tires will fall victim to this easily. All it takes is one popped tire, andthe vehicle is permanently immobile.

III) Weapons equipped when entering vehicles and mounted guns.

- When you enter a vehicle, your men will drop any weapon they had in theirhands when they entered the vehicle. On a few missions, this will completely

screw you over. Always make sure you unequip the unit's weapon before yousend it into a vehicle. Mounted guns are slightly different. Sometimes yourmen will drop the weapon they had in their hands, and sometimes they won't.Always make sure you have your weapon after you abandon the gun, or you mightrealize you're defenseless when it's too late.

VI) Helmets and body armor.

- Body armor is a huge help for your soldiers. If you find some, make sureyou take it and equip it. Helmets are also a very important piece ofequipment. If your helmet gets blown off, make sure you replace it immediatelywith a helmet from a downed German soldier (sometimes you can pick the same

helmet back up, too).

V) Double clicking items in your inventory.

- When you're examining another inventory, double clicking an item from yourinventory will move it to the other inventory, and double clicking on an itemin the other inventory will move it to yours. Double clicking on an item thathas a lot more than can fit in one spot in your inventory will fill all of youravailable slots with that item (unless there isn't enough of the item to that).This is helpful for quickly moving items in your inventory.

If you only have a single units inventory open, double clicking on ammo willreload your gun.

VI) Shutdown glitch.

Double clicking on ammo in your inventory will reload your gun. Unfortunately,there's a glitch that will sometimes cause an error message to come up, and itwill force you to completely exit the game. It seems to be more common whenyou reload a heavier machine gun, but that could just be a coincidence. As ofright now, I am not aware of any way to correct this problem. The best way toavoid it is to reload using the ammo clip icon to the right of your weapons onthe main screen.

VII) Saving at the start of each mission.

I suggest you save immediately after the introduction to each mission. It canget extremely annoying to have to watch that same damn scene over and overagain if you have trouble on a mission.

VIII) The Map.

It starts off at a tilt, but there isn't an easy way to tell which way isnorth. Usually, I would tell people to immediately change their angle so thatnorth is up on the screen. This time though, I recommend you keep it at thedefault position. All directions in this guide assume that you have.

IX) Never leave your men armed with grenades if you're not going to be

Directly Controlling them.

Seriously, your AI is unreasonably stupid. If you leave a grenade in the hands


4/59

of a soldier, and you let go of the Direct Control, he will use it at the nextavailable target, regardless of how close he (or an ally) might be to thattarget. It's a quick way to get yourself killed, or waste a grenade that youmight have needed later.

X) Equipping things from your inventory.

To equip helmets, body armor, or weapons from your inventory, simply click anddrag the item from your inventory to the appropriate location on your unit'spicture. Unequip things by reversing that process.

===============================================================================--------------------------- 0.10) IMPORTANT CONTROLS ---------------------------

===============================================================================

For the most part, if you go through the training and if you've played at leastone other RTS game before, you should have no problems with the controls.

I) Direct Control.

There are two ways to enter the "Direct Control" feature. The first is bypressing the End key to turn the feature on, and then pressing it again to turnit off. The other way (which is the way I ALWAYS recommend you do it) is byholding down the Control key for the duration of the time you want to stay inDirect Control mode.

Direct control is useful for making very quick, precise attacks. Units are alot more accurate in Direct Control, and you can pick your targets much easier.

Direct Control is also extremely useful for driving vehicles into tight spots,or escaping quickly from heated battles.

II) Hold Fire, Return Fire, and Fire At Will.

You can set a unit to any one of these three basic commands when the unit isnot being Directly Controlled. To set these, simply click on one of thecorresponding icons on the left side of the top row of your command bar whenyou have at least one unit selected.

Hold Fire means that the unit will absolutely not fire at anything, no matterwhat, until you tell it to. This is almost always the safest way to go,simply because your units are not exactly smart, and can easily get themselveskilled for stupid reasons if they fire at something you didn't want them tofire at, or if they throw a grenade while standing in front of a wall oranother one of your units.

Return Fire means that your unit will fire back if it is fired upon. This isfairly safe, but you won't want to use it a lot of the times. Your units tendto waste their ammo shooting at things they can't hit, or they return fire withgrenades and kill themselves or your other units.

Fire At Will means the unit will fire at anything that gets too close. This israrely a good idea for several of the reasons listed above. The only time Irecommend using this is when you need to slaughter a lot of troops at one time.

You can set one or more men to Fire At Will, and then take Direct Control ofanother unit.


5/59

III) Hotkeys.

Several actions have keys assigned to them so you can perform them quicklywithout using your mouse. I'll list the most important ones here, in noparticular order. Note that most of these features can also be opened withvarious icons on your display.

E) Exits a vehicle/gun. Depending on what you're exiting, you'll be given acursor, and you must then click on where you want your unit(s) to exit to.

+) Reloads your current weapon. This is one of the more valuable hotkeys.

M) Opens your map.

O) Opens the mission objectives list.

F) This puts your unit in the Melee attack mode when applicable. You can usea troop to run up to an enemy troop and smack them, causing the enemy to falldown for a while. Note that this DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE THE UNIT STAY DOWN.

They will sometimes get back up when you least expect it.

X) This examines the target. Use this to have a soldier check a vehicle'sinventory or check the contents of some crates. Very useful.

D) Drops the item you have in your hand. This is used a lot when you'recarrying barrels or bundles of wood.

I) This will open the selected unit's inventory.

Space) This will make a selected soldier go into the Prone position, which isuseful when you need to sneak around or take cover quickly.

U) This will allow you to use some items that you have in your hand. Forexample, matches, barrels of fuel, and dynamite all require this feature.

1.00) KATYUSHA (USSR)

------------------------------==============================================================================================================================================================

------------------------- 1.01) CHEPEL -------------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Destroy the German defensive guns.

- There are four of them. Two on the southern edge of the town, and two more

a little to the west, in some trees on a small hill.

2) Eliminate all traces of the enemy.


6/59


7/59

take your guys out of the Panzer II to use them in the Panzer IV, since it is abigger tank.

Take your tanks south-west now, and destroy anything that you see. It shouldbe pretty simple. Remember to destroy the two defensive guns in the trees tothe south. If you're having trouble seeing them, remember that you can see amap of the area by clicking on the little thing at the right of your screen.

All of the red dots are enemies. Eliminate them all, and you will completethis mission.

NOTE: There is a mine field to the west of your starting position. While itis possible to get a mine detector from the SDK in the small western base toclear out the field, it's a huge pain in the ass to do. If you want, feel freeto try it yourself. Careful though: a single mine will completely demolishany vehicle, and kill any men you had in and on it.

===============================================================================------------------------

1.02) MONASTERY ------------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Reach the paratroopers and help them defeat the Germans.

- This is slightly misleading. You have to get to the paratroopers, make sureone of them survives, and then escape to the other side of the river with at

least one of your tank men alive.

------UNITS:------

2 Crewmen (Ivan Prokhorov and Taras Kurennoy)

(1 Paratrooper once you get to him) [Ilya Leson]

NOTE: You will lose the mission if the paratrooper gets killed, and you willalso lose if both of your crewmen get killed. You will retain all survivingunits from this mission into the next mission, so if any of your men die, youmight want to start over.

--------------THINGS TO GET:--------------

The body armor off of the two downed paratroopers near the south-east entranceto the Monastery. Also, the antitank grenade from one of the soldiers in thesecond wave after destroying the tank.

------------WALKTHROUGH:

------------

Start by running north and slightly west to the small chapel. One of your guys


8/59

has a Molotov, so select him and put the Molotov in his hand. Step out frombehind the chapel and chuck the Molotov on the tank that's over there. But BECAREFUL. If you don't step out far enough, you will hit the building with it,and the fire will kill you. And if you miss the tank, you're pretty muchscrewed. So make sure you don't mess up.

