Anchorage Reclamation simulation

The  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.

Appearances
The appears only in Fallout 3's Operation: Anchorage add-on.

Inconsistencies
The simulation has some inconsistencies in established Fallout canon due to General Constantine Chase's delusions. There is a terminal in the Outcast Outpost that describes the shortcomings in the simulation as not matching "reality". 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 any other source material on the Reclamation makes no mention of it.

Anchorage Cliffs
The Anchorage Cliffs are the starting point of the simulation where you first meet Sergeant Benjamin Montgomery and the general outside area during The Guns of Anchorage.

Cave Outpost
In the Cave Outpost you first come across a Scoped Gauss Rifle and re-unite with Montgomery.

Chinese Artillery Outpost
Containing the exit to the Artillery Overlook, this former American base is now occupied by the Chinese.

Artillery Overlook
The Artillery Overlook is filled with three gigantic artillery guns bombarding your fellow American soldiers in the far-away Anchorage.

U.S. Army Field Headquarters
The U.S. Army Field Headquarters is the American base of operation for Operation: Anchorage and the place where you are briefed and equipped for the remaining missions in the simulation.

Ice Camp
The Chinese Ice Camp is a small encampment on the way to the Chimera Depot, rather close to the American camp.

Chimera Depot
The Chimera Depot is a Chinese installation in which Chimeras are repaired and refueled.

Mining Town
An area of abandoned mines and houses which has to be passed on the way to the Listening Post.

Listening Post
The Chinese Listening Post is a Chinese base used for intelligence purposes and troop coordination.

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

Pulse Field
The Pulse Field is the main defensive barrier of the Chinese Army, barring American Power Armor units from entering their headquarters.

Chinese Compound
A refinery poses as the main Chinese stronghold in the simulation.

Trivia
A small reference is also made to the Anchorage Reclamation sim 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 shot up by many Chinese Commandos.

Before entering the simulation, the player character can say, "Let me guess... more psycotic little girls?"

The consistency of the american weapons and armor is also an issue, In two of the American propaganda posters of a soldier helping uncle sam and, one standing over a pile of chinese soldiers holding a flag visible during loading screens shows American soldiers wearing T-45d model armor, but during the simulation they are wearing T-51b armor. Also during the Halloween poster the American soldier costume shows the boy holding an energy weapon, but in the simulation they use almost all types of weapons except energy weapons.
