Battle of Kodiak (Prelude)

The Battle of Kodiak was a major military engagement that took place in the Alaskan island of Kodiak during the Great War of 1987.
The battle was fought between the Soviet Union and the combined forces of the United States and Canada.
== Background ==
The battle was initiated by the Soviet Union, which sought to restore Russian control over the island of Kodiak. The Soviet Union deployed a large force of Spetznas, the elite special forces of the Soviet Union, to the island, led by Anton Vardayn, a highly experienced and decorated Spetznas officer.
The battle began February 17th, 1987, as the Soviet forces landed on the northern coast of Kodiak and quickly secured the airport and surrounding areas. The initial landing was met with little resistance, as the local population was caught off guard and the American and Canadian forces were not fully prepared for the sudden invasion.
The Soviet forces then advanced south, securing the main road and several key towns along the way. The American and Canadian forces, despite being outmatched and outgunned, put up a fierce resistance and managed to slow down the Soviet advance.
Despite the heavy resistance, the Soviet forces pushed on and by June 10th, they had reached the southern coast of Kodiak. The American and Canadian forces made a final stand at the city of Kodiak, but were ultimately defeated. The Soviet forces captured the city and secured the entire island.
The Battle of Kodiak was a decisive victory for the Soviet Union, and marked the first step in their efforts to restore Russian control over Alaska.
