Initial Force: 2 x T34/85 Medium Tanks, 1 x SU-85 Tank Destroyer, 1 x SdKfz 251/1 Half-track, 1 x GAZ-67B Car, 1 x 76mm Field Gun, 1 x Sniper, 1 x Machine Gunner, 3 x SMG Soldiers, 5 x Riflemen, 1 x Officer

Objectives:

• Recon the bridge area situation and determine the number of enemies
• Eliminate the bridge guards and capture the reinforced positions in front of the bridge
• Secure the bridge and defeat all German attempts to break the encirclement

Summary

There are three parts to this mission. The first is to recon the bridge. Send your scout car through the woods and across the river at the ford. Then, move a single soldier towards the bridge until he has completed the recon.

Send a tank across the ford to clear the other side of the river, and position your tank destroyer near the ford so that it can destroy the sole German tank in the village.

Then, move the remainder of your force through the village from the south, clearing it of enemies as you go.

After the bridge is secure, quickly move all of your units to the southern side of the bridge. Several waves of German armor and infantry will approach to attack.

Keep your tanks safe, and target the sides of enemy tanks where their armor is weaker. Destroy all German tanks to complete the mission.