Once the tank and its occupants are taken care of, run north-west to the small

entrance into the main Monastery. There are two fallen paratroopers here: Oneon the east side of the entrance, and another one slightly south-east of thereagainst a wall. There is a good weapon on the ground next to each of them, soscroll around until you get the grabby hand icon to pick them up. Then inspectone of the paratroopers with each of the crewmen, and take any bullets andequipment they have. Don't forget to take their body armor, either.

Prepare to defend your position against about ten or twelve enemy soldiers thatwill come in from the south and east (they come in two groups, so don't letyour guard down after you kill the first wave). Once they are all dead, goinspect them to pick up any bullets and grenades they may have had. If eitherof your men lost their helmet in the fight, replace it with one from these

guys. One of the Germans in the second wave should have an M24x5 antitankgrenade in his inventory. This will be useful later on, so make sure you pickit up.

(Now is a good time to save if you want to.)

The next target is the circular fountain in the center of the main Monastery.There are five guards in it: One in the north-east, one in the south-west, andthree in the north-west, one of which is using a mounted machine gun. Thereare also three more German soldiers guarding the north-east exit to theMonastery. Make sure one of your men has a full clip of ammo loaded, and put anormal grenade in the other soldier's hand.

Run the soldier with the machine gun north to deal with the three guards nearthe exit and the north-eastern guy in the fountain area. Have the dude withthe grenade toss it up towards the three men near the mounted machine gun.Immediately get his weapon out and deal with any survivors. Now you shouldhave some time to pick up some ammo and equipment, and replace your helmets ifthey're gone.

Once you've stocked up on equipment, approach the paratroopers. A small scenewill occur, and then you will have control of one of the paratroopers (theother one goes on a suicidal rush towards the Germans, and you can't save him).Earlier in the mission, an SDK should have busted a hole in the wall to thenorth-west of your position. If so, exit that way. If not, you'll have to usethe north-east exit that you cleared out earlier.

Work your way north-east towards the river. There is a machine gun vehicle upthere, but you should be able to pick off the men in it with Direct Control ofone of your soldiers. Then proceed due east. You must get your men to the bigsand bank on the other side of the river to complete the mission. It shouldn'tbe hard to do. Just tell them to go there, and they should jump in the waterand swim there by themselves.

===============================================================================------------------------ 1.03) LAST RIDE

------------------------

===============================================================================


9/59

------GOALS:------

1) Get to Dudkov's cottage and meet with him.

- All you have to do to achieve this goal is get near his cabin. Once you do,a short scene will occur, and then a timer will start.

------UNITS:------

Any survivors from your last mission will be available for this mission, andthey will keep all of the equipment they had in their inventories.


------------

Immediately send your men north to the barn, and have one of them ready with amachine gun. Step out and kill the German patrolman when he gets close. Makesure your other men are properly armed, and then move east to through the gapin the next fence, and position your men west of the next house. Let them dealwith any Germans that come by. Look east a little, and you'll see a machinegun vehicle. Don't let it attack you, or it'll kill you quickly. Instead, runone soldier south to the next house, and leave the other two where they are.See the barrel next to the machine gun vehicle? Move your third guy out frombehind the southern house, and use Direct Control to shoot the barrel. Theresulting explosion will take care of the vehicle.

Have your men clear out any remaining German soldiers, but don't cross the roadto the north yet. Take your time to gather up some equipment and helmets ifnecessary. Then get out on the road and head east. See a brown tower and aroad barricade up there? The house to the left of that is Dudkov's (there's ascarecrow in his field). Slaughter anything nearby, but don't go inside thefenced area of his house yet.

(Now is a good time to save if you want.)

Once the area is clear, approach his house. A short scene will occur, and thena timer will start. Run south to the road, and then run straight down it tothe west. You're headed for the fenced-in base area where the train car theyshowed you earlier is. There is a large tree on the southern edge, and there'sa gap in the fence behind it.

Take your men through this gap, and clear the place out. Have them take coveragainst the eastern wall of the thin warehouse building directly below thetrain. They should be able to deal with anything from there. If a vehiclecomes by, make sure you take Direct Control of one of your men and take out themen in the vehicle as fast as you can.

When the timer reaches about 45 seconds, open one of your soldier's inventory.You need to make room for his weapon, because he will lose it if you order himon the train while he has it out. Toss ammo or small grenades, but hold on toantitank grenades, bandages, and any heavy machine gun ammo you might have.

Once he's been properly unequipped, send him to the train car. Then do thesame procedure to the other men. If you are slow and run out of time, don'tbe too worried about it. As long as one or two of your men make it with their


10/59

weapons intact, you should be fine. But all three is better.

NOTE: Dudkov will approach the train from the east when the counter gets closeto running out. DON'T panic and shoot him, or you'll lose. I thought he was aGerman the first time, so... yeah.

When the timer runs out and you've got your men on the train, the mission will

be over.

===============================================================================---------------------- 1.04) THEFT ----------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:

------

1) Capture the single steam engine and attach it to the Katyusha.

- At the far north of the map, there is a train engine with no cars attached.You'll need to capture this to finish the mission.

2) Eliminate all defending Germans.

- This is self-explanatory goal. Plus, you'll want to eliminate them anywayto make the rest of the mission a little safer.

------

UNITS:------

Any units that survived the previous mission will be available in this mission,and so will any equipment they had in their inventories.

--------------THINGS TO GET:--------------

The two antitank mines from the chest on the ground above the two westernwarehouse buildings. Also remember to get the sniper rifle from the chest inthe southern warehouse building to the east, as well as any rifle ammo you canfind anywhere on the map.

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Start by running north to the wood pile, and have everyone take cover on thesouth side of it. Make sure the guy on the left has a clip of ammo in his gun,because he's going to have to deal with a German patrol unit soon. Wait forthe guard to walk past, and then gun him down.

Run your men to the small spot between the train cars to your left. Leave two

of them there, and take the third one north carefully (also make sure he has asmall grenade in his inventory). Send him north to the next wood pile. Goprone, and crawl to your left a little, and then up to the smaller wood pile.


11/59

Toss the grenade at the dude manning the mounted machine gun. Once he's takencare of, get your weapon back out, and hose the two men that will come out ofthe building by the mounted gun.

Once they're dealt with, run to the gun and man it. Let this guy gun down anyand everything that comes near him. Make sure you check out the area directlynorth of the two warehouse buildings to your east. There's a guy with a rifle

there that will injure you badly if you don't take him out. Now go back toyour other men, and send them north to stand slightly below and to the west ofyour machine gunner. You can pick up anything you might need from the soldiersthat are on the ground nearby. Once things calm down, send your men east tothe two buildings there. Leave the machine gunner where he is.

Hoards of German infantry are on the other side of the two warehouses. Some ofthem will approach on motorbikes, but the majority will be on foot. Irecommend waiting for them to walk in front of you. There's a mounted machinegun a little farther to the east, a guard tower to the south, and a light tankthat will approach from the south at some point. Wait on the western side ofthe warehouses until that vehicle arrives. (This could take a few minutes.)

Pick one of your soldiers that has an antitank grenade, and make sure his gunis fully loaded. Take him north to the end of the second warehouse. Themachine gun vehicle and the mounted machine gun are both to your right. Run upand to the right, and take shelter on the west side of the northern wall of thesmall building there. Gun down any infantry that you can see, and any thatapproach your position.

Once the infantry have been dealt with, get a small grenade out. Walk to theeast a little, and toss the grenade at the mounted machine gun to take care ofthat guy. Then go back west, and take shelter on the west wall of the samesmall building. Pull out that antitank grenade, and peek around the cornerreally fast to toss it on the light tank. If you hit it, it will be completely

destroyed.


Head east to the next pair of warehouse buildings. Go quickly, or you willattract the attention of the guard in the tower to the south. Check anysoldiers here for equipment, and go inside the southern building. Inside youwill find a crate in the northern section. Open it, and switch your currentweapon for the sniper rifle inside. Take the bullets in the crate. There isanother crate on the west side of the other building. Take the ammo out of it,but you really don't need the rifle. Take any antitank grenades you find, too.If necessary, toss regular grenades to make room.

