Battle of Vladivostok

Mission
On, one division of 1000 paradroppers, under the command of Alexandros "Zeus" Kordakis, were to land in Vladivostok, liberate the city, then advance towards the west. A squadron of fighters, lead by Ace Pilot Camilo "Penguin" Portela would provide air superiority and close air support over the region. The transport plane, piloted by Iain "Highlander" Fisher, would hold a capacity of 500 men, but they were commanded to 'lay down side by side like one of them old american slave ships.' Once on the ground, the soldiers would advance outward through Vladivostok.

Battle
The fighters couldn't gain air superiority, and a slight miscalculation lead to the transport craft getting shot by a Russian SAM. It crashed, with 476 casualties attached. The High Council ordered the attack to cease, but the command not only didn't listen but was unable to. Russian troops were advancing towards the crash site, so Alexi commanded his remaining troops to attack. They pierced to the center of the City, and began their advance. It was successful, but the High council regarded it as a failed mission.
