- Every map is fragmented on sectors (you can see them in full zoom out) with digits on them. This numbers show how many deployment points (they are use to buy new units) you can gather in a few seconds. The higher digit the better, for example if you capture sector with number 3 you will gain 3 points in a few seconds, but only 1 if you control sector with number 1.

- In the fringe sectors (these with arrows) you can buy units. If you don't control that kind of area you won't be able to do that.

- All units required supply (repairs, ammo and fuel). You can supply troops near special vehicles (trucks, choppers) and near special bases called FOB (they have much more supply points than mobile units). Never forget about logistic.

- In the campaigns destroyed units don't transfer to next missions. For example if you unlock tank T-72 and there are 8 units in the pool and enemy will destroy 3 of them then in the next mission you will be able to buy only 5. So it's very important to minimize loses and sometimes it's good to load game instead of let enemy to decimate your troops. By the way - save game as often as you can!

- During the fight units get experience. Thanks to that they can shoot faster and more accurate and they don't panic so fast as new ones. It's very important to take care of veteran troops because they transfer to next missions. And if you are able to but experienced panzer group at the beginning of the mission your life will be much easier.

- Think and remember about some basic rules. If enemy has captured the city with infantry don't attack it with tanks. Instead shoot defenders with artillery or mortars. Attack enemy tanks from range with gunships or tanks destroyer (or other units with AT rockets). Don't send infantry on the open ground. Hide it in forests and towns where soldiers are very dangerous for every kind of troops. To eliminate enemy air units use AA infantry and vehicles and destroy opponent's artillery with gunships.

- Before you unlock some unit read theirs characteristics. For example instead unlocking tank destroyer with poor armor it's better to buy tank with rocket launcher (T-80A for example) which will be great in long and close range duels.

Clear the plateau Charlie (4)

Now you can complete all tasks with one maneuver, but it's important NOT to finish task Move command group at the crossroad Echo for a while (so don't send any command vehicle at the crossroad). Buy new tanks and recon vehicle and move these units to the east, where eliminate some tanks [7] (picture below) and command vehicles standing in the forest.

Remember that you can always repair damage machines, just call some supply trucks from captured FOB [4]. Take you panzer army and move it to the north [8]. You will find here some enemy tanks and tanks destroyers, but you can easily fight with them after taking control on FOB [9] (picture below). When the area is clear move command vehicle at the crossroad. In this way you will compete all tasks and the mission will end.

Move command group at the crossroad Echo (2)

Before you complete this task read description of task above. If you move your command vehicle at the crossroad before you take down enemies on the plateau you will have to counter enemy's attack on flanks and in the centre. If you decide on this option place on your flanks and in the centre at least 4 tanks and recon (in every defensive sector), counter enemy attacks and don't let him to get to the crossroad [4].

Hold crossroad Echo with command units (2) - additional

You can't admit enemy to capture the crossroad [4]. More details about that you will find in descriptions above - Clear the plateau Charlie and Move command group at the crossroad Echo.

Legend:

[1] - starting position

[2] - Mittelhausen (infantry)

[3] - Wolferstedt and FOB (infantry, tanks T-62)

[4] - FOB capture by enemy (tanks T-55 and T-72)

[5] - enemy's command vehicle on the hill in sector Alpha

[6] - Nienstedt

[7] - Russian HQ in Allstedt (infantry, tanks T-62, T-55)

[8] - German HQ in Gatterstadt

[9] - sector Charlie (tanks T-72, T-55, APCs, AA Shilka vehicles, infantry)

Clear the Mittelhausen foreground (2)

You are starting with two FOBs and little army on south [1]. As you can see you have artillery, which has great range and it's can be very useful during attacks (don't let your units get into striking distance). Buy 8 tanks, some recon vehicles, 4 infantry groups and two supply choppers. Start moving toward Mittelhausen [2], little town in the west. On the way and near the city you will encounter some enemies (picture below), but with two panzer groups you will eliminate them quickly. Don't attack the town with tanks. Instead disembark infantry and use it to capture the city.

Continue northward and capture FOB near the road [4]. Use your army to create defensive position and counter enemy tanks (picture below).

Clear the Wolferstedt foreground (2)

Now create second panzer group with the same units, as the previous one. Buy 8 tanks, recon vehicles and 4 infantry squads and move them toward Wolferstedt in the east [3]. Capture it identically as Mittelhausen. Eliminate defensive around the city and get into the town with infantry. Don't forget to take northern FOB [5].

Destroy Russian HQ in Allstedt (3) - additional

Create new army (it can be similar to previous ones) and move it to the east bank. Start heading north and eliminate all enemies on your road. Don't forget to resupply units by choppers. Capture two enemy towns: Nienstedt [6] and Allstedt [7] where you will have to beat a strong defense (picture below). Remember to shooting with all your tanks at once, which will provide you a great firepower. At the end eliminate enemy command car.

Destroy German HQ in Gatterstadt (3) - additional

Take squad from Mittelhausen, buy some more tanks and start heading toward Gatterstadt [8] in the north. Repeat old tactic i.e. use recon units to detect enemies and eliminate them with all your tanks at once (picture below). To complete this task you have to destroy command vehicle.

Secure airbase's infrastructure (4)

done additional missions earlier, because you can attack the airfield [9] from Allstedt in the east [7] and from Gatterstadt from the west [8]. Eliminate enemies on the foreground and attack the airfield (picture below). It's good idea to buy some AA vehicles or infantry, because you will encounter some choppers near your main target. When you clear the area capture sector with command vehicle.

Legend:

[1] - starting position near bridge

[2] - FOB

[3] - French outpost

[4] - American outpost

[5] - enemy's assault from the west (tanks T-34/85, T-55, T-64, T-72)

[6] - enemy's assault from the north-east (tanks T-34/85, T-55, tanks destroyers Malyutka)

[7] - enemy's assault from the north (tanks , choppers Mi-8 and Mi-24)

Hold the bridge for 20 minutes (3)

In this mission your primary objective is to hold bridge [1] and don't let enemy to capture it. Start buying tanks (veterans from previous missions are great), combat choppers and recon vehicles. Place one of them on the left flank and the second one on the right flank. You also have supply choppers, you can resupply them safely in FOB in the east [2]. At the beginning enemy will attack you with small panzer groups from west [5], west north [7] and east north [6]. Just move your tanks to place where they will be able to crush enemy quickly. Watch out on enemy choppers and eliminate them with AA vehicles or your own helicopters (picture below). Remember to buying new units to reinforce your defensive lines.