Use your newly acquired sniper rifle to pick off the man in the guard tower andthe man inside the bushes a little north of the guard tower. Move south, andmake sure there are no infantry units alive in the buildings down there. Tossa grenade over the wall at the mounted machine gun to the far south. Checkyour map to make sure there aren't any survivors down there.

Now head north again. Snipe the dude in the guard tower from a safe distance.Bring your other men up next to your sniper to protect him in case he getsrushed. Hug the wall on he east side of the depot. The house on the rightabove the two warehouse buildings has enemy soldiers in it. See the trucknorth-east of it? Chuck a grenade at it, and the resulting explosion shoulddestroy it and the house along with all of the soldiers nearby.

Proceed to the south side of the small house to the left of the one you justdestroyed. Deal with anything that approaches you, and try to save your sniper


12/59

bullets. When you've cleared the area, get a grenade in one of your soldier'shand, and head around the right side of the house to position yourself belowthe pile of stuff above it. From there, chuck a grenade or two at the mountedmachine gun.

When those guys are dealt with, head west and deal with any dots you can see onyour map. If there are any stragglers left to the south, go hunt them down as

well. When every enemy on the map has been defeated, you'll get a notificationthat tells you so. Now there're just a few things left to do. First, headto the first set of warehouse buildings to the right of the first mountedmachine gun from earlier in the level. Scroll around the pile of boxes abovethem. One of them is an item crate. Inside, you'll find (among other things)two antitank mines. These will save you a ton of trouble in the next mission,so take them. The repair kit is tempting, but it's not necessary. There is amed kit and two things of dynamite in a crate inside the house I had you blowup with that truck in the north-east too, but I haven't found a use for them,so don't bother getting them unless you really want to for some reason.

OK, now get your three guys together near the train engine in the north. It's

time to adjust your inventory again. Make sure everyone's weapon is unequippedand stuck in their inventory so they won't lose it. Give any rifle/sniper ammoyou have to the soldier with the sniper rifle. Make sure everyone has plentyof ammo and a helmet.

(Now is a VERY good time to save if you want to. The tiniest mistake whiledriving this engine could make you have to start over.)

Now stick one guy in the engine. Head south along the track. Go a little pastthe first bend, and then stop. Have one of your men pull the switch near thebend on the left of the track. Now back the engine towards the Katyusha. Whenyou touch it, it will automatically attach to the engine. Drive south all theway down to the end of the screen now. Run your guy down there to flip the

switch on the right side of the track just north of where you are.

Back up all the way until you're inside the station again. DON'T HIT THE WALLWITH THE TRAIN. If you hit it too hard, it'll knock the Katyusha car loose,and you won't be able to get it reattached. Also, if you're unsure aboutwhether a switch needs to be thrown, approach the area very slowly with theengine. If you try to go too fast down a track that leads to an incorrectlyswitched piece of rail, the engine will jam, and you will fail.

Have a soldier flip the switch to the right of the track just south of yourcurrent position. Then head south. You'll have to flip the switch to theright of the crate pile south of your position too. Farther down the track onthe right side, you'll have to flip both of the switches near the smallcrossing spot in the track. Then approach the door to the depot, and it willopen for you.

===============================================================================-------------------------- 1.05) PRISHIB STATION --------------------------

===============================================================================

------

GOALS:------


13/59

1) Destroy Katyusha.

- This will be the last thing you do in this mission. Simply toss a grenadeat it.

2) Ensure all armored targets are destroyed.

- This is pretty easy once you get Katyusha into the correct spot. You canblast everything in the northern base from your spot inside the southern base.

3) Move Katyusha into a suitable firing position.

- You can see the spot by opening your objectives list and clicking on the"eye"con next to it. Dunno why, but I find that eyecon joke waaaaay too funny.

4) Eliminate nearby guards.

- This is referring to the guards in the southern base. Clear them all out toaccomplish this part. You'll want to do this first, then part three, then two,

and part one last.

------UNITS:------

Anything that survived the last mission will be available in this mission,including equipment that you had in your inventory. I hope you grabbed thoseantitank mines I mentioned in the previous mission...

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Start by sending your sniper to the right, all the way to the edge of thescreen. Move north, until you have a good shot at the two men near the mountedmachine gun. Snipe them both, and then dash to the gun and man it. Let thisguy deal with anything that he can see.

Meanwhile, make sure your other guys have their weapons out and loaded. Headnorth and then west around the train. Take out the two soldiers there,including the one standing near the truck farther to the west. Then head northinto the little village. There are two guards that patrol across the top ofthe village, so have your guys hose them when they get in range.

Now send everyone (including the dude in the mounted machine gun) south to yourtrain again. Find the one that had the antitank mines in his inventory. Youwant to place the antitank mines on the EASTERN set of train tracks. Put oneabout even with the front of your train, and put the other one a little fartersouth, about at the middle of your train. An enemy train will come by thosetracks later, and the guards that come out of it are a pain in the ass to dealwith. Especially since they will steal your train.


Proceed to the west, towards the southern base. Don't get too close yet, sincethere's a guard tower there. Use your sniper to take out the guy in the towerand anyone you can pick off on the ground. Hopefully, one of the soldiers will

open the gates for you. Use your other two soldiers to gun all of the infantrydown, and try to conserve your sniper ammo. Once things have calmed down, geta little closer to the entrance of the base.


14/59

If there's nothing in your way, go ahead and enter the base with all three men.Run south and take cover on the eastern walls of the white warehouse buildings.Shoot any Germans that come by. Take one of your machine gun guys south and tothe west to get inside the warehouse building. There is a guy in thenorth-east corner of it, so take care of him. Now select your sniper. Go backa little to the north where the guard tower is. From there, you should be able

to snipe the guy in the far south-western guard tower, so do so immediately.

Send him back down to the other soldiers. Move all three of them all the wayto the south, and move west along the southern edge of the last building. Getone of your men positioned on the eastern side of the smaller building, andhave him toss a grenade or two over the building at the two men near the woodpiles. Don't get too grenade-happy on this level though. Those train cars arefilled with rockets, and most of the base will explode if you blow them up.

Once the wood pile guys are dealt with, head west to the edge of the base. Usethe sniper to snipe the dude north of your position (behind some barrels), andalso snipe the guy in the guard tower. Use a machine gun man to take out the

German hiding in the house west of those barrels. Now simply use your machinegun men to clear out the rest of the base. The only thing you need to becareful about is the mounted machine gun at the northern entrance to the base.Toss a grenade over there to deal with him. Check your map to hunt down anysurvivors if necessary. Once everyone in the base is dead, you will accomplishthe first of the four objectives (which is actually number four...).

(Now is a VERY good time to save if you want to. The tiniest mistake whiledriving this engine could make you have to start over.)

Leave one of your men in the north-east corner of the base. Take the other twoback to your train. The enemy train next to yours should be empty of troops,but definitely make sure. Send one of your men north to the first switch in

the track and flip it. Then send him back to the top of the southern basewhere your other guy is. Now jump in the train with the third guy, and drivestraight forward until you approach the southern base from the north. DON'Tdrive into the base too fast. If you hit the stop too hard, you'll causeyourself a lot of trouble. Once the train is in, you accomplish another goal.

Stick two of your men inside the Katyusha, and leave the third armed with amachine gun in the north-east of the base. If you have any antitank grenades,make sure this guy has them, just in case. Now take direct control of theKatyusha and lob rockets at all of the tanks in the northern base. make sureyou target the ones on the train cars as well as the ones in the circle fartherto the north-east. Once you've gotten them all, you should get a message thatsays the goal is complete.

Now all you have to do is destroy the Katyusha. Make sure at least one of yourmen is far, FAR to the east of the Katyusha, and then have one of your othermen toss a grenade at it. The whole place will blow. Congratulations, you'vefinished the Soviet missions.

2.00) PROJECT AMERICA (BRITAIN)

----------------------------------------

==============================================================================================================================================================

-------------------------


15/59

2.01) LIGHTHOUSE -------------------------

===============================================================================

------

GOALS:------

1) Enable the safe landing of the commandos on the shore.

