=====================================
After the confusion at the start of the mission, switch to your Colt. 45 and
run like hell up the hill. If you don't have a Colt because you're continuing
the story, try using the "Restart Level" option in the menu screen as the Colt
will allow you to almost sprint in comparison with any of the other weapons.
Rush up the hill dodging to the left and right and taking cover in the craters
where possible, then move into the crater with the tree for cover. Randall will
tell someone to throw smoke, but don't waste it, he'll throw his own. Once it
fills up the area, rush up to the left hand side of the bunker and plant your
explosives on the door then fall quite a way back so you're not hurt by the
blast.
Get a grenade or two in just after it blows, then move in with your Garand and
clear up. Now I'd advise you to swap your Colt. 45 for an MP40. As you head
back outside in the concrete bunker type thing you'll see another door which
you can blow up. This isn't mission critical, but if you blow it up, you can
find some smoke grenade and frag grenade ammo, as well as an MP44 or a Scoped
Gewehr which is the only semi-automatic sniper rifle that I can remember
seeing in any WW2 game.
Grab the weapons if you want them, I'll stick with my Garand, then head up the
hill a short way and regroup with your guys. They're pinned down by a good ten
to fifteen Germans in a well defended position. What I usually do is smoke
their area, then run down the hill back towards the town until I reach the mine
fields. Head along here and then go up alongside the barbed wire fence and
grenade them, however there may be an easier way to do it than this.
Once you've cleared out this defended area, jump on the MG42 at the end and use
it to shoot at the very few Germans you can actually hit who are below. Once
you've killed all you can, head down the hill slightly and engage the German
troops behind the obstacles. Use the concrete road blocks for cover and throw
all of the grenades you have behind the crates which they're using for cover.
Move in quickly and take out any last Germans with your sub machine gun, then
grab some more grenades and fight the few more Germans by the truck a bit
further along. As you reach the truck you'll be told to throw some smoke, but
once again I'd say keep hold of it, seeing as one of your squad mates will use
their smoke for you. Once it's everywhere, run up towards the bunker and head
around to the side. You'll see a good ten or so Germans to the left who are
trying to see through the smoke. Get a few grenades by them, and get one in the
bunker, then take out any Germans still alive with your Garand.
Plant your explosives on the door and keep back while it blows, then move into
the room on the left and take out the few Germans who will charge at you. Head
through the bunker ensuring it's safe and picking up more grenades, then head
back outside. Just as you're leaving the bunker you may notice another Scoped
Gewehr against some boxes. Take it if you want it then regroup outside.
Head to the right with the other Rangers and you're ready to assault the top of
Hill 400. Once again, I usually keep to the right and follow the minefield all
of the way along using smoke grenades for concealment, and grenades to take out
large sections of enemies. Keep heading around to the right and take out the
mortar team around there, then head up the hill taking out the many Germans
behind the sand bags and make your way towards the halftrack.
Plant your explosives on it, then move into the trench for cover. Head around
the back of the bunker, where there should be some smoke which one of your guys
threw, then get a few grenades out front killing the Germans around there.
Watch out for the MG42 gunner as you move into the bunker and plant your bombs
on the door. Throwing a grenade through the port hole is advised as it'll take
out most of the Germans inside.
Once the door blows, move in and clear out those rooms, then plant your
explosives on the next door. Take cover at the side and then strafe past it
once it's blown throwing two or three grenades in. This should wipe out all of
the Germans inside, then you need to head back upstairs and use your compass to
see if you have any other objectives left to finish. If you do, make your way
over to them. If not, just pick off any remaining Germans and relax.