It's very important because in time enemy will attack with more units (picture below). Also don't forget to resupply old units in order to reduce damages. You will need quite a few units in later part of the mission.

Hold on the French outpost until signed peace treaty (4) - additional

Around 10 minute you will receive information from French outpost on the north-west [3]. Your allies will be attacked by Russians (mainly choppers and some land units) so if you want to help them send them earlier some tanks and AA vehicles (picture below).

Hold on the American outpost until signed peace treaty (4) - additional

After 10 minutes you will receive information from Americans in the north-east [4]. You can help them to protect from Russians by send them earlier 6-8 tanks and gunships (you can also buy some AA infantry or vehicles). Americans will be attacked by lots of tanks (picture below) but with choppers you should crush their forces.

Hold on until signed peace treaty (4)

After 20 minutes of defense you will have to hold bridge for about 7 additional minutes. In this time enemy will assault you with lots of tanks and some choppers from every direction. You will gain some infantry troops. Send them to the nearby bushes and start eliminating approaching enemy. Remember to take armies from French and American outposts and use them in defense lines (picture below). This is the last mission in the campaign so you don't have to save units at all costs. After 7 minutes enemy will finally give up the attacks.

Save more than 100 deployment points (3) - additional

If you want to complete this task you must have about 40 deployment points after 20 minutes of defense (in other case you won't have to enough time to gather required amount of them). You also have to protect your command vehicle and hold sector with bridge. If enemy destroy it you won't be given any new points.

Legend:

[1] - starting position

[2] - sector Dmitri

[3] - FOB in sector Boris

[4] - bridge

[5] - defensive line

[6] - FOB and second defensive line

[7] - loyalist in sector Leonid

[8] - enemy's artillery

[9], [10], [11] - mainly directions of enemy's attacks

Get to the loyalist before they defeated (2)

You are starting on south [1]. Buy 8 tanks T-72, 2 recon vehicles, some gunships and start moving your army (without command cars and artillery) to the north. During your journey along the road eliminate all encounter enemies. In the meantime send one command car to the Dmitri [2] and Boris [3] sectors, which will provide you additional deployment points. You can also supply units in the FOB in the Boris sector. Continue toward the bridge [4]. Don't cross it, instead stand on near it and start shooting down approaching enemies (picture below) (you can use artillery to help your troops). Watch out for the bridge in the east because some enemy tanks will cross it.

During fights buy new tanks (mostly T-72 and T-80) and send them on the battlefield. When you defeat enemy in the area cross the bridges and place panzer groups at the nearby lowland [5] and send part of the forces to capture FOB [6] in the north. Reinforce your armies and send some troops to the allies in the north [7] (you can send even a chopper). In this way you will gain control over new units.

Get to the loyalists in less then 20 minutes (3) - additional

It's lots of time so you don't even hurry up too much. The best moment to group with allies is after capture the lowland [5] and FOB [6]. You should done this easily in 15 minutes, after that just send some unit to the army in the north [7].

Defend sector Leonid for 15 minutes (4)

If you have 8 tanks on lowland [5], 4 next near FOB [6] and they are support by recon vehicles and choppers then it will be a piece of cake because you will be able to eliminate enemy forces approaching from the east [9]. Just place troops near the road and start shooting into opponent (picture below). Remember to resupply units and buying new ones.

After meet with allies it's good idea to organize defense lines. Firstly gather all AA ZSU vehicles in one place (in this way you will quickly destroy any enemy chopper). Land units send to place between center of the base and bridge in the west [11]. Now you will easily destroy any opponent who try to cross the bridge (picture below). On the east flank [10] send all nearby units to local FOB where they will be able to defend more efficient. South is protecting by tanks on lowland so now you just have to control you units, buying new ones and shooting enemy targets with artillery.

Destroy enemy's artillery (3) - additional

Some time after meet with allies you will be shooting by artillery in the west [8]. You can easily destroy it by some gunships, just send them over forest and shoot down your target (picture below). Attack artillery after cannonade, because if you do it earlier you will encounter enemy AA units.

Legend:

[2] - sector Center (APCs OT-64, tanks T-62)

[3] - western bridge and enemy's assault (tanks T-55, recon vehicles and APCs OT-64)

[4] - eastern bridge and enemy's assault (tanks T-62, T-55)

[5] - lowland behind the hill

[6] - refinery's foreground (tanks T-62, T-64, recon vehicles with rockets launchers, APCs OT-64)

Capture sector Center (3)

You are starting in [1]. Create army consists of: 8 tanks T-80, some recon vehicles and two gunships. Take group and start moving north eliminate all encounter enemies. When you get nearby city in Center sector [2] don't attack enemies inside town but detect them using recon groups and eliminate them from distance (you can also use infantry to capture town or use artillery to enervate opponent's defense). When area is clear capture it with command car.

Defend sector Center (2)

Now you will have to hold the city for some time. It's a good moment to buy tanks (you should have 3-4 full panzer groups). Place two groups on the western hill. From that point you will be able to shooting down enemies who tries to cross both bridges [3], [4] (picture below).

Place some tanks near town because enemy can attack you from east and from south. It's good idea to buy 2 supply choppers and 4 Flakpanzers and send them to army near town. In some moment you will be attacked by enemy choppers so destroy them with AA weapon or wait until they come close to tanks in forest (picture below). After few minutes enemy's assault will stop.

Free captured soldiers (1) - additional

Soldiers are in the building [3] beyond western bridge. Eliminate all enemies in the area (you can use choppers but watch out on infantry with rockets). If they hide in the building shoot it down by tanks or artillery. When you complete this task you will gain control over few infantry squads.