- This will be complete as soon as you destroy the searchlights and move thetwo Commandos up from the shore a little.

2) Scupper the patrol boat.

- Once you gain control of the torpedo boat, this is complete.

3) Destroy the lighthouse and the artillery.

- Use the south-eastern artillery gun to destroy the lighthouse and the secondartillery gun to the north. Then use the dynamite conveniently located nearthe south-east artillery gun to destroy it.

4) Escape via the meet up point.

- Once all other objectives are complete, you just have to get to the house inthe north to finish the mission. All surviving troops will be available forthe next mission, and they will have the same equipment that you have on themwhen you finish this mission.

5) Take out the search lights.

- Even though this is listed last, it will not be the last thing you do.There is one light to the west of the lighthouse. You can just shoot this onewith your infantry unit before getting in the torpedo boat. The second one ison a platform floating in the water to the east. Use a torpedo from the boatto disable that one. (You might need to shoot it too, once you get on theland.)

------UNITS:------

1 Soldier (David Mainsfield)

2 Commandos (Howard Hinds and Robert McDouglas)

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Immediately swim west to the other side of the rocks. Swim north along theedge of the rocks, so the search light won't catch you. Farther north, youwill see a small beach area where you can swim ashore. Go all the way upthere, but stay behind the rock just barely south-west of the shore. Wait for

the German soldier to walk up and take a look in your direction. Since thatpart takes more than two minutes, and the next part can be tricky:


16/59


Wait for the guard to turn around, and then swim onto the shore as fast as youcan. Take out a knife and chuck it at the dude to the north. Run up there andtake all of his equipment, including his helmet. Then run to the north side ofthe tent and go prone. Pull out your second knife, and wait for that patrolguy to wander by again. Wait until he looks out at the shore, and then stand

up, run towards him a little, and chuck the knife at him. Take all of hisequipment (except his gun, you don't need two).

If you have your sound turned up, you probably just got scared pretty bad. Ifnot, you will shortly. The guards will scream "ALARM" when they see you, andthere's almost no way to avoid being seen. Run east and get up against thenorth side of the lighthouse. Get your machine gun ready if it's not already,and gun down the Germans that attack you. Sneak around to the east side of thelighthouse, and head south. Wait for the mounted gun to look away from you,and then step out from around the lighthouse to chuck a grenade at the gun.

If there's anyone on the boat (there shouldn't be), you will have to take them

out with machine gun fire. If not, just take care of the guy manning thesearch light, and then destroy the searchlight. The next part can be hard, so:


Jump in the patrol boat, and you will accomplish one of the goals. Make sureyou get in the middle of it, and not in one of the two guns. Take DirectControl of it, and drive south-west, then turn so you are facing east, wherethe floating platform is. Launch your torpedoes at the platform. Now drivethe boat up next to the beach. Exit the boat, and then get back on it, onlyget in the front gun this time. Blast anything you can see on the beach. Whenyou're ready, get out of the boat again, and swim ashore. Shoot the othersearch light that was on the platform, and you will accomplish another goal.

Proceed up the beach and kill anything you can. Don't step out in front of themachine gun nests, or they will kill you almost instantly. Eventually, someCommandos will land on a small craft at the beach. Move them onto the beach toaccomplish another objective. Search some nearby bodies to collect someequipment for them (including helmets).

There are a lot of bunkers, sand bag areas, and guard towers to deal with.Luckily, one of the Commandos has a nice sniper rifle. Use him, and give anyammo your original soldier has to this sniper Commando. The bunker in thenorth-west should already be empty, so start by using the sniper to take careof the first sand bag gun in the north. Then take care of the second sand baggun in the north-east. Now run up to the north side of the second big rock inthe middle of the beach, and snipe the guard tower to the north-east.

Bring a machine gun man north into the gap that leads into the bunker network.Have him head east through that area, and kill the guy he encounters. Thenhave him enter the first bunker he comes to, and kill the guy in there. Nowexit the bunker, and jump over the sand bags to the north-west to rejoin yourgroup. Move the sniper east to the front of the bunker you just cleared out.Carefully take care of the dude manning the gun in the sand bags farther east,and then have him snipe the next guard tower to the south-east.

Take all three of your men south to the last big concrete bunker. Take the guywith the heavy machine gun over the sand bags. There shouldn't be anyone in

the bunker itself. Instead, head south-east, where there is a guy hidingbehind some boxes. Kill him, and then crouch in the south-east corner of thearea. An SDK is going to drive up to you in a few seconds, and you want to


17/59

have a grenade ready to throw at it. If you're lucky, you can kill most of theoccupants before they ever even get out of the vehicle. Once you throw thegrenade, run south into the tunnel area to take shelter, and turn north to gundown any survivors from the SDK.

Make your way south-west. Below the camo-netting, there is a box. Examine itand take the dynamite from it. Proceed westward to the defensive cannon, and

kill anyone you encounter along the way, including the guy manning the cannon.There is a crate a little to the east of the gun with some shells in it. Youwill need at least two shells, so hand-carry two of them to the gun. Then getin it. Use one shell to level the lighthouse, and use the other to level thesecond defensive cannon on the other side of the beach from the one you're in.

Exit the gun, and use the dynamite to destroy it. Now run back to your othersoldiers. Go back to the gap in the north side of the bunker network. Use thesniper to snipe the men out of the two guard towers to the north, and snipe thepeople in the machine gun vehicle in the open area ahead. If it drives towardsyou, get back inside the tunnel area, and toss grenades at it until it'sdisabled. Once you're sure it's safe, run out to the north and head for the

house where the meeting point is.

===============================================================================------------------------- 2.02) RENDEZVOUS -------------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Establish contact with the French resistance agent at the rendezvouslocation.

- All you have to do is kill every enemy unit near the houses east of themounted gun to accomplish this. You don't even need to go near the houses ifyou don't want to.

2) Head for the Commandant's office.

- You have to cross the bridge to the far west, take out all of the guards(including several inside the buildings), and then approach Odetta toaccomplish this goal.

3) Rescue Odetta Viar and ensure her safety.

- Once you have control of Odetta, you've finished this goal. She must remainalive to finish the mission.

4) Destroy the defended bridge.

- The bridge to the east must be destroyed. The Nebelwerfer makes this easy.

5) Locate a boat and escape.

- The boat is just slightly east of the bridge on the far west of the map.Stick your guys in there, and then float through the river, through thedestroyed bridge, and to the east edge of the map to finish the mission.


18/59

------UNITS:------

Anything that survived the last mission will be available in this mission,including equipment that you had in your inventory.

Odetta Viar will also become available during this mission. She can do thesame stuff your other soldiers can do. And when you open her inventory, youwill discover a very humorous oversight on the designer's part. >_>

--------------THINGS TO GET:--------------

A few mines from the box inside the building slightly north-west of the boat.These will make the upcoming mission much easier.

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Start by sending all of your men down and to the right to hide behind thehouse while that vehicle full of troops passes by. Once it goes far enough tothe left, move a little more east and get up against the east side of thehouse. That vehicle should completely exit the screen without causing anytrouble. Take this time to make sure all of your men have their weapons readyand loaded.

Take your man with the sniper rifle a little east so he can look over theshort wall. Your first target is a mounted gun to the north. Take out the

German manning it on the left. Now take out the two Germans standing in frontof the vehicle a little north-east of there. When those guys have been dealtwith, send that guy back behind the wall for safety. Grab the guy with theheavy machine gun this time, and go to the same spot on that short wall. Gundown any troops you can see. (There will be a lot of them. Probably abouttwelve or fifteen, depending on how many of them are attracted to yourposition by the firing.) Make sure you watch where all of them drop, becauseone of them has a rocket launcher on him that could be very useful later.

