- "Your priority is to stop the UIR advance within Kashkur. COG forces hold the central plains of the country and the extreme west, but the UIR is widening its corridors between the areas we still hold. The Anvegad Pass is blocked and must remain so if we are to stop the UIR closing the circle and inserting land forces from the east."
- —Col.James Choi, commander of 6th Brigade.[1]
The Anvegad Pass was a canyon pass that held the only road that connected Anvegad to the rest of Kashkur.
History
Siege of Anvil Gate
During the Invasion of Kashkur in the 62nd year of the Pendulum Wars, Indie special forces planted explosives on the canyon walls above Anvegad Pass and detonated them, blocking the pass with tons of rocks and rubble. This cut off Anvegad and the Anvil Gate garrison from the rest of Kashkur, and began the Siege of Anvil Gate.[2]