Clear enter area to the refinery (3)

After attack quickly regroup army. It should consists of: 4 full panzer groups, few recon vehicles, 2 gunships, 2 supply helicopters and 4 Flakpanzers. Move them across western bridge [3]. In the meantime you can send to the town some tanks and artillery. Back to your army, move them across hill and start heading toward lowland [5] (avoid road on the east) in front of the forest. After a while enemy will attack you from north and east. On the first line place your tanks and behind them rest of the army and supply choppers which will constantly resupply units. With this tactic (you can also reinforce main units with artillery) you will quickly beat opponents. In some moment enemy chopper will income, destroy them with your AA (picture below).

Resupply army and start heading toward your aim [6]. Use recon vehicles and choppers to detect enemies and eliminate them with tanks. Be careful near forests where opponents is hiding lots of units (picture below). If enemy will hide between trees don't chase him, instead wait until he will get out. When you get rid of the all opponents in the area the mission will end.

Complete the last task in less than 30 minutes (4) - additional

You have to complete mission in less than 30 minutes. If you capture sector Center and counter enemy offensive in 16-17 minutes you should accomplish this task without any problems if you read description of main task (Clear enter area to refinery) above. The most important is to attack western flank (through bridge, hill and lowland) without getting into fight with enemy units on the road.

Legend:

[1] - starting position

[2] - western area of refinery

[3] - northern part of the refinery

[4] - sector Gregory (tanks destroyers Malyutka, tanks T-62, APC OT-64)

[5] - eastern part of the refinery (AA vehicles, tanks T-64)

[6] - sector Fedor

[7] - hill (sector Ivan) (tanks destroyers ZHALO, recon vehicles PT-76, tanks T-55)

[8] - sector Leonid (APCs OT-64, AT infantry, tanks T-62)

[9] - sector Constantine (tanks T-80, infantry, APCs OT-64, choppers HOG)

Secure sector Gregory in the refinery (3)

Your starting point [1] is in the south bank of the river just beyond the bridge. Firstly create army consists of: 8 tanks T-80, 2 gunships, recon vehicle and AA Shilkas (they are available from beginning of the mission). Get across the bridge and star heading west [2] (keep distance from buildings in refinery where are soldiers with anti-tank weapons). Use forest as cover for units and eliminate opponents (picture below).

Get to the northern part of the refinery [3] and start heading to the centre [4] eliminating all encounter enemies. If you have any problems with choppers you can always buy AA vehicle with greater fire range than Shilka (i.e. ZSU 57). When you clear the area capture sector with command vehicle and you will complete this task. Before done this it's good idea to capture eastern part of the refinery (and complete additional task Clear the rest of the refinery) and set defensive line in the north consists of: tanks, recon vehicles, choppers, AA and various infantry types (AA, AT, normal) placed in nearby buildings.

Capture the refinery without using artillery (3) - additional

It's not difficult task. Just follow above tactics and you won't need any artillery.

Clear the rest of the refinery (2) - additional

After capture sector Gregory create new army consists of tanks, recon vehicles and AA units (if you don't have enough deployment points you can use part of forces from main army) and move them to the eastern part [5] of the refinery. It's good to clear the foreground (picture below) before you enter to the sector [6]. When you get rid of the enemies place infantry in local buildings and capture the area with command vehicle.

Destroy enemy's HQs in sectors: Ivan, Leonid and Constantine (5)

After capture sector Gregory [4] buy new units and send them near the north entrance to the refinery just near local FOB. Place infantry in nearby buildings and reinforce army with tanks, recon groups and AA units. Buy also some choppers which will help you in fight with tanks as well as destroying enemy's artillery. Counter enemy's assaults from north (picture below) and in the same time create new army consists of tanks, recon vehicles and AA units (especially Osa). You can also buy some artillery.

When new group is ready send it to the hill in Ivan sector in the north-west [7]. Before assault cannonade this place by artillery and use chopper to eliminate enemy artillery (attack from south where opponent's defensive line is very weak).

When you are ready send land troops to attack hill from the south (picture below). During the assault your army will be probably attacked by choppers so eliminate them with AA units. After fight capture this sector with command vehicle. This place will give you not only additional deployment points but also possibility to call reinforcements straight on the hill. Reinforce defensive positions on hill and resupply units by supply choppers.

 

When you are read use artillery and choppers to attack enemy's defensive lines near town in Leonid sector [8]. After that attack city with land troops (picture below) and capture it. Now you only have to destroy command vehicle in Constantine sector [9]. In this moment you should have enormous advantage so it won't be any problem.

[3] - enemy's attack from the west (tanks T-34/85, AMX-30B2, recon vehicles AMX-10 with cannons, tanks destroyers Milan, infantry)

[4] - enemy's attack from the east (recon vehicles OT-65, tanks T-35/85

[5] - FOB in sector Center

[6] - sector Fedor

[7] - hill in sector Elena

Secure sector Elena (4)

You are starting in the south [1]. Create 8 T-80 tanks and send them with recon to the Boris sector [2]. Watch out especially for infantry hiding in bushes, eliminate it as fast as you can (picture below). Once you've clear the area capture it with command chopper and send AA, AT and normal infantry to nearby forests.

In the same time quickly organize defensive in the east [4] of base. Move AT and normal infantry to the forests and reinforce soldiers with some tanks. With this units you will counter small enemy's assaults. The bigger army will approach from the west [3] so place there panzer groups. In the forest in the west of sector Boris place AT and AA infantry. They are great weapon to destroy incoming tanks (picture below). Of course don't forget about some tanks and choppers.

In the meantime buy 8 new tanks, some recon and AA vehicles. Send them to the Center sector [5] (on the way watch out for infantry hiding in forests). When you get to the FOB (picture below) capture it and call command vehicle to take control over region.

Buy some AA units, tanks, infantry and recon and capture FOB in Fedor sector [6]. Now start heading north toward hill [7]. Detect enemy units with recon teams (choppers are great to this task) and eliminate them with tanks and gunships. You can also eliminate defenders with artillery (picture below). When you clear the hill capture it with command vehicle.

Don't lose more than 10 units (6) - additional

Use tactic described in task Secure sector Elena and just watch out for your units. When they get damaged repair them and don't let them attack enemy positions without recon. If something go wrong remember that you can always load game.