Once all of the oncoming troops are dealt with, take your men out to the openarea where you just slaughtered all of the Germans. Search everyone, and makesure you pick up any and all rifle ammo you can find, as well as any antitankgrenades you can find. Proceed north towards the gun. Search both of thesoldiers next to the vehicle north east of the gun for some antitank grenades.Then search the box to the right of them to find some Molotovs, a heavy machinegun, and 400 rounds of ammunition for a heavy machine gun. Definitely take theMolotovs, and I recommend you trade in your light machine gun for this one (ifyou still have a light machine gun, that is).

Leave your two machine gun men armed and ready in front of the gun. Then sendyour sniper guy to man it. Immediately turn your attention to the west. Thereshould be a machine gun tank thing over there, and it will most likely rushyour position when you take control of the gun. If not, go lure it out withone of your men. Either way, blast the thing with the mounted gun. Then useone of your machine gunners to clear out the rest of the troops over on the

west side of the map (this side of the river only, obviously).

Turn the gun to the east now. Destroy that giant house, and then destroy the


19/59

smaller house above it (and a little to the east). There are soldiers in bothhouses. There also should be another motorcycle with some troops that willapproach from the north east. Once all of those men are dealt with, you shouldautomatically complete the first part of the mission, even if you never had asoldier near the house.

Exit the gun, and make sure your sniper picks his gun back up. Give him any

ammo your other men might have found for his rifle. Load up on equipment ifyou need it, and then send your men west to the bridge. Make sure you rememberwhere the German soldier with the bazooka is so you can come back for it laterif you want to.


Walk onto the bridge with your rifle soldier. Snipe any infantry that you cansee. When other German soldiers walk up to a body, they stand there to examineit. You should be able to take out three guys doing that to the left of thefountain, and another two to the right of the fountain. Then send your machinegun men north, but hug the house to your left. The buildings farther north all

have an enemy unit in them, and they'll shred you if you stay out in the open.

When you get too close to the fountain, troops will poor out of the buildingeast of it. Kill them all, but make sure you don't accidentally kill Odetta ifshe walks out. Use your rifle soldier to pick off the soldiers in the housesto the north, and then approach the house to the right of the fountain to makeOdetta come out if she hasn't already. Be prepared to take out another guardthat appears with her, and make sure you don't shoot her on accident. Gaincontrol of her, but you don't really need to worry about arming her.

Now proceed north-west. Behind the line of houses that had troops in them, youwill see a Nebelwerfer4 rocket launcher. Use a machine gun troop to clear outthe guys from around the gun, but don't destroy it. When all of the men are

killed, jump in the Nebelwerfer. Scroll all the way over to the right of themap where the second bridge is, and launch a rocket at the machine gun vehiclesouth-east of it. Then launch one at the bridge itself to destroy it. Launchagain at the line of houses west of the bridge. There are a lot of troops inthose houses that will cause you trouble otherwise.

When those targets are destroyed, make sure your three men are well armed andfully supplied, which includes having their weapons in their inventory so theydon't drop them when they get into the boat. Don't bother arming Odetta, sinceshe won't be available in the next mission either.

Now head south to the river where the small boat is docked. The building aboveand to the west of the boat has a box in it. Inside the box are some valuableitems, including some mines. TAKE THE MINES! Or at least three of them. Makeroom in your inventory if you have to, but these will save you a lot of grieflater. When you're ready, put your men in the boat and float as fast as youcan up to the bridge you destroyed. Make sure you go quickly, because therewill most likely be several enemy troops left inside some of the buildings, andthey will try to snipe you along the way.

When the boat passes the bridge you destroyed, you will complete this mission.

===============================================================================-------------------------

2.03) CRASH SITE -------------------------


20/59

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Secure the crash site and recover the guidance system.

- Eliminate all German forces from the area around the crashed rocket tocomplete this part. Once you've done that, approach the crashed rocket, anda new goal will show up.

2) Find a way to get through the marsh safely.

- Step on the wrong part of the marsh, and your soldiers will die instantly.Luckily, there's a dog on the west side of the map that will appear if youeliminate every enemy units near the town. Follow the dog's path exactly, andyou'll make it across safely. It's still a good idea to save before trying itthough.

------UNITS:------


NOTE: Odetta Viar and any equipment she had will NOT be available to you inthis mission.


------------

Stand still where you start and wait for the motorcycles to exit the screen onthe west side. Make sure all of your men have their guns ready while you arewaiting. Once the motorcycles are gone, check your map for red dots along theroad you're standing on. There are several snipers in the bushes waiting toattack you. If one of your soldiers still has a rifle and some bullets, usehim to take these guys out. If not, just hose them with machine gun bullets.

Attacking the snipers will cause a hoard of German infantry to pour down onyour position. Gun them all down with your machine gunners, and try to save asmuch rifle ammo as possible. Make sure you pick off the men inside the machinegun vehicle in front of the rocket, too.

Remember the mines I had you grab from the last mission? Get them out rightnow, and place them along the road starting in the south and working your waynorth with as many as you have. Try to spread them out to take out as manyunits as you can later.

Once the hoard has been dealt with and the mines have been placed, select oneof your men that has a Molotov (I told you to get some in the last mission...).Head up the road, and crawl into the bushes to the south-west of the lighttank. You can throw a Molotov quite a ways, so do so now. Let the area burnuntil the light tank blows up, and make sure you don't get burned with it. Youcan also use an antitank grenade for this if you have one.

Once the light tank is destroyed, use a machine gunner to eliminate the rest ofthe red dots on your map around the crash site. Then approach the rocket to


21/59

accomplish the first goal. Stock up on equipment for your troops, and then gowest to the town area.

There are a lot of German soldiers here, so make sure you stay covered and haveplenty of machine gun ammo. Slaughter everyone, and make sure you're carefulwith the buildings. They all have at least one German soldier in them, andseveral have multiple ones. Check your map to make sure every target is

eliminated.

A dog should appear from the west and make his way east. You'll notice that acouple vehicles and several more soldiers have entered the crash site. If youplaced the mines like I suggested, at least one of the vehicles will bedestroyed before it can cause you any trouble, and both of them will be if youare lucky. If not, it will be the less threatening of the two that survives.

Head back east to the crash site, and deal with anything that survived the landmines. Be very careful that you don't accidentally kill the dog, or let theGermans kill it. Once the new German forces have been defeated, follow the dogfarther to the east. Follow THE EXACT same path that the dog does to get

across the swamp. Even stepping a little out of the path can kill you. Whenyou make it to the other side, you'll win the mission. Even though thismission is short, it's still a good idea to save before attempting to goacross the marsh. Also, only one man needs to make it to the other side forit to count, so I strongly suggest leaving the other two behind. That makes itless likely that they will scatter while moving and wind up drowning in theunstable swamp.

===============================================================================--------------------------- 2.04) AMBUSH

---------------------------===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Block the exit to the northern road to divert the convoy.

- The directions are a little messed up on this map. When they say "northern"road, they are referring to the northern exit of the paved road on the far eastside of the map. Throw a grenade at the base of the rocks on the west side ofthe path to cause a small avalanche that will block the road.

2) Ambush the convoy and retrieve the guidance system from the truck. (Theguidance technology must not be destroyed.)

- When the timer reaches zero, a convoy consisting of two motorcycles, a trooptransport, a truck, a tank, and a machine gun vehicle will approach from thesouth end of the paved road on the east side of the map. Since the north exitis blocked, they will turn west and take the dirt road heading towards thetown. You must eliminate the convoy without destroying the truck, and thenexamine the truck to find the guidance system. Take it to complete this partof the mission.

3) Once the system is secure, escape via the southern road.

- Again, the directions are messed up. You must get to the north end of the


22/59

road that heads north from the town to complete this goal.

------UNITS:------

Anything that survived the last mission will be available in this mission,

including equipment that you had in your inventory.

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Examine the woodcutter's body to get some bandages and two Molotovs. Take theammo and grenades from the two dead German soldiers if you need it. Head northup the dirt road a little, and take out the single German guard in the area.Then head east through the open field. You'll notice a German soldier behind apile of hay. Kill him, and several other Germans will rush at you. Kill themall, and search them for rifle ammo (and a rifle if you don't have one).

