35; after a preliminary bombardment, the ex-destroyers Patrol Boat No. 32 and Patrol Boat No. 33 were beached and burned in their attempts to land the invasion force. After a full night and morning of fighting, the Wake garrison surrendered to the Japanese by mid-afternoon.

The US Marines lost 49 killed, two missing, and 49 wounded during the 15-day siege, while three US Navy personnel and at least 70 US civilians were killed, including 10 Chamorros, and 12 civilians wounded. 433 US personnel were captured. Japanese losses were 144 casualties, 140 SNLF and Army casualties with another 4 aboard ships.^[3] At least 28 land-based and carrier aircraft were also either shot down or damaged. The Japanese captured all men remaining on the island, the majority of whom were civilian contractors employed by the Morrison-Knudsen Company.^[15]

CaptainHenry T. Elrod, one of the pilots from VMF-211, was awarded the Medal of Honorposthumously for his action on the island during the second landing attempt, having shot down two Japanese A6M2 Zeros and sunk the Japanese destroyer Kisaragi. A special military decoration, the Wake Island Device, affixed to either the Navy Expeditionary Medal or the Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal, was created to honor those who had fought in the defense of the island.

Japanese occupation[edit]

Fearing an imminent invasion, the Japanese reinforced Wake Island with more formidable defenses. The American captives were ordered to build a series of bunkers and fortifications on Wake. The Japanese brought in an 8-inch (200 mm) naval gun which is often incorrectly^[16] reported as having been captured in Singapore. The U.S. Navy established a submarine blockade instead of an amphibious invasion of Wake Island. As a result, the Japanese garrison starved, which led to their hunting the Wake Island Rail, an endemic bird, to extinction. On 24 February 1942, aircraft from the carrier Enterprise attacked the Japanese garrison on Wake Island. U.S. forces bombed the island periodically from 1942 until Japan’s surrender in 1945. On 24 July 1943, Consolidated B-24 Liberators led by Lieutenant Jesse Stay of the 42nd Squadron (11th Bombardment Group) of the U.S. Army Air Forces, in transit from Midway Island, struck the Japanese garrison on Wake Island. At least two men from that raid were awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for their efforts.^[17] Future President George H. W. Bush also flew his first combat mission as a naval aviator over Wake Island. After this, Wake was occasionally raided but never attacked en masse.

War crimes[edit]

On 5 October 1943, American naval aircraft from Lexington raided Wake. Two days later, fearing an imminent invasion, Japanese Rear Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara ordered the execution of the 98 captive American civilian workers who had initially been kept to perform forced labor. They were taken to the northern end of the island, blindfolded and executed with a machine gun. One of the prisoners (whose name has never been discovered) escaped, apparently returning to the site to carve the message '98 US PW 5-10-43' on a large coral rock near where the victims had been hastily buried in a mass grave. The unknown American was recaptured, and Sakaibara personally beheaded him with a katana. The inscription on the rock can still be seen and is a Wake Island landmark.^[18]

On 4 September 1945, the remaining Japanese garrison surrendered to a detachment of US Marines. The handover of Wake was officially conducted in a brief ceremony aboard the destroyer escort Levy.

After the war, Sakaibara and his subordinate, a lieutenant commander, were sentenced to death for the massacre of the 98 and for other war crimes. Several Japanese officers in American custody had committed suicide over the incident, leaving written statements that incriminated Sakaibara. Sakaibara was hanged on 18 June 1947.^[19] Eventually, the subordinate's sentence was commuted to life in prison. The murdered civilian POWs were reburied after the war in Honolulu's National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, commonly known as Punchbowl Crater.^[20]

Original maps

Dalian Plant

• Location: Dalian, Manchuria, China, Asia
• Setting: Coastal
• Teams: Rapid Deployment forces, USMC versus Second Army, PLA

United States Rapid Deployment forces are advancing to capture the Dalian Plant nuclear facility and force disruptions to the electrical grid in northern China. Elements of the Second Army of the People’s Republic of China have moved forward to serve as an improvised defensive force. This location is of vital strategic importance to both sides, for a major reduction of the generating capacity of the People's Liberation Army forces would allow rapid consolidation of United States units dispersed throughout this vast region.

Daqing Oilfields

• Location: Daqing, Manchuria, China, Asia
• Setting: winter, forest
• Teams: USMC versus PLA

American forces striking south are now poised to seize this crucial logistic component in China’s ongoing war effort, seeking to both divert petroleum resources while simultaneously hindering People's Liberation Army mechanized efforts in this sector. The stakes are high in this head-on collision between advancing United States brigades and the defending Chinese forces, with both sides advised to cautiously advance through this volatile landscape.

