MAIN OBJECTIVES:
----------------
1) Secure both British encampments.
There's one north of your current position and one to the east of your
current position. I suggest taking the northern one first, swinging across
the top of the map to collect deserted vehicles, and then heading south to
take the eastern encampment from above.
2) Tow and place the 88mm Flaks to the marked positions to fend off the
counter attack.
Once you have control of both encampments, two sets of trucks will appear
along the west and south sides of the map, each towing a Flak 88mm. Four
blue objective symbols will represent the four spots you need to deploy
them. Once you do so, this objective will be complete. Careful though -
as soon as you complete this, the counter attack will start.
3) Hold both encampments.
The eastern encampment will be attacked from the north, the north-western
one will be attacked from the east. Split your tanks into equal groups,
and you'll have no problems fending off the attacks.
These three objectives are worth 350 prestige points together.
--------------------
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVES:
--------------------
- None.
------------------
SECRET OBJECTIVES:
------------------
1) At least one abandoned vehicle found.
Three German tank crews are scattered around the map. One is in the far
north-western corner, another is a little to the east of there, and the
third is in the far north-eastern corner. Discover one of the crews to
accomplish this secret objective.
This is worth 75 prestige points.
2) British self-propelled gun captured.
East of the north-western encampment, on the northern side of the main road
in the canyon-like area, you'll find an abandoned Bishop surrounded by
British infantry. You just need to see the Bishop to accomplish this
secret objective, but capturing it for your own use certainly won't hurt.
This is worth 75 prestige points.
-------------------
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
-------------------
1) Dario DeAngelis must survive.
If he dies, you fail. If the vehicle he starts in takes too much damage,
remove him from it and stick him in a safer vehicle.
2) Hans von Grobel must survive.
If he dies, you fail. If the vehicle he starts in takes too much damage,
remove him from it and stick him in a safer vehicle.
------------------
SPECIAL ABILITIES:
------------------
2 Fighter Bomber strikes
3 Heavy Artillery bombardments
2 Recon Plane scouts
------------
WALKTHROUGH:
------------
Gather your tanks and head west to the road, then turn north and enter the
encampment. Only some infantry and some light tanks are defending it, so you
shouldn't have any trouble taking it. Make sure you watch out for units inside
bunkers though - don't want your repair and supply trucks getting damaged.
Make a run for the north-western corner of the map, and you'll find a German
tank crew crouched near an abandoned machine gun vehicle. Move farther to the
east and you should find an abandoned Panzer III F with another tank crew near
it. Have this crew get back in the tank, then repair it and add it to your
pile. (Finding one of the crews will complete your first secret objective, by
the way.)
Turn south-east of where you found the Panzer III F and head for the high spot
near the road. A group of British infantry are guarding an abandoned Bishop,
and if you see it, you'll accomplish the second secret objective. Clear out
the infantry and send your second German tank crew into it, then repair it and
add it to your arsenal.
Move your column onto the road now, heading due east. Turn south when you hit
the edge of the map and follow the road. You'll find another tank crew near
another abandoned Panzer III F, so take it and repair it. Continue moving
south until you take control of the second encampment, then use the supply
depot to repair your units if necessary.
You'll receive four trucks with towing Flak 88s. Before you deploy them on
the four blue objective symbols, divide your tanks into two equal groups.
Leave one at this supply depot, then send the other group to the other
encampment. Park the tank groups between where the Flak 88s will be
deployed, then go ahead and deploy them.
The counter attack will start immediately. You shouldn't have any trouble
fending off the assaults, but if you want to make sure you don't lose anything,
you should actively attack with your tanks before the British units reach your
Flak 88s. You can even tow them back out of the way if you want, although it's
not really necessary. The mission's over when enough of the attackers are
destroyed.
