Port Valdez

The Battle for Port Valdez was a turning point in the Russian invasion of the Americas. After facing defeat in South America, the Russian Federation turned it's eyes towards Alaska. They knew that most of the USA's oil and gas reserves were located in the state, which presented an opportunity to cripple the USA and swiftly move in for the killer blow.

Lead Up
The Russians had been finally pushed out of South America by the United States Marine Corps, who began mass assaults on Russian controlled sites, such as an armour assault that took place to push Russians out of an occupied town (as well as clearing it out for B-Company to move in and secure the Russian Aurora project leader.) Final, desperate assaults, such as the Battle for Arica, lead by the US, crippled the Russian military and prevented them from landing further troops in Chile. The Russian Generals and military minds were forced to come up with new tactics, as the Kremlin would not accept the failure of the invasion; the war in Europe was already starting to turn in the USA's favour. The Russian's eyes turned to Alaska. If the pipelines could be disabled and shutdown, then the entire US powergrid would be shutoff. The idea was that the Russians would assemble their forces after taking control of the oil/gas facilities and push down through Canada into the USA.

Location
Port Valdez is an industrial harbour on one side of the bay, and a sprawling city on the opposite side. The Russians would have to capture both sides simitaniously to gain access to the oil refineries at the end of the bay. The Southern Side, where the industrial port was located, was the most key, as the US had their primary command centre on that side. Fighting two battles would draw the Russians thin, especially as they were severly lacking in equipment and manpower. The US defenders stationed in the area outnumbered them 3:1.

Battle Plan
The plan was that the remaining (or surviving) Russian Airborne and their remaining equipment would parachute in before the primary assault was conducted. Russian leaders had designated 75 ground troops to the first attack wave, supported by