Dragon Valley

• Location: Minshan Mountain Range, Huanglong, China, Asia
• Setting: Autumn/Fall, River valley with step canyon walls.
• Teams: USMC versus PLA

Ancient legends of this 'fairyland on Earth' tell of a yellow dragon that helped a king channel flood waters into the sea. Currently, American military forces are converging upon this idyllic valley to secure a foothold in the Minshan mountain range. Elements of the United States Marines are on the offensive in this sector, while the forces of the People’s Republic of China are called upon to defend ancient ancestral lands, in what promises to be a bitter engagement.

FuShe Pass

• Location: Manchuria, China, Asia
• Setting: northeastern highland
• Teams: USMC versus PLA

China’s rich mining areas in the northeastern highland have become contested by rapidly deploying American and Chinese forces. The narrow canyons carved into this region channel both forces into inevitable head-on confrontations as each seeks to secure the prized uranium mines with their advancing forces. In the context of this double assault, success will favor the bold, given the constrained nature of this rugged battlefield.

Gulf of Oman

• Location: Gulf of Oman, Persian Gulf Coast, Middle East
• Setting: Coastal
• Teams: Marine Expeditionary Unit, USMC versus MEC

A United States Marine Corps Marine Expeditionary Unit has landed on this Persian Gulf beach during the night in the hopes of quickly seizing the nearby Middle Eastern Coalition airbase. The stakes are high for both sides. The Marines face possibly being driven into the sea and destroyed. The Middle Eastern Coalition forces could lose a key airbase and open the door for United States forces to take strategic oilfields. Both sides have been using the morning to prepare for a final assault.

Kubra Dam

• Location: Unknown riverbed, Saudi Arabia, Middle East
• Setting: Summer, Canyon
• Teams: Active Component brigades, USMC versus MEC

Active Component brigades of the US Marines are deploying toward a key dam site in the Saudi desert, intent upon control of this strategic location. To counter the threat, MEC forces are advancing their own mobile brigades to blunt the US spearhead. This rough desert terrain contains a mix of terrain types, requiring the utmost in tactical flexibility by both US and MEC soldiers. The ultimate objective of both sides in this battle is to gain control of the entire Kubra Dam sector.This map is not available for single-player.

Mashtuur City

• Location: Near the Persian Gulf, Iran, Middle East
• Setting: Urban
• Teams: USMC versus MEC

Leading elements of the United States ground force must capture Mashtuur City, a primary Middle East axis of advance. In response, Middle Eastern Coalition units are rushing forward to hold the city at all costs. In this double assault upon a key urban asset, all elements of modern warfare are likely to be deployed, attempting to secure vital Control Points that dot the city. Victory will go to the side that controls the majority of Mashtuur when hostilities cease. This map is not available for single-player.

Operation Clean Sweep

• Location: entrance to the Persian Gulf
• Setting: Archipelago
• Teams: Rapid Deployment force, USMC vs MEC

This vital entrance to the Persian Gulf is held by local Middle Eastern Coalition forces who have established a strong defensive presence on the scattered islands of the waterway. For the United States Rapid Deployment force to clear the waterway they must first deploy air assets to disable a key Middle Eastern Coalition power station, after which the US force must enter the channel and capture the islands defended by these determined Middle Eastern Coalition fighters.

Road to Jalalabad

• Location: Jalalabad, Afghanistan
• Setting: Desert/Urban
• Teams: USMC vs MEC

The American war machine has thundered over to the eastern border of Afghanistan in its continued battle against the MEC. Jalalabad dominates the entrances to the Laghman and Kunar valleys, and is the first stop for men and supplies streaming across the Pakistani border into Afghanistan. It’s a crucial training and logistical outpost of the MEC forces, who are holed up in the heart of the city awaiting an impending US onslaught with bated breath. This city is a strategic capture point and must be taken at any cost!

Sharqi Peninsula

• Location: Peninsula on the Persian Gulf
• Setting: Coastal, Urban
• Teams: Rapid Deployment forces, USMC vs MEC

This vital position on the Persian Gulf possesses a television station with a powerful transmitter, allowing it to aid propaganda support for the ongoing Middle Eastern Coalition campaign. United States Rapid Deployment forces have captured this coastal position and now face a determined counterattack by converging Middle Eastern Coalition forces. This lazy seaside resort of villas, markets and beach houses is about to become a modern battlefield as United States forces attempt to hold on to their newly-captured communications prize.