Head north-east until you are on the dirt road that runs east and west. Headnorth-east all the way up this road, dealing with troops as you go. When youget close to the units guarding the road's exit, use your rifle soldier to pickoff as many of the Germans as possible, preferably before any of them man themachine gun vehicle on the west side of the road.

When you approach the rocks, two motorcycles will appear from the north-east.Destroy them from the side of the road with some machine gun fire, but don'tstand on the road when you do it, or they might slide into you. If you don'thave a heavy machine gun or if you're low on ammo for it, examine that machinegun vehicle to find a nice gun and a lot of ammo for it. Then have a soldiertoss a grenade at the base of the rocks on the west side of the road's exit to

block the path.

Take all three of your men back west again. A little east of the town, thereare several diagonal rows of trees on the north side of the dirt road. Haveyour men hide above these trees so the vehicles that pass by the road won't seethem. Now simply wait. Two motorcycles and a light tank should come from thesouth-east and pass through the town without causing you any trouble.

Once they're gone, run your rifle man south and then west back to the hay fieldnear where you started the mission. There is a house slightly north-west ofthat hay field. Slightly south-west of that house, there is a crate. Examinethe crate to find three antitank mines. Make room in your inventory if youhave to, but make sure you take all three of the mines. Then run back throughthe hay field and back up to your other two men to resume your hiding.


Eventually, a troop transport should appear in the south-east. It will followthe same path as the vehicles that you just let go by. When it gets close toyou, try to land a small grenade in it or near it to kill the passengers. Oneof the men on it has a bazooka that you might want, so try not to pulverize thetransport or the troops. Hose whatever lives through the grenade with yourheavy machine gun, and make sure you take care of any soldiers that try to manthe transport's machine gun.

When all of those Germans are dead, search them to find the soldier that had abazooka and several rockets. Take it and all of the rockets, even if you haveto ditch your other equipment for it. You can always get more later, but this


23/59

is the only bazooka you'll be able to get right now, and you might need it as aback up in case my primary plan fails.

Head back to your hiding spots in the trees when you've got the bazooka,because a vehicle is going to come down the road from the town. A few troopsmight also approach from the east, but you can jump out and kill them, sincethey shouldn't be much of a threat.

After the vehicle from the town is gone, take the man with the antitank mineseast along the road. Have him go a little past the rock where the road splits,and lay a mine on the north side and the south side of the road, directly inline with each other. You don't want to place these in the middle of the road.You'll want them in the darker brown stripes that run along the edge of it.This is because you can't destroy the truck that comes by, or you lose. If themines are placed correctly, the truck will pass through safely, but the tankfollowing it will not. Place the third mine in the middle of the road to thewest of the other pair. Quite a ways to the west, too, not just a little. Runthis soldier back to his spot in the trees when you're done, and then wait forthe convoy.


If you're lucky, the first motorcycle will be destroyed by the last mine youplaced in the middle of the road. Let the convoy continue to approach you, andthen launch a rocket at the troop transport once you have a good shot. Use theheavy machine gunner to devastate any survivors. Also use him to fire at thetruck until it stops moving, and slaughter any troops that come out of it.

Here's where things can get ugly. If you placed the mines well, and you have alittle luck, the tank will be destroyed, and possibly the vehicle behind it aswell. If you placed the mines poorly or if you were extremely unlucky, youmight have to deal with one or both of these vehicles. Move fast to keep your

men out of sight of the vehicles, and then launch a rocket at them when you getthe chance. One rocket should stop each vehicle, but you will most likely haveto deal with the troops that come out of them.

Once everything is destroyed, examine the truck to find the guidance system.Stick it in your inventory, and then search the German soldiers and vehicles tostock up on supplies, ammo, and weapons if you need them. Then head north nearthe top of the map, and head west. Go over the top of the town, and proceed tothe road on the other side. When you get to the top of the road, you willcomplete the mission.

===============================================================================--------------------------- 2.05) RESCUE ---------------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Secure the landing zone.

- This is fairly simple. All you have to do is eliminate the German soldiersaround the road and the two houses south-west of the landing field.


24/59

2) Find some way to signal the plane so it can land in the large field.

- This is time consuming, but fairly easy. First, you have to place a bundleof wood on each of the five small dark circles in the landing field. Then youhave to go all the way to the north-west base area, clear it out, and take abarrel of fuel from it. Return to the wood piles, put a drop of fuel on eachone, and then light each one with matches you can get off of the German guards

pretty much everywhere on the map.

A lot of people have contacted me because they can't see the circles that showwhere to put the wood, so here's a screenshot that will hopefully help some ofyou out:

https://reader009.{domain}/reader009/html5/0511/5af4feeb09325/5af4fef371f4e.png

3) Rescue the pilot and escape with the guidance system to Saint-Omerairfield.

- Get the pilot and the guidance system to the north-west corner where the

road exits the screen.

4) The pilot must not be killed.

- If he gets killed, you fail. Make sure you clear out the few Germansoldiers that appear on the south part of the map halfway through the mission,or they will almost certainly kill the pilot before you can do anything aboutit.

------UNITS:------


1 Pilot (Jeremy Carpenter) will also join your group late in the mission.

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Select your heavy machine gunner and walk north through the rocky valley. Whenyou get near the road, start slaughtering anything you can see. Many Germansoldiers and two motorcycles will approach your position, so make sure you keepan eye on your ammo. Once the road area is clear, collect some supplies(including a box of matches or two) and send all of your troops north-west tothe two buildings below the field in the middle of the map. A few troops maystill be lurking around, so deal with them if necessary. Once the area isclear, the first goal will be complete.

Head north-west and take cover south of the hay piles in the field south of thesmall German base. Get your sniper ready, and then step out to kill the Germanin the southern guard tower. Then have your heavy machine gunner approach thebase from the south-west. There is a gap in the fence on the west side rightwhere the trees touch it. Hide in the trees, and then gun down any troops thatcome by.

Send your rifle man into the base now, and take out the Germans in the othertwo guard towers. Have your machine gunner cover the rifle man if there arestill other troops in the base. Once the whole base is clear, search the


25/59

south-east part of it for a barrel of fuel. Make sure you don't drop yourweapon when you pick it up, and then send all three of your men back to the twohouses south of the landing field, taking the fuel with you.

Above the west house are many bundles of wood. Pick them up one at a time andplace a bundle in each of the five dark circles in the field to the north.Then drop a little fuel on each of the five bundles of wood. Send two of your

soldiers west to the road for safety, and leave the third soldier in the fieldwith some matches. Check your map. If there are German soldiers along thesouthern part of the map, go eliminate them immediately.

A lot of people have contacted me because they can't see the circles that showwhere to put the wood, so here's a screenshot that will hopefully help some ofyou out:

https://reader009.{domain}/reader009/html5/0511/5af4feeb09325/5af4fef440683.png


Use the matches to light the five fuel covered bundles of wood. When they areall burning, the plane will come in for a landing. Get your soldier off thefield and send him to the others as fast as possible, so he doesn't get hit bythe plane. Scroll down to where the plane stops and highlight the pilot. Getsome equipment for him from the guards nearby, or you can get some up by theGerman base in the north-west, which is your final destination anyway.

Send everyone to the base in the north-west. Make sure you are well supplied,and keep an eye out for random vehicles that might pass by. When you're ready,simply get the pilot and the guidance system onto the far western spot of thenorthern road to complete the mission.

===============================================================================

-------------------------- 2.06) FREEDOM --------------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Find a way into the airfield complex.

- All you have to do is cross the gate of the complex to accomplish this.

2) Secure the plane in the large hanger.

- The hanger is in the far north-west corner, and the plane is in the southernhalf of the hanger. Eliminate every guard in that section of the hanger toaccomplish this goal.

3) Get the pilot and the guidance system to the plane and ensure that heescapes safely.

