Here's what we know about continent locks:

1. Continental Lock is achieved by capturing all the bases on a continent.
2. The only way to break into a locked continent is via HART drop.
3. You must capture a base on the continent to break the lock.

Now we can make a few inferrences from this:
1. If you want vehicles once you get into a locked continent, you are going to have to hack them.
2. The lock isn't broken when a tower is taken.
3. The lock isn't automatically broken when a base reverts to neutral on attrition.

And now for some things that are still way up in the air:
1. Can you lock a continent that adjoins a sanctuary?
2. Can you capture a depleted enemy base by refueling it, does it stay neutral after refueled, or revert back to its last ownership?
3. If 2 is the first or second option, is the lock released immediately after being hacked over?

Now then, how would you put together a task force to pop a lock. For the purposes of discussion, let's try to use a 30 man platoon or smaller group. Obviously you are going to rely heavily on Maxes and hackers, but what beyond that?
