While there are map markers in the simulation, fast travel is not available to any of these locations. The combat apparel worn by the snowmen is much larger than the player character's. A Chinese flamer unit can be seen torching one of the American snowmen. They also have American flags, and one snowman has a Chinese hat on. There are snowmen in some areas with American combat helmets and armor on. According to the loading screen, motion sickness is normal and subsides momentarily. Furthermore, the M42 " Fat Man" miniature nuclear launcher is used by the power-armored units to blow open the gates to the Chinese Compound, despite the launcher not being completed until September 2077, 8 months after the battle had concluded. There is also doubt over the plausibility of Chimeras as shown in the simulation, since no other source material on the Reclamation makes any mention of it. In particular, the Vertibirds were present in the simulation in full operational capacity when in fact they wouldn't even reach the prototype stage until much later. At the very end, the writer questions why running the simulation was necessary anymore, since "any tactical data was mined months ago."
The writer goes on to say that everyone was beginning to think Chase was going insane, but no one confronted him because they feared that the military would take over the project. The second entry dated September 6, 2077, tells of how Chase was making elaborate changes to the simulation which the writer of the entry felt was "divorced from reality," and that he was sure that the real Anchorage Reclamation had never happened the way Chase portrayed it. The entry dated Augdescribes how General Constantine Chase tested the simulation himself, but claimed it didn't "feel right," and that hardware problems were prevalent.
Entries found in a terminal in the Outcast outpost detail the development of the simulation.
