Strategic Points

## Overview

Strategic Points provide periodic Warbonds (5 min. intervals) for your entire coalition. The more strategic structures your coalition controls the more Warbonds you get per tick. Please note, If you control a strategic location that contains 10 buildings you get Warbonds for each of the 10 buildings at that location. For each building that the enemy destroys your Warbonds per tick will reflect that with a lower amount earned. You also get a significant amount of Warbonds for each enemy strategic building you destroy.

### Strategic Point Color Identification

The zone indicator for each strategic point will be colored in order to easily indicate the type of Strategic Point you are observing on the F10 map.

## How Strategic Points Work

This may be your first time reading about Strategics or maybe you just tried to capture a strategic zone only to fail miserably so you're here trying to recover some of your sanity. Either way, don't fear I'm going to lay this out for you as simply as possible.

The first thing you may need to know is how the zones work.

In the image below you will see 3 refinery's circled in blue called "DEIR REFINERY", each one numbered 1, 2 and 3. We also have 3 oilfields circled in purple called "DEIR OILFIELD" also labeled 1, 2 and 3. Please note that the purple and blue circles and numbers have been added to the image and will not appear this way on the actual map. The reason that all three of the refinery's and oilfields are labeled with the same name is because they are OPTIONS for this particular region of the map. Think of the 3 yellow DEIR OILFIELDS boundaries, for example, as possible construction sites. You have 3 options but you will only build at one of them. You can choose which location you want to build your Strategic at but you can only build at ONE of EACH (1 of the 3 oilfields and 1 of the 3 refinery's for a total of 2 buildable locations). The two remaining DEIR OILFIELD locations that are not built at will remain as a way to confuse the opposing coalition. If you want to destroy the enemies strategic location you first have to find out where it is.

Let's say that you want to build a strategic point at DEIR OILFIELD marked on our map below with a purple #1. First you must make sure that the oilfield is not controlled by anyone and it will appear as a neutral color (not RED or BLUE). If the oilfields are NEUTRAL in color then you can begin the process of building at 1 of the 3 oilfields (In our case we have chosen location #1 marked on the map). The exact steps to constructing a new Strategic are listed below in the "Capturing Strategic Points" section. What you need to know though is that once you have successfully built "DEIR OILFIELD #1" you cannot build at the other DEIR OILFIELDS.

## Capturing Strategic Points

### Preparing for Strategic Build.

Before you can use a "Strategic Build Crate" to build a Strategic Point you must first make sure that all of the previous owners structures are gone. The square in the zone should turn from a BLUE or RED color to a no colors indicated. You may also want to check to see if there are any remaining enemy forces in the area.

### Strategic Build Steps

1. If at a MOB land within 2km of a hardened shelter. If at a FOB or NON-Airfield MOB land on a FARP pad.
2. Choose LOAD INTERNAL crate from F10 RADIO menu.
3. Select "Strategic build crate" from the menu options.
4. TRANSPORT INTERNAL crate to WITHIN the yellow boundary of a NEUTRAL Strategic Point.
5. UNPACK INTERNAL CARGO from RADIO F10 menu. NOTE: You are not required to land at this point.
6. Once the crate has unpacked you should see a construction type vehicle in the area designating that construction will begin.
7. You must now provide 2 MORE build crates to the area in order to complete the constructions process.
8. You must now land at the construction site and remain perfectly still in order to unpack the final two construction crates.
9. You should now have a new Strategic for your team.

### Repairing Strategics

Strategic points cannot be repaired directly but you can build a new one in another zone and that will de-spawn the old one. For example, if we built at DEIR OILFIELD #1 as shown on the map above, we could start the build process in DEIR OILFIELD #2 or #3 and it will remove the damaged oilfield and put a fresh one in the new area.