Eliminate rapid reaction force (3) - additional

After capture sector Boris [2] quickly send AT infantry, gunships and tanks to the small forest in the west. Now you only have to wait a few moments and eliminate all enemy units which will income from west (picture below).

Legend:

[5] - attacks from the west (gunships, recon vehicles with AT rockets)

[6] - attacks from the east (infantry, tanks T-62, T55)

[7] - chopper with castaways

[8] - sector Fedor

Buy and evacuate as many units as you can in 40 minutes (3)

Untypical mission in which you can't lose but it can have great impact on next mission in which you will be able to buy only units which get to the escaped zone in this task. You are starting in three places [1], [2], [3]. Enemy will attack from west [5] (mainly choppers, tanks and recon vehicles with AT rockets) and from east [6] (tanks T-35/85, T-55, tanks destroyers and infantry in APCs). Capture Fedor sector [8] by command vehicle escorted by tanks and AA units. Then create two groups of T-80 tanks and send them to the north-western sector. Capture FOB and create defensive line near it (picture below). Also place group of tanks near FOB in the south where enemy will send some single units.

Reinforce your eastern flank with some tanks (there is big forest so you can buy vehicle with flamethrower), place them near FOB and eliminate approaching enemies (picture below). If you have any problems with defense buy some gunships and send them to hot zones. It's also good idea to send some AT (to the east) and AA (to the west) infantry to the local forests. Look after units and resupply them in FOBs or by supply vehicles.

When defensive lines are ready start buying new units and send them to the north [4]. They will be automatically evacuated from battlefield when they reach Ivan sector (units' color will change from red to orange) and you won't be able to control them anymore in this mission. To the evacuated zone you should send especially tanks (T-80, T-72), gunships, artillery and AA, infantry and recon choppers. About 7 minutes before countdown's end take all units from battlefield and send them to the evacuation zone. Remember that 40 minutes is only time for you. If you want you can send all troops to the north at the beginning of the mission and you will win very quickly but you won't have big chance to replay this success in next mission.

Evacuate more than 75% of survivors (6) - additional

If you save lots of units in previous missions you will have a big problem in complete this task. Why? Because you have to send to the evacuation zone more than 75% of ALL troops in arsenal. For example if you have 150 units in pot you must evacuate more than 112 of them. So in some cases (too big army in arsenal) this can be unbeatable owing to lack of time and deployment points. Then the only way to complete this task is back to the previous missions and let enemy to destroy lots of units in your arsenal.

Rescue people who survive the catastrophy (4) - additional

After 10 minutes you will receive information about crash of the chopper with soldiers in the north-east [7]. Send them any unit (picture below) and you will quickly finish this task and gain control over some soldiers.

[9] - direction of enemy's attack in last 10 minutes of defending the town (tanks Abrams and Pattons)

[10] - directions of enemy's attacks after secure the sector (tanks AMX 30B2, recon vehicles Sagaie)

Eliminate all enemy's units in Zidneves in 15 minutes (2)

In this task you have access only to units evacuated in the previous mission. You are starting on south [1]. Buy 5 tanks T-80 and send them with recon vehicle, some AA, two choppers and command car to sector Jot [2] in the west. Eliminate all opponents in the area, capture it and place army near FOB. From now on you will have to defend against T-72 tanks and rocket vehicles OT-64. Now buy 7 T-80 tanks and send them with new recon helicopter and gunships to the north. Eliminate all encounter enemy units (picture below). Capture FOB [3] in the east (near it you can place artillery which can provide you additional firepower during assault). Continue toward city Zidneves [5] and eliminate all enemy units nearby it. After that get inside the town and get rid of the defenders. In this way you will complete this task.

End game with higher score than NATO in 20 minutes (4)

Now you will have to defend the city for 20 minutes. Enemy will attack mainly with Leopard tanks, Marders with rockets, some Chieftains and later groups of Abrams. Attack will follow from north [7] so place T-80 tanks near FOB and eliminate units detected by recon (picture below). Your main target should be enemy's artillery - to destroy it use choppers and artillery. In the meantime buy new tanks and choppers and send them to the town.

At the end of countdown enemy's assault will be more and more dangerous. He will also attack from the east [10] so it's good idea to have lots of gunships which will be able to eliminate French tanks AMX. If you have problems in the north quickly send troops to the second FOB which is placed in the west side of the city (picture below). You can also buy new units and gather armies from sectors that you had to defend for some time. When the countdown ends the mission will end.

Clear the enemy's reinforce sector (4) - additional

After capture the town take some choppers and send them to the north flying along road in the west near edge of the map. In that way you will avoid AA units (but watch out for other enemy's units) and you easily get to the indicated sector [6]. Destroy command car and you will complete this task.

Control sector Leonid for 7 minutes (2) - additional

While capturing Zidneves send your choppers to Leonid sector [4]. Eliminate all enemy's tanks and capture it with command vehicle. From capture Zidneves you will have to control this area for 7 minutes. At the beginning it won't be attacked but later 4 Abrams and 4 Patton tanks will approach from north [9]. Eliminate them with gunships before they get to the command vehicle and you will complete this task.

Control sector Jot for 13 minutes (2) - additional

Eliminate enemies in the area and capture this sector [2] at the beginning of the mission (you will take it easily with 5 T-80 tanks, 2 gunships, some AA, command car and recon vehicle). Place units near FOB and counter opponent's assaults [8] (mainly tanks: Leopard, Chieftain and some Marders with long range rockets). Enemy may also send some choppers so don't forget about AA.

Get to the sector where allies are regrouping (6)

Regroup army [1] (leave behind command vehicles and artillery) and send them to the first FOB [2] in the north. Capture it counter some small assaults (picture below) and resupply units. Take tanks and recon vehicles and move them to the west where you will have to fight with enemy's units. You can also get to the south [3] where opponent's artillery is standing. If you destroy it you will complete additional task Destroy enemy's artillery.

