Shorepoint Base

Shorepoint is a Resistance base that appears in the chapters Highway 17 and We Don't Go To Ravenholm....

=Location= It is the first of a string of rebel outposts on Highway 17, and it is close to Ravenholm. It is close to New Little Odessa, and seems to have once been a group of warehouses near the coast before the Combine began to drain the ocean. The Combine appear to be aware of its existence, as they have set up a small base near it and were attacking it. This assault failed due to Gordon Freeman's intervention. Also, Alyx and Eli Vance seem to have lived there for some time, as Alyx has travelled the coasts starting at Shorepoint and Eli has mounted a Tau Cannon on a Dune buggy.

Features
Shorepoint has two entrances: One is accessible from trainyards leading out of Ravenholm, and is simply an entrance to what appears to be the main build of Shorepoint. While all of Shorepoint's buildings are warehouses, this appears to be the main one, as it houses both the radio and the hospital. Additionally, the base houses some dune buggies and a crane is used to drop them to the sand, where they may be more mobile. The second entrance, however, requires the crane's assistance in entering, as there is no stairway because that would make it easier for antlions to get in. In order to keep antlions from jumping up into the base, there are two machine guns mounted that resistance members regularly man in order to keep antlions out of the base.

Personnel
The leader of Shorepoint is Leon. The mechanic and crane operator is a woman named Noriko. Also, there is a soldier named Winston who was wounded keeping the Combine Overwatch out of Shorepoint.
