Operation: Anchorage

Operation: Anchorage will be the first Fallout 3 downloadable content pack, to be released in January 2009 for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live. It will cost 800 Microsoft points.

Story
In this DLC pack, you will enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. The simulation is set between June 2076 (when the T-51b Power Armor was first introduced) and January 2077 (when Alaska was completely reclaimed from the Chinese).

The simulation may be similar to the simulation you enter during the Tranquility Lane quest, which would allow you to use your character, though you'll be forced to utilize the simulations equipment and weapons. The second picture here shows a soldier with a Gauss rifle, and it looks like he may have a Pip-Boy on his wrist. It could possibly be part of a glove, the players model (including the Pip-Boy) might be loaded into the simulation. There is also a possibility that Pip-Boys were U.S. Army issued. This is doubted since the American General (who may not even have a left arm), mechanics and the soldier in the T-51b power armor are not wearing a pip-boy.

It should be noted that the American General's outfit looks similar to Colonel Autumn's, except it's a different color and has 4 stars on the shoulder, implying it's the traditional officer's suit of the US.
