Both flags are in exposed, open areas but the Axis flag definitely takes the cake for being a difficult capture. If you can grab the flag and get it out of the frozen stream, you’ll have a good chance of getting it home. However, the open nature of the surrounding area, in addition to the verticality provided by the bridge, make this a hard flag to steal when guarded properly.
You can reach the Allied flag with relative ease if—and it’s a big if—you can dislodge defenders from both the bunker and the western corner of the map, right behind the flag. That’s why it’s incredibly important for Allied players to hold the bunker and have defensive positions that allow them a good view of the surrounding area.
With a flag in your possession, race it to the nearest enclosed area (Ruins if you have the Axis flag, back into the bunker for the Allies flag). Make your way toward the middle, then use that route to return to the base. Just keep your eyes peeled for flanks.
