The Imperial Japanese Navy conquered the coral atoll of Wake Island in 1941. The island remained in Japanese control until the end of the war in 1945.
Now, 70 years later, the US Marines have returned to this small island in an attempt to secure the airfield, now occupied by Russian forces.
With air, ground, and sea units prepared for deployment, this small horseshoe-shaped island is once again the site of an intense battle between two superpowers.
Conquest Assault (3 Flags)
Compared to the traditional Wake Island layout, this battle is very compact and the RU team can dig in and consolidate their forces around the three flags.

When playing as the RU team, make sure all three control points are well defended at the start of the battle. However, the bulk of the defending team should spawn at the Airfield (B) and take measures to secure the flag.

The Airfield (B) is the main prize in this fight and is likely to see heavy action throughout the match. However, both teams can still win even without holding the Airfield (B).

So if taking the Airfield (B) proves too costly, focus your efforts on securing the North Base (A) and South Base (B). With only three flags up for grabs, holding these two control points is more than sufficient for draining the opposing team’s ticket count.

So don’t waste resources attempting to take the Airfield (B) if your team already holds two flags. Simply dig in, and outlast your opponents.