After that start heading to the next FOB [4] which is near road. Eliminate nearby enemies and capture it. Resupply units and start moving to the west (try to stay near forests and avoid the road where you will be an easy target for opponent). Attack and capture next FOB [5]. Once the area is clear American troops will join to you and you will complete additional task Join with Americans in the south. Now you have two options - you can continue with all your troops (in that variant you can have problems with supply army) or split them on two groups. In first place 8 tanks with recon units, Bradleys and APC with AA infantry. Move them to the east and eliminate any resistance on the road. When you get to the city near crossroad watch out for rocket cannonade (picture below) just fall back units and wait until it stops and after that continue march.

On the curve of the road [6] you will find allied choppers. Take down all local enemies and you will automatically complete additional task Join with Americans in the south. Continue march to the east and capture next FOB [7]. Resupply units and start heading toward town in the north. During trip you will encounter enemy's infantry and combat vehicles. Destroy them from distance (picture below). Watch out especially for choppers and eliminate them with AA infantry.

When you get through the town capture next FOB [8] and join with Germans [9] (in this way you will complete additional task Join with Germans in the north and gain control over some APCs with infantry and tanks destroyers). Continue along the road. The area is filled with enemies so detect them and take down from distance (picture below). Remember to have supply trucks nearby combat units and watch out for enemy's gunships. Eliminate them with AA infantry. After battle continue along the road.

Resupply units and continue along the road capturing next FOB [10]. At the crossroad you will see fight between enemy and allies. Help to crush opponent and you will have clear road to the regroup point [13]. You have to get to this point with all units so it's up to you what do you want to get there with army on the western flank. You can choose safer but longer road on the east flank or decide for shorter but more dangerous west flank. If you decide to take the second option go along the road and eliminate all encounter enemies. Watch out on the terrain near north-west [12] because there is lots of enemy's forces. The best way to deal with them is attack from both directions eastern and southern (picture below). Quickly capture local FOB which make the battle easier. When all units get to the north the mission will end.

Destroy enemy's artillery (3) - additional

After taking first FOB move to the point at the west [5] where you will find enemy's artillery. Destroy it with your tanks (picture below).

Tank up allied choppers (2) - additional

You only have to get to the choppers standing near the curve of the road [6] and eliminate all nearby enemies (picture below).

Join with Germans in the north (2) - additional

After taking the town on the east flank just get to the Germans waiting on the nearby clearing [9]. As reward you will get some APCs with infantry and two tanks destroyer (picture below).

Join with Americans in the south (2) - additional

After capture second FOB [4] move to the west [6]. Move along the forest and when you get to the place eliminate all enemies near FOB. After that you will gain control over Americans units (picture below).

Defend airbase for 25 minutes (6)

You are starting in four places at once - airfield in the south [1] and three hills in the centre of the map: Charlie [3], Foxtrot [2] and Juliett [4]. The most important one is central Foxtrot [2] (at least if you want to complete additional tasks Don't let enemy to get into airbase and Hold on position on the front line). At the beginning buy 4 gunships Cobra, some Leopards, tanks destroyers, AT infantry, recon and supply choppers. You can also but vehicle with mortar (place it at the southern foreground of Foxtrot hill, from this place you will be able easily shooting at enemies). Move army on the central hill [2] and hide it in the forests and bushes. In the same time take all units (without command vehicles) from other two hills and place them at the Foxtrot. When enemy start assaulting from west [5], north [6] and east [7] attack them with land units supporting by choppers and mortars (picture below).

The first attack is the most dangerous so protect central hill at all cost. Watch out especially on infantry units. Don't fight with them in the bushes instead wait until they come on the open ground. Enemy probably will capture western hill (don't bother it) but he shouldn't attack the eastern one (just hide command vehicle in the forest). After assault start patrolling area with choppers and eliminate panzer units (picture below). In the same time support defenders in the Foxtrot with new infantry, tanks and tanks destroyers (or other vehicles with rockets) units.

In the small forests in the east you can place some AT infantry. Remember to resupply your supply choppers (you can do it in the FOB in the east [12]) and send them to the defenders on the hill. You shouldn't have any problems in eliminating small groups of enemies. Just support ground units with gunships (picture below). Don't forget to patrol west and east flanks near the airfield. If you only see opponent's units quickly eliminate them with helicopters.

It's a good idea to buy some tanks (better ones) and send them on the plain [11] near airfield and on the eastern flank [10]. About 7-8 minutes before countdown ends enemy will group on the east flank [9]. Recon that area, attack detected units with mortars and eliminate them with your tanks and choppers when they get close to the airfield. Enemy will make this same maneuver on the west flank [8] but with tanks that you've bought earlier there won't be problem in destroy the enemy (picture below). Of course you can support them with choppers and even some units from Foxtrot hill if the situation will get out of the control. If you want to realize additional task Don't let enemy to get into airbase you can't let the enemy to enter the sector with airfield.

Don't let enemy to get into airbase (4) - additional

You can't let the enemy units to enter the sector with airfield [1]. Description of how to do it is above.

Hold on position on the front line (5) - additional

Description of this task is above in Defend airbase for 25 minutes. You just have to defend Foxtrot hill [2].

[9] - one of the attack direction later in the mission (mainly APCs)

Gather 2000 points (6)

You are starting near the bridge [1]. Buy recon vehicles (two Bradleys and one helicopter), support (2-3 trucks HEMTT) and 2-3 units with mortar. Group with them AA missile launcher Roland, infantry in APCs, all AMX tanks and one command vehicle. This is your first army. Now create the second one consists of: 4 tanks AMX-30B2 and 1 AA Roland. Now move first army to capture hill India [2] (place command car near FOB) and move units to the eastern edge from where they will be able to attack enemies downhill (picture below). Cannonade big groups of enemies with mortars. Main opponent's units will follow along eastern road [5] but be ready to counter assaults from north [6] and later light ones from west [9]. Up to speed repair damage units and support them with gunships.

Simultaneously after mission starts send command vehicles to Romeo [3] and Sierra [4] sectors. In Romeo place second army (AMX tanks and AA Roland) near the bridge and in time send there 4 gunships Cobra and one group of tanks. At the beginning you will be safe but later the enemy will across the bridge [7] in Romeo sector. Then the choppers will income so try to buy some more AA units to destroy them (picture below).

In some moment enemy will across bridge in the east [8]. Until then you should be close to gather 2000 points but just in case patrol this area with choppers and tanks (picture below). It is enough army to stop presumptive assault. Just control three outposts and send them supply or new units and after some period of time you will win.

