The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Targets included industrial facilities in Japan and in Japanese-controlled China and Southeast Asia.
- The B-29s were based in India but staged through bases around Chengdu in China's Sichuan province.
- Since the Japanese had cut the Burma Road in 1942, the only line of communications with China was over "the Hump", as the air ferry route to China over the Himalayas was called.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Operation Matterhorn article was read about 19,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
