=====================================
Well let me start by saying the start of this mission is the most ridiculously
hard start to any mission is any game I've ever played. Your jeep is taken out
of commission, and then about twenty Germans on the rooftops have you trapped 
in a tiny alleyway, constantly shooting at you. You have about thirty seconds
which you need to keep them under fire for while the gate is opened so you can
escape, and there is literally no real cover to use. I don't even have any real
advice for this bit, it's just completely stupid.
 
Try to go prone behind the blown up jeep and pop up firing rifle shots at the 
Germans closest to you, but if you're playing on veteran, it's going to take a 
hell of a lot of luck to get through this. I think I was stuck here for a good
half an hour without being able to do anything but die.
 
Anyway, try to take out as many Germans as you can, and eventually the gate 
will be opened allowing you to escape. Once you do, immediately go prone behind
the wall and let your squad catch up. Keep popping up and firing off rifle 
shots at the Germans behind the sandbags and crates in the distance. There are 
also a number of Germans to the left too. Your best chance is probably to smoke
the area and run to the right, keeping behind the wall. Move directly across 
the road and then pick off the Germans from alongside them. 
 
Once you've cleared out the few in front of the wall from before, shoot the 
ones to the left, then make your way carefully around the corner and engage 
the Germans around there, paying particular attention to the MG42 gunner at 
the back. Once that area's cleared, move through the arch thing and throw some 
grenades at the enemies behind the wall to the left. Move behind the sandbags 
where the MG42 gunner was, then look down the street and try to pick off any 
enemies before your squad throws smoke.
 
Once the smoke fills the road, move down quickly and take cover behind the end 
wall. Pop up and spray at the five or so Germans who'll come from the left and 
then try to move up the stairs just ahead and look out of the window where 
you'll be able to take out five or so Germans down there. Once the area looks
secure, head back down and follow your squad around to the left. A halftrack 
will provide suppressing fire on you, but it will eventually retreat around the
corner, as your tanks make their way through the streets to meet up with you.
 
Follow the tank along the road, and as it gets about half way, move to the 
right and take cover behind the wall. From there, pick off the Germans to the 
left and right sides of the street, mainly around the halftrack area, then move
in behind where the halftrack is and stay in cover as the German planes fly 
down the street. Your tank will be taken out, so you'll need to move down the 
rest of the street on foot, and fight about five more Germans as you approach 
the entrance to the anti-aircraft area.
 
Take them out with grenades or your Thompson, and use grenades to wipe out the 
Flakvierling anti-aircraft gunners. Quickly try to dispose of any more Germans 
in the AA gun area, then run to the large gun and use it to shoot the Germans 
on the balcony in front of it. After they're all dead, get off the gun and 
switch to a rifle, and pick off the Germans on the next balcony along. 
 
Once they're gone the Germans will appear on the next balcony along to the 
right, so take most of them out, then you'll be told to defend the area 
against the enemy planes using the AA gun. Get back on it and look straight 
forward and shoot all of the planes as they make their way down. Shoot them 
just as they're starting to dip ready to fire at you. Always go to the biggest
looking plane first, obviously the one closest to you. You may have to switch
back and forth from the planes to the left and right to do this.
 
After you've taken all ten or so planes down, it's mission passed, and finally
an end to the campaign in North Africa.