Defend sector India for 15 minutes (4) - additional

How to do this is described above (Gather 2000 points). In short send on the hill 8 AMX tanks, recon chopper, gunships, 2 Bradleys, 2-3 supply trucks HEMTT, APCs with infantry, some mortars and command vehicle. Place soldiers in the bushes and tanks on the eastern edge. Support land units with gunships. Remember that you have to control hill for 15 minutes from capture it (not from start of the mission) so if you will be close to gather 2000 points before that time than buy some units to extend it. If you gather points before countdown will ends you won't complete this task.

Don't lose any command vehicle (5) - additional

You have to control all outposts and quickly repair every command unit that get damaged.

Destroy HQ on the plateau (6)

You are starting on southern lowland [1]. From the beginning you will have to defend attacks from north [3], north-east [2] and later from west [4]. Enemy will use tanks T-64, recon vehicles with long range rockets, infantry and choppers. In the first line place tanks: AMX and Abrams. Buy 3 long range AA weapon Chaparral (place them near FOB), they are great in destroying gunships from long range. You can also buy some mortar vehicles which are good in cannonade big groups of enemies (picture below). Support troops with choppers and in the forests on the west place AT infantry.

When you've got enough points buy 2 Cobra choppers, 2-3 Abrams and couple of AMX tanks. Send new army to the west toward sector Alpha [5] and eliminate all encounter units. Capture FOB near road and counter enemy's assault and after that place command vehicle in the small forest near FOB and take control over region. Continue moving to the west and eliminate some tanks and AA units. At the end of the road you will approach to enemy's headquarter [6]. Eliminate some tanks (picture below) and command car (in this way you will complete additional task Destroy enemy's panzer HQ and secure your west flank from opponent's assaults). Enemy can try to recapture the sector but with few gunships you will quickly counter this maneuver.

After clear the west flank create new army consists of: at least 4 Abrams, some Bradleys with AT rockets and 3 AA Chaparral vehicles (you can use the experienced ones which were defending the base), some AA Roland and supply (Chinooks helicopters or HEMTT). Move along eastern road toward sector India [7]. During way eliminate lots of enemy's gunships (picture below) and when you get to the sector capture it and continue toward opponent's headquarter [8].

From time to time you can encounter enemy's land units (mainly recon and T-64 tanks) which are easy targets for Abrams. When you get to the sector with HQ remember to resupply AA units because there is lots of gunships in the area. Kill soldiers in local forests (mortars are great to that job) and start moving on the hill (picture below). Capture all supply trucks, FOB and destroy command vehicle.

Regroup and start clearing foreground on the plateau [9] (detect enemy's units and attack with all tanks at once or use mortars (picture below)). Watch on your gunships because there are lots of AA in the area. Once the area is clear just destroy the command vehicle.

Destroy enemy's panzer HQ (3) - additional

You will find description of how to make it above (Destroy HQ on the plateau). In short Once you counter enemy offensive create group consists of: some Abrams and AMX tanks, choppers and recon. Move them to the west, capture FOB [5] and eliminate enemy headquarter [6].

Destroy enemy's HQ airbase (3) - additional

You will find description of how to make it above (Destroy HQ on the plateau). Generally take some Abrams, AA Chaparral and Roland and some supply and recon vehicles and send them to the north-east toward enemy HQ [8]. On the road eliminate lots of choppers, capture FOB [7] and attack HQ where you will find lots of supplies.

Join to defending French units (4) - additional

During assault on the HQ on eastern flank send any unit to the town (picture below) [10] holding by French allies. Once you get there you will gain control over new units (APCs, infantry and tanks destroyers).

Destroy the HQ in order to intercept chopper's airstrip (2)

Your starting point is in the west [1]. Take all troops (except command vehicle) and move north capture FOB [2] which is on your road. Continue along the road killing enemy soldiers hiding in local bushes. Once you get to the forest located near enemy's base move there gunship which will attack opponent's units (picture below). If they enter to the forest eliminate them with infantry.

Now start assaulting enemy HQ [3]. Don't capture FOB near town yet because opponent will destroy it. Instead use tank destroyer to eliminate AA vehicle Shilka and destroy rest of enemy's units with gunship. Resupply it and get rid of the three BMPs located on the west side (picture below). Now move APCs north and capture FOB (in the meantime you can also capture some supply trucks). Now destroy enemy's command vehicle (it might flees).

Destroy enemy's artillery HQ (4)

When you gain control over choppers use them to quickly eliminate car [4] which will try to alarm Russians. After that destroy command car in the local sector [5] and capture FOB [6]. Now start heading south and eliminate all encounter enemies on the road and in the forests [7] (picture below). Resupply gunships and continue journey due south toward town [8]. Near buildings is AA Tunguska so attack it quickly with all choppers.

Eliminate infantry in the town [8] and all nearby units. After that capture FOB [9], resupply units and start heading due east [10]. Fly as close to the south edge of map as it possible. After a while you will detect command car (picture below). Destroy it with couple of shots.

Don't let to alarm the Russian troops (2) - additional

After capture airbase [3] quickly get all choppers and send them toward vehicle [4] which will try to alarm Russians. Destroy it (picture below) and you will complete this task.

You are starting south [1]. Buy 2 Leopards, some T-62 in better versions and place troops in the southern forest. It's good defensive point where you can attack enemies which will show on foreground. Take gunships and send them due north-east [2]. Destroy enemy artillery and other units in the area (picture below). When you get rid of them you will complete additional task Constrain captain Luwikin to desertion. As a reward you will be given 3 T-80 tanks and choppers: recon and command.

Move troops due north toward FOB [3]. Eliminate nearby infantry hiding in bushes and destroy choppers with your own gunships. Resupply army and move north heading HQ [8]. When you get to the open ground eliminate all nearby enemies (watch out for opponent's artillery cannonade). Once you are ready cannonade enemy's HQ with rocket launcher Buratino (picture below) and after that assault the town.

Unveil area with recon chopper (watch out for enemy's AA Tunguska) and attack HQ with land army. Eliminate all enemies near town (picture below) and inside it and the mission will end.

