Mission 1: Fiery Foothold

The Hill Trenches

Initial Force: 8 x Machine Gunners, 2 x AT Soldiers, 18 x SMG Soldiers, 4 x Riflemen-divided into four squads

Objectives:

• Capture the German positions in the hills
• Hold the positions

Summary

You have two anti-tank squads and two machine gun squads. While your allies attack the German trenches on the left and right flanks, advance between the trench on the left flank and the trench on the hill to the right of it. Come in behind the enemy trench and clear it.

Capture the anti-tank gun and mortar. Use them to clear the trenches to the right and clear them one at a time in order. While half of your squads attack from the left, the other two squads can attack from the front, forcing the enemy to divide their attention.

Before clearing out the last trench, to the left of the right flank trench, set up anti-tank guns and other defenses to repel a counter-attack from the north. Get your troops into trenches. Destroy all of the German tanks, halftracks, and scout vehicles on the map.

The Main German Positions

Reinforcements: 1 x AT Soldier, 7 x SMG Soldiers

Objectives:

• Capture the trenches
• Eliminate the German artillery
• Neutralize the German AA guns

Summary

Clear out the trench on the left flank. Capture the anti-tank gun and use it to clear the first rear German trench on the left side of the map. Advance an anti-tank gun and troops along the left edge of the map to get behind the German AA guns and destroy them in order to get an air strike. Destroy or capture the anti-tank guns in the German main positions.

Complete the mission by clearing out all of the German trenches. Be sure to attack them from the rear or flanks instead of the front.