- There is a panel in the south corner of the hanger that your men can use to

open the main hanger doors. Then you need to put the guidance system either inthe plane's cargo area, or on the pilot himself before you will be able to makethe pilot enter the plane. He will then fly away. Two German fighters will


26/59

come down the runway from the north, and you must destroy them both before themission will be a success. A large group of vehicles will also come from thenorth, but they will be easy to deal with if you follow my suggestions.

------UNITS:------


------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Wait for the vehicles to go past. A motorcycle will head east from the westside of the screen slightly after the rest of the vehicles, so don't let itcatch you off guard. Take all four of your troops west over the round and duckthem into the trees there so they won't be visible from either road. Then take

out your rifle soldier, walk onto the road by the river, and snipe the guardsin both of the towers to the north. Have him snipe the soldier manning themounted gun near the gate of the base, too. Then run him back into the coverof the trees.

Wait for another set of vehicles to pass by. Just like before, a motorcyclewill pass by a little after the rest of the vehicles. If you need smallmachine gun ammo or small grenades, use a machine gun man to take out the cycleand its three occupants. If not, just let it drive by. Then take your heavymachine gun man across the bridge, but don't forget to snipe the German in theguard tower slightly east of the bridge first. And make sure you keep your menhidden from the road while the machine gunner is crossing the bridge. Morevehicles will come by through this entire mission.

If you were lucky, the vehicles got stuck trying to go down the road in frontof the base, causing a large traffic jam. These vehicles will provide you withgood cover from the slew of German soldiers and mounted machine gun bulletsthat will greet you on the other side of the river. Be very careful with yourmachine gun man, and slaughter anything that you can. Tossing a single smallgrenade at one of the trucks (not one of the water trucks) will usually causethe whole pile to explode, and it will also sometimes take out a huge sectionof fence with it. Make sure you kill the two men manning the mounted machinegun before you step out from behind your cover vehicle.

If, for some unlikely reason, the gate hasn't been opened or a hole hasn't beencaused in the fence yet, a single bullet to the lock in the center of it shouldopen it right up. Proceed carefully into the base, and you will accomplish thefirst goal. The house on the left has a German soldier in it, so take him out.You can send your other three men into the base now too, but make sure novehicles are on the road or approaching the road before you move. The houseon the right of the entrance has two crates in it. The only thing you reallywant from them is the heavy machine gun ammo, but feel free to take anythingelse you want.

Use the rifle soldier to snipe the German in the tower to the east of the gate.Then send all four of your men to the two tanks above the house. Give theheavy machine gun man about two hundred bullets, and then put every other heavymachine gun bullet you have in the eastern tank. Leave the heavy machine gun

soldier on the road in the middle of the base, and then have each of the threeother troops pick up a barrel of gas from the area near the eastern guard toweryou just cleared out. (Make sure you don't drop your weapons in the process.)


27/59

Dump two barrels in the eastern tank, and dump the other barrel in the westernone.


Have one soldier get in the western tank, and have the other soldier and thepilot get in the eastern one. Immediately set the eastern tank to Hold Fire so

it doesn't waste any ammo or shoot at anything stupid. Keep an eye on your mapfor enemies coming from the north-west. As soon as you move a tank, severaltroops with bazookas will rush your position. Make sure you kill them allbefore they damage either of your tanks, and then proceed north with the armedtank.

Some soldiers will attack from the north-west, so make sure you kill them allbefore they can throw a grenade at your tank. Kill the soldier in the windowof the large building in the north-west corner of the fenced area, and then runover the guy manning the mounted machine gun above the base area. Turn eastand use your machine gun to kill the guy in the guard tower as well as thethree men in/around the building near it. Check your map to make sure there

aren't any stragglers.

Now continue west with the tank, and kill the four Germans north of the hangercomplex. Park the tank on the road, and then go send your machine gun soldierand the second tank up to where the other tank is stopped. Rotate your cameraa little so the hanger complex and the road you're on both run almost perfectlynorth and south. Your map should look like this when you've done this:

------------- . X O . X = Your current position.O .

.G . = The runway, which is a dirt road.G . . O = The hanger complex. . G = AntiAircraft guns (can also shoot at ground targets). -------------

Drive the unarmed tank all the way north on the road, and park it in the middleof where the other road intersects the north/south road at the very top of thescreen. Eject the driver, and then send him into the armed tank.


This next part can be tricky. If you look south down the road, you'll see twoAntiAircraft guns, one on each side of the road. You'll also see three trucksdown there. Two are below the gun on the right, and the third is above it.These vehicles provide a great back up plan for later, so you want to make surenone of them take any damage. That means that you can't accidentally hit thetwo southern ones when you attack the eastern gun, and you have to make surethe western gun doesn't hit the northern truck when it shoots at you. The factthat soldiers inside the hanger can throw grenades out through the wall onlymakes this more difficult.

So, to make things as easy as possible, we'll just eliminate the northern partof the hanger. You'll need to create an entrance on the north wall of thehanger. The safest way to do this is with an antitank grenade. If you don't


28/59

have one, you can ram the north wall at a fairly high speed with the tank tobreak a section of the wall down. That can be dangerous though, because if asoldier in the hanger manages to hit you with a grenade, it will almost alwaysbreak one of your treads. So I hope you have an antitank grenade.

Send your machine gun soldier into the newly-formed hole in the wall, and havehim eliminate all of the Germans in both sections of the hanger. Then exit the

hanger through the hole you just made.


Since there aren't any more pesky guards to hit you with grenades when you goby, have your tank drive south towards the two antiaircraft guns, and make sureyou stay right up next to the hanger as you go down there. Load a highexplosive shell, and blast the eastern antiaircraft gun with it. Make sure youmachine gun any troops that try to attack you, but remember not to hit thevehicles nearby.

Head farther south and clear out the guards by the gate on the west side of the

road. Here's the tricky part. You can still win the mission without capturingthat gun, but your chances are much higher if you can get it intact. Beforeyou bring the tank into a spot where it'll be shot at by the gun, make sure youeject the pilot and give him the guidance system if he doesn't already have it.Leave the machine gun soldier you've been using in front of the hanger with thepilot. Make sure the tank's machine gun is fully loaded.

NOTE: It's important that you stay off of the road with the tank while you tryto eliminate this gun. If the gun disables you on the road, your plane willhit the tank on its way out and crash.

Once you're prepared, drive the tank south until you can shoot at the gun withyour machine gun, and try to pick off the two soldiers manning it. If things

get ugly, don't worry. The gun can't kill your tank, so it'll just sit theredumping it's ammo into it to no avail. If that happens, simply grab yourmachine gun soldier, get a small grenade or a Molotov out, and sneak up on thegun from the trees to the north. Toss the grenade at the gun while it's stillbusy wasting its ammo at the tank, and you should be fine.

Remember those three vehicles I said you wanted to try and not damage? Sendone of your three men into each of them now. Drive them north until they areon the north/south road directly east of the small house above the hanger.Park them on the road like this:

------------- T T = Tank I had you park earlier. H 1 2 3 X = The hanger.XXX X P H = The small building above the hanger. X XX 1,2,3 = The three vehicles (park them sideways to cover as X much of the road as possible.) XX X P = The armed tank, if you still have it. Load the armor X piercing shells if you still have this tank.XXX

-------------


29/59

(Now is a VERY good time to save if you want to.)

If the armed tank can still move, stick it slightly south of the three vehicleson the road, and make sure it has an armor piercing shell loaded. Man theantiaircraft gun with one soldier, and leave the other two in the tank. If thetank can't get up there, then just leave the other two men south of the hanger.

Select the pilot. In the very south-east corner of the bottom half of thehanger, there is a switch that will make a little lock icon show up when youtarget it with a soldier. Have the pilot flip this switch, and the hanger willopen up. Once the doors are open, you can send him into the plane. He willtake off on his own.

Two enemy fighters will appear from the north to chase your plane. The firstone should hit the tank I had you put all the way at the top of the screen andcrash shortly afterwards, possibly taking one of your other vehicles out withit. The second one should get caught in the debris field and the other trucks,and it should be destroyed too.