Constrain captain Luwikin to desertion (2) - additional

At the beginning of the mission take choppers and move them due north-east [2]. Avoid enemy units and when you get on place destroy all opponents in the area. As a reward you will be given 3 tanks T-80 and two choppers: recon and command.

Destroy enemy's artillery (4) - additional

Enemy's artillery is in three places up north [5], [6], [7] but if you get close to them they will change theirs positions. Good way to quickly destroy them is send one chopper up north along western bay and capture FOB [4]. In this way you will gain control over 6 T-80 tanks. Support them with gunships and you should quickly get to the artillery and eliminate it. Along the road watch out for enemies especially tanks T-72 and vehicles with rockets.

[11] - NATO's main forces (about 8 gunships, Marders and tanks Leopard with command vehicles and infantry)

Destroy the Warsaw Pact's main forces (3)

You are starting near southern part of the river [1]. Buy 7 tanks T-80 in B or A versions and 4 gunships Mi-24 (models P or V). Place three tanks near western bridge and send infantry to the forest. Rest of the army move witch choppers and recon helicopter due east (in the same time use command vehicles to capture two sectors: Vasily [2] and Visky [3]). Place tanks in front of the eastern bridge and use gunships to destroy enemy units on the other side of the bank [4] (picture below).

Once you've destroyed main enemy forces move tanks across the bridge and eliminate survivors. Then move army due north, destroy enemy artillery and capture FOBs near city [5]. In the meantime NATO forces will attack you from western bridge, but if you have placed there tanks and infantry you will easily take them down (picture below).

When you get rid of the enemy on the eastern flank resupply units and continue north. Once again use choppers to clear the area and eliminate survivors with tanks. Watch out for gunships which can fly from west. Take them down with choppers or AA. Near main enemy's fortifications [7] you will encounter AA vehicles Shilka and T-80 tanks. Eliminate them from distance with gunships (picture below). After that move tanks to that area and capture FOB. You can also eliminate command vehicle which is in north-eastern sector.

Destroy the NATO's main forces (3)

After you eliminate enemy's forces on eastern flank start moving west toward sector Ivan [8]. On the road you will have to destroy two Shilkas and some T-80 tanks. To quickly capture Ivan sector use command chopper. In this way you will be able to call reinforcement from north. Buy 4 tanks T-80, some AA vehicles (Osa and Shilka) and 4 artilleries (leave it in sector Ivan with some tanks). Take rest of the army, move them across the western bridge and eliminate some enemy units (picture below) on the other bank.

Move across next bridge to the west and eliminate infantry in town [10]. Then use recon units to detect NATO forces in their main base [11]. After that shoot them down with artillery (picture below). When you destroy most of them use tanks to eliminate survivors. Once you've clear the sector the mission will end.

Control sector Jacob for 30 minutes (3) - additional

If you want to complete both additional tasks then you have to capture sector Jacob [6] at the latest in 22-23 minute. If you do this later you won't be able to accomplish Complete the mission in 55 minutes. Good moment to capture that is sector is right after take control of eastern flank [5] (you can capture it in less then 20 minutes). Owing to that enemy won't be able to attack you from the east. To capture sector send there 3 T-80 tanks, recon chopper (you may also use some gunships) and 3 groups of infantry in APCs. Enemy doesn't have many troops here (couple of APCs, T-72 tanks and some infantry) so you should quickly eliminate him (picture below). After that place units in forest and capture sector.

Complete the mission in 55 minutes (4) - additional

You will make it easily if you proceed quickly and done everything like in above tasks (Destroy the Warsaw Pact's main forces and Destroy the NATO's main forces). Also if you want complete additional task Control sector Jacob for 30 minutes and you've captured it about 20 minutes after start then wait with destroying NATO forces until countdown will end. Why? Because if you eliminate both enemies and you won't control this sector for required 30 minutes you won't complete the second task.

If you use this tactic you will easily complete two additional tasks (Accomplish mission in less than 15 minutes and Eliminate enemy's AA defense). If you don't want to accomplish them do the same things but leisurely. You are starting on south-west [1]. Buy 8 tanks T-72A, 2 gunships Mi-24P (the more experienced the better for you), recon chopper, 2 APCs with AT infantry and one recon vehicle. Send 4 tanks T-72 with APCs and recon to the east near bridge [2]. Move choppers to the north and eliminate all encounter enemies (picture below). Once you've clear the area capture FOB [3].

In the meantime you will be attacked by enemy from east [4]. If you have placed tanks and AT infantry near bridge you won't have any problems in counter enemy's offensive (picture below). Quickly capture sector Leonid [3] and Jot [5]. In the meantime you will be attacked by Gazelle choppers. They are equipped only with machineguns so you can easily take them down with tanks.

Resupply gunships, buy two more and send them in the area near bridge in the north. Use recon helicopter to detect enemy's units and quickly attack them (picture below). Enemy has got lots of AMX tanks, APCs and recon vehicles so shoot them down from long range. In the meantime you can buy two more choppers (and resupply the old ones). It's good idea to place T-72 tanks in front of the bridge, they will quickly eliminate all enemies unit which will cross the river. In the same time buy and send 2 supply vehicles HEMTT to the army in the east. Resupply them, move through bridge and start heading north [7]. Along the road you will have to face with small enemy forces.

When you clear the bridgehead in the north move gunships deeply into land and eliminate all survivors. After that send tanks through the bridge. Operate quickly - in one moment destroy three AA positions. In the east [8] attack with T-72 (picture below), in the centre [9] hit with all choppers in the same time (in this way you will minimize losses) and in the west [10] use second group of T-72. At the end eliminate single command car in the north [11].

Send units (with APCs and spetsnaz groups) to the bushes in the west and start eliminating approaching enemies with will attack from west [2]. Destroy tanks with gunships and eliminate survivors with tanks (picture below). Resupply gunships in the FOB near starting point.

Once you counter enemy offensive prepare for second attack from north [3]. Opponent will attack you with lots of Leopard tanks and recon vehicles. Use tactic with gunships and tanks and you won't have any problems to counter the offensive (picture below).