Songhua Stalemate

• Location: Near Songhua, Manchuria, China, Asia
• Setting: Autumn/Fall, Marsh
• Teams: Active Component brigades, USMC vs PLA

Newly formed Active Component brigades of the United States Marines advance from the Russian plains into the territories of the People’s Republic of China where rapidly deployed Chinese forces mass to counter the assault. The stalemated situation along the Songhua River has deteriorated into reciprocal assaults by both sides, each seeking to capture this vital transportation artery. Stakes are high in this double assault that involves control of a main gateway to Southern Manchuria.

Strike at Karkand

• Location: Karkand, Middle East
• Setting: Summer, Urban
• Teams: USMC versus MEC

Control of the industrial facility and harbor at Karkand motivate this assault by United States forces, where they find Middle Eastern Coalition forces marshalling to defend the industrial city and determined to meet this attack with stiff resistance. Karkand bares a strong resemblance to the real-life city of Baghdad, and the terrain surrounding Karkand sufficiently opens to allow for sweeping fields of fire but the open ground increases the danger posed by anti-vehicle missiles and sniping. It is thus vital for both sides to secure firebases in Karkand’s sheltered city center.

Wake Island 2007

• Location: Wake Island, North Pacific Ocean
• Setting: Coastal
• Teams: USMC versus PLA

In a surprise move, forces of the People’s Liberation Army have attacked and captured Wake Island in a bid to threaten United States lines of supply. United States Marine Corps forces have been short-stopped from their deployment in Manchuria to respond to this new threat. The airbase on Wake Island is the lynchpin of the Chinese air threat; however, it is highly susceptible to ground attack from either the northern or southern approaches of the island.

NOTE: This is based on the historical battle of Wake Island that was during World War 2. But here it has changed roles. The Asians defend, the Americans attack.

Zatar Wetlands

• Location: Red Sea, Yemen, Middle East
• Setting: Summer, Plains
• Teams: USMC versus MEC

The Zatar Wetlands along the Red Sea coastline possess vital natural gas resources, but create a difficult battlefield for United States and Middle Eastern Coalition forces. Small tributaries break the landscape into isolated islands whose soggy marshes inhibit heavy vehicles. As American forces advance, Middle Eastern Coalition forces possess an initial advantage in the air. Control of an abandoned airfield is crucial in the battle, after which supply line protection will become an additional consideration.

Devil's Perch

• Location: Coast of Lebanon
• Setting: Nighttime, uphill
• Teams: USN versus MEC Special Forces

Located off the coast of Lebanon, the Devil's Perch was once a sanitarium but has since been abandoned. MEC Special Forces have moved in and are using it as an intelligence base to gather information on nearby European countries. Having made this discovery, the US is sending in the Navy SEALs under the cover of night to clear out the MEC threat. The battle will be swift and fierce, but the team that can perform expertly on rugged terrain and use the dark to their advantage will be victorious.

Ghost Town

• Location: Caspian Sea
• Setting: Urban
• Teams: Russian Spetsnaz versus British SAS

An entire Russian light mechanized company was recently wiped out while passing through this deserted ghost town on the Caspian Coast, leaving smoking wrecks littering the empty streets. Fearful that sensitive material may be uncovered within the wreckage, Spetsnaz agents have been sent to secure the area. Mindful of the Russian concerns, the British have secretly deployed the SAS to uncover the Russian secrets before the Spetsnaz can arrive..

Iron Gator

• Location: American amphibious assault ship USS Essex
• Setting: Indoors/ Deck of Ship
• Teams: USN versus Special Forces, MEC

MEC Special Forces have launched an attack on the USS Essex amphibious assault ship. Their intelligence was impeccable, allowing them to coordinate their assault with only a skeleton crew of US Navy SEALs onboard. Even so, the SEALs are well equipped, and prepared to put up a fierce fight in defense of their ship, affectionately referred to as 'The Iron Gator'. This close quarters fight inside the halls of the carrier will be won by the team working as coordinated squads and practicing superior infantry tactics.

Leviathan

• Location: Persian Gulf
• Setting: Nighttime, coastal base
• Teams: USN versus MEC Special Forces

American nuclear submarines are lying peacefully in their pens, undergoing repairs at a naval base in the Persian Gulf. Unknown to the elite Navy SEALs guarding the facility, MEC Special Forces are about to begin a nighttime raid to destroy the submarines. Should they succeed, the nuclear catastrophe could mark the beginning of the end for US forces in the Middle East.

Mass Destruction

• Location: Southern Russia
• Setting: Abandoned industrial area
• Teams: Russian Spetsnaz versus Rebels

The Spetsnaz have recently discovered activity around an abandoned factory in southern Russia. Reconnaissance teams have discovered that Rebels have brought the factory back online with the intent to develop chemical weapons. The Rebels must be removed, and any found materials returned to Mother Russia for further investigation!