Some German vehicles will arrive next. If your armed tank is up there andavailable, use your armor piercing shells to stop as many of the enemy vehiclesas you can right in the debris pile from your vehicles and the first two enemyfighters. A third enemy fighter will enter from the north shortly after thevehicles arrive. If you're lucky, it will run into the vehicles and debris,and it will be destroyed right away.

If not, go down to your soldier manning the antiaircraft gun. Make sure he'sset to Fire at Will, and he should blast the remaining fighter without mucheffort. Once it's destroyed, you'll finish the mission.

3.00) THE WAY TO BERLIN (UNITED STATES)

------------------------------------------------==============================================================================================================================================================

------------------------ 3.01) DROP ZONE ------------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Find and rescue at least four squad members and bring them to therendezvous zone.

- Pretty simple. Note that you only need four total, including John Perkins.If you can't remember where the rendezvous zone is, just open up your missionobjective screen and click on the eye icon.

------

UNITS:------


30/59

1 Soldier (John Lee Perkins)

Additional soldiers will become available as the mission progresses.

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

See that football-shaped light spot on the ground right below where you'restanding at the start of the mission? Look to your left and a little bit up,and you should see another one just like it. Just above it, there is a crate.Run there as fast as possible, without wasting a second. Take an M1, all ofthe ammo, all of the grenades, and all of the bandages from the crate as fastas possible. Now go back to the right, where the SDK full of troops is firingat your paratroopers. Use an antitank grenade to pulverize the SDK, and thenuse your machine gun to take care of any surviving troops in the area.

Don't go any more to the west. Just hide behind a tree to the south for now.See that field to the north? There's an American soldier crouched near the top

of it. Select him, and run north out of the field. There is another footballthing in this next open area, and there is another crate a little above it.Take everything of value out of it that you can, and then send this soldierdown to your other one.

(Collecting extra supplies for this mission isn't really necessary. Your unitsand equipment will not carry over into the next missions, so you only needenough stuff to get you through this one. I won't bother mentioning otherlocations for equipment unless I think you absolutely need it to finish themission.)

Leave your men down there, but scroll to the west where the small group ofbuildings is. Watch the area until you see a light tank roll through. Keep

watching it, and it should drive over the bridge to the west, and then south tothe edge of the screen eventually. It's much easier to let it just leave thescreen than it is to try and destroy it with an antitank grenade.

Once the tank has left the screen, take both of your men into the small town.The game will be interrupted to show some paratroopers dropping in. Run intothe center of this town, and take out any soldiers there. Use one of your mento toss a grenade at the antiaircraft gun to the north. (Those guns can alsoshoot at the ground, so don't step in front of it.) Once the area is clear,look around. One of the new American soldiers should be under your control,but the others will not be. Stand around until another paradrop scene occurs,and you will be able to control a fourth soldier.

Take a machine gun man north to the next small town area. Another paratrooperwill fall in the middle of the place. Immediately kill the Germans that arenext to the vehicle, or they will get in it and kill you and the new trooper.You will be able to control this new soldier as well. Make sure your soldiersall have at least a weapon and some ammo. Set four of them to Fire At Will andleave them in the town to defend themselves.

Take Perkins (who should still have several grenades) north-east. Deal withany troops you encounter, and stop south of the spot that crosses the river.Gun down any troops that attack you, but stay out of the way of the mountedmachine gun on the other side of the river. Once the coast is clear, havePerkins swim across the river from a spot east of the gun so he won't be able

to get shot by it. Toss a grenade over the outhouse at the soldiers manningthe gun. Once the gun is no longer a threat, send your other four men up toPerkins, and then send all five of them west of the mounted gun to the small


31/59

town area, which is the rendezvous zone. This mission is now finished.

(Note: It's not necessary to go anywhere else or do anything else to finishthe mission, so I didn't bother writing down anything else.)

===============================================================================---------------------------

3.02) NIJMEGEN ---------------------------

===============================================================================

------GOALS:------

1) Clear the town of the enemy before further allied armor arrives.

- Fairly straight forward. Every German unit on the map must be eliminatedfor the mission to be complete. Uncontrollable American infantry will streamin slowly from the north-east and take care of a few of the Germans for you.Mostly they just get slaughtered senselessly though...

------UNITS:------

5 Soldiers (John Lee Perkins, Bill Watchtower, Franklin Fain, Robert Liberty,and Zahariah Markham).

Note: Even though your units from this mission won't carry over into the next

mission, they will carry over into the mission after it. So don't think youcan be sloppy with your troops. The more you have alive at the end of thismission, and the better they're equipped, the easier Artillery Assault will be.

------------WALKTHROUGH:------------

Start off by taking Perkins all the way to the east edge of the map, and havehim walk north-east. Crouch behind the concrete wall you come to, and thenquickly run north from there to the pile of hay. Toss a grenade over the haypile at the artillery, and then gun down the rest of the infantry that arehiding in the bushes and trees nearby. Immediately run and man the gun youfreed up, and turn to blast the other gun farther up.

As much as you might want to, refrain from blasting anything else. Enemysoldiers are carrying valuable equipment that will help you a lot in thismission, and it's kinda hard to get it from them if they're blown into athousand tiny pieces. So jump out of the gun and shoot any soldiers thatattack you. Then search them for grenades, especially the antitank variety.Don't forget to search around where all the men were from the first gun youattacked, too.

Head down to the pair of buildings south-west of where the American tanks weredestroyed. Look to the town just north of here, and a group of German soldiers

should start to collect on the street. It they don't attack you right away,step out and fire at them to get their attention. Stay behind the buildingsthough. The enemy soldiers in the windows of the buildings will make short


32/59

work of you if you stay in the open. Instead, get up against the southern wallof the longer of the two buildings, and deal with the soldiers as they comearound the corners. Search them all once they're dead, and take any antitankgrenades you can find. Then head back to your other four men.

Move everyone north-west along the edge of the screen. Cross the first streetyou come to, and take care any soldiers you encounter in the village area you

find yourself in. Make sure you take care of any bazooka-wielding soldiers asquickly as possible, or you'll find yourself blasted to pieces. Remember wherethey drop their weapons too, because they will be helpful later when you needto get enemy troops out of buildings. Now leave your four men there, and takePerkins farther up along the western edge of the screen. (Remember to searchthe Germans for more supplies if you're running low.)

After you cross the next street, there are two buildings. Even though they donot show up on the map, there are German soldiers in the larger of the twobuildings. Go inside and make your way to the bottom-right corner. There's abox there, and there's a Mine Detector in the box. You can take it if you wantto, but there isn't much use for it. If the Germans don't fight you in the

building, go outside and wait for them to come out.

A few Germans will stream into the area from the north-west. Be ready to gunthem down before they can get out of the street. You will almost certainlyalert many other Germans when you do this, so duck behind some cover to thewest and deal with them all. Check your map to make sure there are no moreGermans approaching your position before you proceed.

Usually, I suggest never adjusting the map to avoid any confusion with thedirections I give. This time though, it's much easier if you move the camera.Luckily, there's a nice easy reference point to use. Send Perkins into theintersection of the street directly east of the house you found the MineDetector in. Rotate your camera by holding down the wheel on your mouse and

scrolling to the right. Make it so the map is positioned like this:

----------- + -----------

You should be standing with a street running straight to the north right infront of you (you should be where the + is). Make sure you watch for Germansoldiers that occasionally show up from the lower-west side of the map.

Both of the buildings on the corner your right have enemy soldiers in them.Use an antitank grenade on each of the buildings to blow a hole in their sidesso you can kill the enemy soldiers in them.

There's no real strategy left to this mission. Bring your other four men up toPerkins, and begin moving along the round in the city. Keep an eye on your mapas you move, and destroy any building that looks like it has an enemy soldierin it. Continue hunting down the red dots on the map until you've eliminatedall of them, and this mission will be complete.

Remember: Even though your units from this mission won't carry over into thenext mission, they will carry over into the mission after it. So don't thinkyou can be sloppy with your troops. The more you have alive at the end of this

mission, and the better they're equipped, the easier Artillery Assault will be.
