City Thirty

City Thirty, or previously Washington DC of the USA, was a centerground for very heavy conflict on the American front of the 7 hour war. Given was the capital at the time, it was one of the last areas to remain resistant once surrender was announced.

With the United States losing a large credibility of its territory to alien advancement, Canada had no chance to defend itself. Assaulted from nearly all sides, the United States mounted a last desperate attempt to break out of the stranglehold. Codenamed ‘Operation Patriot Fist’, the United States was to secure Washington DC and relieve the Pentagon, after receiving vital intelligence that one of the main alien leaders, an “advisor”, was to be present in leading the assault on the city.

With a large contingent of the National Guard defending the Pentagon, they were beginning to lose ground. As such, the 1st and 4th Battalions along with the 12th Aviation battalion with assistance from remnants of the 2nd Armoured Division, was to ensure that the operation goes as planned. With the National Guard already caught in tough battle against the Advisor’s personal Eviscerator's Legion, it was going to be a very tough fight. Utilizing Electromagnetic-Pulse bombs, the United States had a very brief chance as the shielding on the Union’s much larger war machines were disabled, with much of their control nodes being disabled for the time being.

The heavy combat resulted in massive destruction to almost all areas of the city, and though it is still a significant area of Combine influence, most of the monuments and important locations remain desolate in appearance and heavily damaged.

The Combine appear to have taken an almost sadistic level of pride in the capture of this location, and hang their familiar clamp banners from every monument the city contains as a reminder of their victory to its residents.