After the battle resupply units and move army to the north toward FOB near the town [4]. Capture it and prepare to eliminate opponents who will income from north and west (picture below). At the end move them to the north and destroy command vehicle [7].

Destroy all WWR batteries (6) - additional

During northern offensive destroy three rockets vehicles WWR [4], [5], [6]. They aren't protected very well so couple of shots (picture below) will quickly destroy them.

Legend:

[1] - western starting position

[2] - southern starting position

[3] - eastern starting position

[4] - place of enemy's land attacks (mainly tanks Abrams and lighter units)

[5] - enemy air units (transport helicopters Blackhawk, gunships Heavy Hog)

[6] - northern enemy's grouping (AA units Chaparral, some Abrams and Leopards)

[7] - sector Elena (some Abrams and recon vehicles Bradley with AT rockets)

Eliminate all enemy units in sector Elena in 40 minutes (6)

You are starting in three points: in the west [1], in the south [2] and in the east [3]. In this mission the most important army is that in the west. But firstly buy some AA infantry and some T-72 and send them to the south (this region will be attacked by gunships and Bradleys with AT rockets). In the west buy 6-8 tanks T-80A, 2-3 Leopards 2A1, 4 gunships Mi-24P, one recon helicopter and some AT infantry. Send choppers and infantry to the eastern edge of the southern forest and move tanks in the open area to the east. When you detect enemy units [4] use gunships to destroy or at least badly damage Abrams. When opponent gets close to you start shooting into him (picture below). Keep HEMTT vehicles behind land units and resupply choppers in the FOB in the west.

After counter the main attack move units to the east and send them some AA units. Move soldiers to the forest in Elene sector and protect them with tanks and gunships. Use recon to detect enemy air forces in the south [5] and eliminate them with AA units (picture below).

Now you can eliminate enemies in the north [6]. There are some heavy tanks and AA rocket launcher. At the end clear sector Elena [7]. You will find here some choppers, Abrams and rocket Bradleys but they won't be a great threat to your army (picture below). When you destroy all opponents in the area the mission will end. You can easily make it in 25-30 minutes.

Defeat the enemy with difference of 6000 points (7) - additional

To complete this task try to save your units at all cost. If you counter the enemy offensive at the beginning of the mission and you don't lose to many vehicles during attack you will gather required difference of points. If you have problems to gather that you can always eliminate enemy units standing in the east of sector Elena (there are lots of them). Remember that if you clear Elena sector and you won't have required margin you won't complete this task.

Legend:

[1] - airfield

[2] - base of AA batteries KUB

[3] - sector Constantine

[4] - sector Gregory (Odiliapell)

[5] - sector Chariton

[6] -enemy's attack on the AA base from southern-west (mainly tanks T-80, recon vehicles with rocket launchers, tanks destroyers ZHALO, later also gunships)

[7] -enemy's attack on the AA base from southern-east (tanks T-72, T-55, T-62, vehicles BRDM, BMP)

[8] - enemy's assaults on the airfield from northern-west (recon vehicles with rockets)

[9] - enemy's assaults on the airfield from north (recon vehicles with rockets, Abrams)

[10] - enemy's attack on the AA base from west (APCs, BTR)

Defend KUB rockets for 20 minutes (4)

Final mission at last. Your task is to repel attacks: in AA missiles KUB base in the south [2] for 20 minutes, at the airbase [1] in the north for 40 minutes. You are starting with lots of deployment points. Buy in the south: 10 tanks T-80B and A, 4 gunships Mi-24P, AA and AT infantry and recon chopper. Seed equal groups in forests in the west, south-west and south-east of the base. Place FOBs near every forest in the area. In the north buy 12 T-80 tanks. Create two equal groups and to each one join also 2 AA and AT infantry groups, 2-3 HEMTT vehicles and 1 command car. In the north airfield buy also more T-80 tanks, AT and AA soldiers, air recon and 3-4 FOBs in the centre of the base. After start take two armies from north and send them to capture sectors: Constantine [3] (you can send command vehicle from KUB base) and Gregory [4] (in this way you will accomplish two additional tasks Capture sector Constantine and Seize Odiliapell). In the second sector you will have to eliminate some infantry in the forest (picture below). The best way to do it is to send tanks on the open area and enter to the forest with other troops. Send also one command vehicle from airfield to capture sector Chariton [5].

In the meantime enemy will attack from south-west [6] and south-east [7]. Support land units witch gunships and you should quickly eliminate opponent's forces (picture below). Supply choppers in the FOBs in the north of the sector (leave the southern ones for ground units).

After a while enemy will attack from north-west [8] so patrol this area and eliminate approaching units (picture below). When you gather some points buy AA vehicles and send the to the airfield in the north (but keep the out of the first defensive line). Now control situations in outposts and support land unit with gunships. From time to time enemy will try to get on the Constantine hill but it will be only small attacks. But some tanks in Chariton sector in the east [5] because command vehicle is easy target for enemies. In that way you will create strong defensive line and you will easily repel most of the enemy attacks also from west [10]. After 20 minutes you will gain control over AA vehicles in south base.

Defend airbase for 40 minutes (6)

Don't change anything in defensive tactic and after 20 minutes LEAVE units in the south [2] on their places. Owing to that you will be able to concentrate only on attacks on airfield from north. Buy some AA units because you will be attack by enemy gunships. Also buy additional tanks which with choppers will repel attacks from north (picture below). Remember to patrol western, southern and eastern part of the airfield because opponent will send them some troops from time to time. Now you have only to hold on for next 20 minutes when mission will end.

Capture sector Constantine (1) - additional

At the beginning of the mission send to the sector [3] 3 HEMTT, 4 tanks T-80, some AA and AT infantry and command vehicles from southern base [2].

Hold sector Constantine (3) - additional

With forces that you've used to capture it you will complete this task without any problems.

Seize Odiliapell (1) - additional

Create army consists of: 4 tanks T-80, 2 vehicles HEMTT, some AT and AA infantry and command vehicle. Enter the forest in sector Chariton [4] with APCs and infantry and place tanks on the open area. When you get rid of the enemies place troops between trees and capture sector.

Defend Odiliapell (3) - additional

From time to time sector will be attacked by little combat groups but you should eliminate them easily.
