The Anchorage Reclamation simulation is a virtual recreation of the famous Anchorage Reclamation created by Virtual Strategic Solutions, Inc. for the U.S. Army.

It can be found and entered at the Outcast Outpost in the old VSS Facility at Bailey's Crossroads.

DevelopmentEdit

Entries found in a terminal in the Outcast Outpost detail the development of the simulation. The entry dated August 15, 2077 describes how General Constantine Chase tested the simulation himself, but claimed it didn't "feel right," and that hardware problems were prevalent. The second entry dated September 6, 2077 tells of how Chase was making elaborate changes to the simulation which the writer of the entry felt were "divorced from reality," and that he was sure that the real Anchorage Reclamation had never happened the way Chase portrayed it. The writer goes on to say that everyone was beginning to think Chase was going insane, but no one confronted him because they feared that the military would take over the project. At the very end, the writer questions why running the simulation was necessary anymore, since "any tactical data was mined months ago".

In particular, the VB-02 Vertibirds were present in the simulation in full operational capacity when in fact they wouldn't even reach prototype stage until much later. There is also doubt over the plausibility of Chimeras as shown in the simulation, since no other source material on the Reclamation makes any mention of it.

LocationsEdit

Anchorage CliffsEdit

	Site map marker Listening Post part of Anchorage Reclamation simulation Other quests Paving the Way Technical cell name DLC02ListeningPost ref id xx000fe9

The Chinese Listening post of Calliway Ridge is a Chinese base used for Intelligence purposes and troop coordination.

Battlefield TrenchesEdit

	Location Anchorage Reclamation simulation
	Site map marker Trenches part of Anchorage Reclamation simulation Other quests Operation: Anchorage

The only way from the U.S. Army Field HQ to the Pulse field leads through the Trenches, the main battlefield.

Pulse FieldEdit

	Location Anchorage Reclamation simulation
	Site map marker Pulse Field part of Anchorage Reclamation simulation Other quests Operation: Anchorage

The Pulse Field is the main defensive barrier of the Chinese Army, barring American power armor units from entering their headquarters and devastating the refinery.

Chinese CompoundEdit

	Location Anchorage Reclamation simulation
	Site map marker Chinese Compound part of Anchorage Reclamation simulation Other quests Operation: Anchorage Technical cell name DLC02ChineseHQCourtyard ref id xx001707

A captured refinery poses as the main Chinese stronghold in the simulation. General Jingwei is inside, seen executing an American soldier before engaging in conversation.

NotesEdit

• There are snowmen in some areas with American combat helmets and armor on. They also have American flags, and one snowman has a Chinese hat on. When it is attacked, blood spurts out. A Chinese flamer unit can be seen torching one of the American snowmen. The combat apparel worn by the snowmen are much larger than the player's.
• While there are map markers in the simulation, you will not be able to fast-travel to any of these locations.
• It is possible to transfer some items like the Repellent Stick into the simulation because they are quest items and can't be removed.
• The Chinese in the simulation only speak a non-fluent Chinese that is not recognizable as true to how a native Chinese person would actually speak.
• A reference is made to the Anchorage Reclamation simulation during the mission Tranquility Lane. If you choose to exit the Tranquility Lane simulation via the abandoned house, you can get into the Failsafe terminal and read a letter from General Constantine Chase to Doctor Stanislaus Braun regarding the Anchorage Reclamation simulation, followed by the town of Tranquility Lane being attacked by many Chinese commandos.
• While in the simulation, if the player possesses the Cannibal perk, you will have the option to devour the corpses before they disappear.
• Once you finish the simulation, it cannot be used again in the game. If you try to activate the simulation, it will just say "You must wear a neural interface suit to start the simulation", even if you are already wearing one.
• For some strange reason the water tower says "McLean"
• Also, both Anchorage views differ being the artillery ridge and the Chinese Compound as the Artillery Ridge one has two water towers while the Chinese Compound one has only one.

AppearancesEdit

The Anchorage Reclamation simulation appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.
