Walkthrough
===========
01. Start by building a Sherman tank and upgrading the BAR rifle for your
infantry.
02. Get your snipers to scout the area. The first bridge has a motorcycle
unit, so don't get your sniper to wander in its range.
03. Make sure you capture the high ammo point adjacent to the base. Ammo in
this mission is crucial, so make sure you always have at least +40 ammo to
make your life easier.
04. I personally used Airborne in this misison. My main strategy with Airborne
is basically to drop three squads of Airborne, get the recoiless upgrade,
and shred any tanks that come by with it. I also abuse the supply drops
from time to time. Alternatively, infantry path is good too because
rangers supported by halftrack can raise a lot of hell to the convoys, but
it takes longer to field the rangers on the ground.
05. To inflict the maximum casualties for the Axis, pay attention on the axis
convoy patterns. Then proceed with an upgraded Halftrack, your starting
wolverine, and your sherman. Bring along infantries to support the heavy
vehicles. Also have an engineer to tag along with your heavy vehicles to
fix them in between attacks. Rinse and repeat for most of the convoys. Do
not worry about the upper half of the map because unless you slowly clean
out the axis defenses, it would be suicidal for your heavy vehicles to
venture north.
06. Gradually capture the bridge, slowly sweeping from bottom to top. The
Germans will keep on retreating until you close the line at least once.
In other words, if you want to earn the Medal of Honor in this mission,
keep the line open until you've reached a good 80-90% of your quota.
The AI allies will capture the points on their own, so keep an eye on them
as well.
07. A general strategy is to have 2 squads of rifle infantry to capture the
points and bridges, while leave your rangers with the rest of your tanks/
halftrack to intercept the convoys. If your rifles get pinned our get into
messy situations, call them off and bring one of your shermans to the
rescue. You should have build two shermans by now, so they can take turns
in getting pounded.
08. If you have spare ammo, take your sniper to the top left area and conduct
a bombing run on the axis base. Do this after you reach a good 60% of your
quota so you don't run out of bad guys to shoot if you're gunning for the
medal.
09. Keep an eye for red flares, because that would be axis artillery barrage.
If you see them on the ground, get clear ASAP, unless you want to see
allied chop suey served on your lap.
10. After you close the pocket, you will return to the map screen. The next
objective is to defend against the axis final counterattack. There gonna
be tons of panzers raining down on your ass, so consolidate your surviving
forces and deal with them one by one. But if you happen to make them bunch
up together, send in the bombers to take care of them in one fell swoop.
Once the panzers are toast, mission accomplished.
Medal Earned: Medal of Honor
