Geez, I think I need to do a development journal
We've been playing with the patrol objectives while adding some new patrol zones. Decided to add some additional spec ops missions. While adding the Aleutians as a patrol zone in the campaign, particularly around the time of the IJN air strike, we also built a couple of spec ops missions for Alaska. In short, there is intel suggesting that the Japanese have landed or intend to land commandos in a certain area. YOu have to beat it up there to patrol watching for submarine activity or anything unusual, and land a team of American commandos based on an intel update.
