Circum-Pacific War (Op. Doodlebug)
Situated as the last line of defense for the Yuktobanian Army and for the Yuktonbania's Capital Cinigrad. Cruik Fortress was thought to be "unconquerable" by ground attack, becuase it is surrounded by reinforced bunkers. The weakness for the fortress is that it is weak against a joint ground and air strike force. Wardog Squadron was sent in to provide air support for the attacking ground units. Once inside the fortress, there was severe resistance from enemy tanks, mobile anti-aircraft guns and mobile surface-to-air missile launchers. The Yuktobanian Air Force's elite aces were station at the fortress, all were shot down by Wardog. The tide of the mission soon turned to favor the Osean Army Ground units to capture Cruik Fortress and turned it into the Osean Forward Offensive Base to attack Cinigrad. The citizens of Cinigrad, along with the Yuktobanian Army are setting up defensive positions on within the urban areas of the capital city.
