Mission 3 - Icy Laver

Along the River

Initial Force: 1 x Machine Gunners, 3 x SMG Soldiers, 3 x Riflemen, 1 x AT Soldier, 2 x Mortars

Objectives:

• Destroy the German positions at the river
• Interfere the German column

Summary

Move your mortars and infantry squad into the brush to the left of the German trench. Bombard the trench with mortar rounds and use your infantry to protect the mortars from German counter-attacks.

Advance your entire force down the frozen river, using the banks for cover. Set up an ambush near the bridge at the left edge of the map.

As the German column arrives, bombard it with mortars and mow down the German infantry with your own infantry. Avoid damaging the two anti-tank guns since you will need them for the rest of the mission.

Clearing the Village

Objectives:

• Destroy as many German guns as possible before the offensive launch
• Drive the Germans out of the village

Summary

From the bridge, advance along the left side of the map and clear out the two trenches at the left end of the German line. Use your mortars and anti-tank guns to knock out the enemy machine guns.

Set up your anti-tank guns near the crossroads so that you can destroy the Hummel self-propelled howitzers. Then, ambush the column of German tanks that move into the village.

Work your way through the village, approaching enemy tanks and anti-tank guns from behind. Use anti-tank guns to destroy those while your infantry protects your guns from the German infantry.

Once all enemy tanks and guns have been destroyed, call for the offensive. Position your anti-tank guns to cover roads leading into the village so they can engage any German reinforcements.

You also receive extra infantry and mortars across the river. Use these to help support your offensive and clear out any Germans in the trenches.