Night Flight

• Location: Syria
• Setting: Nighttime, abandoned airport
• Teams: British SAS versus Insurgents

Insurgents have secretly occupied a decommissioned airport in Syria. After receiving their first shipment of supplies by cargo plane, they are in the process of bringing the airport back online. The British have sent in an SAS team in the dead of night to clear the Insurgent threat before the airstrip is fully operational. Taking advantage of their nighttime training, the SAS approach the Insurgent positions undetected.

Surge

• Location: Kazakhstan
• Setting: Abandoned missile complex
• Teams: Russian Spetsnaz versus Rebels

Local Rebels have reactivated an abandoned missile launch site in Kazakhstan and plan to launch a missile they have managed to piece together through acquisitions on the black market. The Spetsnaz are moving in to sabotage the launch site and clear out the insurgency.

Warlord

Battlefield 2 Wake Island 2007

• Location: Fallujah, Iraq
• Setting: Urban
• Teams: British SAS versus Insurgents

An Insurgent warlord has been commissioning attacks against British forces in the area with tremendous success, using local civilians as a shield against retribution. His reign of terror is about to be challenged. The SAS have been called in to execute a surgical strike on the Warlord's compound and surrounding Insurgent strongholds. Navigating perilous streets and alleys, the SAS must push towards the palace, but the Insurgents have the area well-guarded and won't give it up!

Euro Force maps

Great Wall

• Location: China
• Setting: Autumn/Fall, Great Wall of China
• Teams: European Union versus PLA

Battlefield 2 Wake Island Map Download

A newly negotiated peace with Russia has allowed the European Union to launch an attack into mainland China from the north. The EU forces hope to breach the Great Wall of China and establish a base for future operations before continuing south to the coast, but their supply lines are dangerously thin. If the Chinese forces can head off the assault and hold them back long enough, the EU will have no choice but to retreat back into Russia. It's vital for them to link up with American forces attacking from the coast, or a sustained assault on China will be impossible!

Operation Smoke Screen

• Location: Middle East
• Setting: Desert
• Teams: European Union versus MEC

War continues to rage for the precious oil in the Middle East. The EU has come to aid their allies, confronting the MEC head-on in one of the most brutal battles of the war. Multiple assults on both fronts have pushed the armies back to their bases, decimating the middle ground and leaving the oil field a smoking ruin. Even though the oil reserves have been destroyed, what remains beneath the scorched desert sand makes this a battleground worth fighting for.

Taraba Quarry

• Location: Middle East
• Setting: River
• Teams: European Union versus MEC

The EU forces are en route to reinforce the American division that has been cut off from the front lines. The MEC have moved to intercept them, and both armies are about to meet at the Tabara Quarry, the only crossing point of the Tabara River this side of the Caspian Sea. If the MEC can hold their side of the river, the Americans will be cut off and surrounded. The EU must break through the enemy lines before the Americans are overrun!

Midnight Sun

• Location: Alaskan border, United States, North America
• Setting: TBA
• Teams: USMC versus PLA

The Chinese have made landfall on American soil, securing the Alaskan Port of Valdez and the oil that flows in from the Alaskan pipeline. The victory was quick, with most American forces preoccupied with MEC forces in the South. The Chinese have begun pushing upriver, skirmishing with the outnumbered but determined American soldiers, intent on making the Chinese pay for every inch of American soil. US Reinforcements have arrived, and the battle for the land of the midnight sun is about to begin.

Operation Harvest

• Location: Pennsylvania, United States, North America
• Setting: Plains
• Teams: USMC versus MEC

Units of the MEC Second Armored have fought their way from a beachhead landing in the Delaware Bay to here in the Pennsylvania Dutch farmland of Lancaster County. This bold push is to cut off American units moving south to reinforce Washington D.C., a city under siege by MEC forces. This agriculturally rich area of American culture is about to erupt, as battle hardened units of America’s Armored and Cavalry Divisions muster to stop the MEC Second Armored advance head on.

Operation Road Rage

• Location: United States, North America
• Setting: Freeway
• Teams: USMC versus MEC

The MEC forces have made landfall on the Eastern Coast of the United States, and are preparing to push inland. Caught by surprise, the US Marines are deploying nearby, hastily preparing a base of operations to stop the MEC advance. The key objective for both armies is a highway junction in the middle of the battlefield that grants access to nearly every key military target in the area. Whoever controls this overpass controls most of the Eastern Seaboard!
