Anchorage shore-line in panorama. That's a lot of shoreline. And no, the table is not curved, just one of the odd effects of a panoramic shot of a close object.
Turn 1 Movement
Sergeant Jim Schwartz spent the night of his assigned patrol at a local pub, where he awoke the next morning (January 15th, 2779) bereft of his dignity and wallet. As he returned to the base at Anchorage, he encountered this scene, and he immediately reversed course and headed back to his favorite pub. He was discovered at a local hospital being treated for alcohol poisoning 2 days later by victorious SLDF forces when they came to investigate reports of a deserted pristine Locust parked in a suburb. This gun-cam footage was used during his trial to prove that he had (however briefly) been at the Battle of Anchorage. Although he avoided incarceration, he was stripped of his mech, and spent his remaining days drinking himself to a slow death. Before his demise, he was known for frequently waking up from his alcohol-induced sleep to scream "It's all shaking, the whole planet is SHAKING!!"
Failed bombing run
While Operation ANCHORHEAD was reported to be a battle exclusively of ground units, one RWR pilot recounted the tale of Corporal Dick "Speedy" Gonzalez, his wingman, who he was unable to convince to leave this area well enough alone. Tetrarch Mason "Deadeye" Coleman reported that Speedy defied orders and flew his bomb-laden Vulcan towards the SLDF landing zone with a comment that "God lined 'em up, and I'm gonna knock 'em down!"
As Tet. Mason watched helplessly, Speedy's approach did not go unnoticed by the SLDF companies nearest the attack-run and their forces lit up the sky with so much ordinance that Speedy's Vulcan was effectively vaporized before ever getting into range of his bombs. Due to the sheer amount of devastation in this battle, it was weeks before an SLDF mechwarrior was found to corroborate this story.
