MAIN OBJECTIVES:
----------------
1) Keep your supply depot secured.
This will be your primary focus for the mission, since massive quantities
of German armor will assault the depot constantly. At the start of the
mission, line your tanks up close to the supply depot to form a defensive
line, then put the rocket launchers behind them. Move all of your infantry
off to the east, including the crews that were manning the field guns close
to the depot. Retreat your northern group to the base too, but instead of
trying to get the guns into a usable place, simply desert them in the road
near your other deserted field guns. This slows down the German assaults
and lets your rocket launchers shred them from a distance. Add the guys to
your pile. Make sure your tanks and rocket launchers stay repaired and
supplied with ammo, and this setup should keep the depot protected
indefinitely.
2) Use Wolf to plant explosives to the marked areas of the bridge (3 of 3).
There's a shallow spot in the water south of the waterfall, and several of
your infantry units have rubber rafts. Take them to the east side of the
bank, clear it out, then move north to the bridge. Two of the marked areas
are on this side of the bridge, the third is on the northern side. You'll
have to cross the road on the other side of the river to get to the third
one (you'll likely want to rotate your camera to see it, too).
3) Bring Wolf to the marked location.
Nothing hard about this. Once Wolf's placed the third charge on the north
side of the bridge, send him back over the road towards the radar station,
then have him step on the marked location.
These three objectives are worth 300 prestige points together.
--------------------
OPTIONAL OBJECTIVES:
--------------------
1) Destroy the German artillery.
It's along the eastern edge of the map. Your infantry will be right next
to it when you go over there to place the first two charges, so you might
as well take care of it. There are two guns, neither of which are guarded
very well. If you're feeling lazy and you've already taken the radar
station, simply use a scout plane to find both of them, then destroy them
with fighter-bomber strikes.
This is worth 50 prestige points.
------------------
SECRET OBJECTIVES:
------------------
1) Radar station captured.
Approach it from the path to the south of it. Two weak units of infantry
are guarding it, and all you have to do to take it is eliminate them.
This is worth 75 prestige points.
-------------------
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
-------------------
1) Wolf must survive.
If he dies, you fail. He doesn't start in a vehicle and you'll need to use
him for most of the mission, so keep your medics close to him.
------------------
SPECIAL ABILITIES:
------------------
[These become available after you take the radar station:]
2 Paratrooper drops
3 Fighter Bomber strikes
3 Recon Plane scouts

WALKTHROUGH:
------------
Your primary focus for this mission is setting up an invincible defensive line
above your supply depot. As soon as the mission starts, evacuate all of your
infantry east of the depot, then move your tanks south closer to the depot.
Line them up in a straight line accross the road, then stick the rocket
launchers behind them. The depot should be able to reach both rocket launcers
and most of the tanks. Stick the repair truck behind the tanks that can't be
reached by the depot.
The field guns slightly north of the base aren't particularly helpful for
defending the base, so I suggest simply abandoning them right there. Send all
of the infantry to your pile east of your base, then go send the other three
field guns and the recon vehicles towards your base. Stop them near the two
abandoned field guns and abandon them as well. Why? The German vehicles will
be forced to maneuver around the abandoned weaponry, which slows down their
assaults and spreads them out. Send the infantry that were manning them to the
pile east of your base.
The first wave of German attackers will be the biggest, so watch it carefully.
If a tank starts to take too much damage, back it off the line immediately.
Pay close attention to your rocket launchers' ammo supply and refill them if
necessary. Otherwise, manually control the depot and the repair truck to keep
the most damaged tanks repiared as possible. If you can get through the first
wave without losing any vehicles, you'll be in great shape for the rest of the
mission.
Time to deal with your infantry pile. Highlight them and move north towards
the radar station near the bridge. Only light German infantry are in your way,
so you shouldn't have any problems reaching the station. Take out the two
infantry untis guarding it to take it, which will accomplish the secret
objective and add some air strikes to your arsenal.
Move your troops south-east to the shallow spot on the river now, being careful
around the German vehicle near it. Several of your units are equipped with
rubber boats, so send them all to the eastern side of the river. Clear out
the infantry, then move north along the far eastern side of the hills. Two
field guns are waiting up here, and destroying them will accomplish the
optional objective.
Farther north, you'll be able to move down the cliffs towards the river. The
first two marked spots are waiting for you there, so have Wolf plant the
charges, then backtrack to the shallow crossing where the rest of your troops
are waiting. Get back on the western side of the river, then send your forces
north to the radar station again.
Take Wolf and all of your medics north accross the road when the path is clear.
Rotate the camera to see the third marked spot, then have Wolf place the last
charge. Return him and your medics to the unit of paratroopers above the
bridge, then cross the road again when it's clear. Get Wolf to the new marked
spot west of the radar station to end the mission as well as the Partisan
campaign.
