Secure the Gas Station
This time you start off by choosing your units
| Anti-Tank Squad | Infantry squad |
| 800 | 650 |
| APC | Troop Transport |
| 750 | 550 |
| Repair Tank | Demo Engineer [x3] |
| 900 | 0 |
I chose this combination:
1x Anti Tank squad
2x infantry squad
2x Humvees
1x Bradley APC
The above combination gives a good amount of firepower from the infantry and APC and the Humvees can be used for repairing and all vehicles here can be used for transporting infantry. But don't worry if you are unsure of your initial deployment you can call on airdropped tanks later in combat.
The Gas station is occupied with soviet forces take them out and retake it!
Eliminate the Soviet Sniper [secondary]
Secondary objective is to eliminate the sniper that killed Private Uris in the opening cinematic. Although it is secondary i suggest eliminating the sniper in the tower first as it will be a pain to your infantry and the sniper's rifle can reach most of the deployment zone so it is a threat even after deployment. Use your vehicles first or use your vehicles only to take out the sniper so you avoid losing some of your soldiers. Another creative way to destroy the sniper, is to use a demo engineer but its kinda tricky as the demo engineer is a 1 man unit and BOOM! 1 shot from the sniper and he would be gone.
Steps on using demo engineer in destroy the sniper
1.) Load a demo engineer into a bradley apc
2.) Drive the APC up to the sniper tower
3.) Deploy the Bradley APC's smokescreen
4.) Unload Demo engineer
5.) Place C4 charge on tower
6.) Load Demo engineer back into bradley apc
7.) Drive to safe distance from sniper range
8.) Unload Deno Engineer
9.) Detonate C4

| Before | After |
After that Surrond the gas station by occupying the buildings around it. Choose All The Main buildings:
I suggest putting a anti tank squad into the brick bulding as it can fire on many vehicles and fortifications and the other two buildings can fire on the enemy from the side. Keep your bradley to fire TOW missiles at the light tanks and Apcs [jeeps dont pose much of a threat] and keep calling in airdropped tanks once you have 10 or more TA points. Remember There are only 5 of these availiable to you so make sure you keep them intact because you can't get one back to replace your casualties. Keep firing at the enemy they die they even airdrop their own tanks and paratroopers to the zone so don't think its over yet. After the enemy forces are gone take out the fortifications and the gas station it self as there are infantry inside. After that take both command points and fortify but fortify mainly the one on the left because no one is going to attack the one on the right so put something like a demo engineer to fortify.
Once you Fortify the russians will counter attack the gas station they will attack from up the road use your Missles from the light tanks and TOW missles at long range and put an anti-tank squad in the police station building in up from the gas station so it can hit the tanks from the building. The counter attack won't last long and friendley Bradley APCs, soldiers and humvees will help too.
rewards:none
Clear the Way into Pine Valley
Your next objective is to clear the way into Pine Valley by destroying command points defending the center. though secondary objective is to clear the way within the given time limit you should be able to do it with time to spare. The command points are defended by tanks, jeeps and fortifications. The first strongpoint has some tanks that can fire on your position though it is easy to fire missles from your tanks and APC's from the gas station. Infantry is most versatile in this area as they can use the buildings to their advantage. Having a 1 or 2 AT or regular infantry squads are really helpful here and can take out all of the command points all by themselves. There are a few light units defending the center such as infantry, jeeps and some light tanks but they arnt too much of a threat. If you do the objective within the given time limit sawyer rewards you with a free M1A1 Heavy tank avaliable for deployment make sure you get this and if you cannot order anymore sheridan tanks from now on if you have forgotton.
above images dont show the units only fortifications
A small cinematic of the Commanders briefing at the town square will shortly appear
rewards: M1A1 heavy tank [after completing secondary objective]
Secure the TV station
There is now Artillery shells raining down around the tv station to shield theirselves from the enemy which is you! Sawyer tells you to flank around the TV station and around the trees to eliminate the Soviet forward observer [secondary] and then take out all of the rest of the defenders inside the TV station area. Again though it is another secondary objective take out the forward observer because after that artillery will stop and also that it is only 1 jeep so its easy to kill anyway. It is a good idea to flank around because from the hill you have to downhill advantage on the enemy which you may be able to eliminate some AT troops and apc units in the area. Though the worst threat is a building right between each perimeter circle which has soviet soldiers with RPGs! they can make the assault for the tanks very much like hell although since alot of trees and buildings around it is to infantry's advantage here rather than using tanks. Through this objective you may notice and might laugh at the us humvees and troops pitiful assault on some tanks on the beach.
rewards:none
Defend the supermarket
Right after taking the tv station Sawyerorders you to defend the Local supermarket as soviet forces are advancing onto that position through to town. Send your tanks down there and put your infantry into transport vehicles and then move them down. Spread your units between the two command points and garrison the supermarket with infantry [it can hold 3 squads max]. Light units will mainly attack the right perimiter and light armor will mainly attack the left perimeter. Keep your units repaired at all times and remember to keep throwing artillery of all sorts and other tactical aid onto the enemy. Napalm is powerful and makes a great barrier against the jeeps and infantry on the right side and light artillery pound the infantry and light jeeps as well. Make sure you remember to use special abilities such as HEAT rounds to fend off the soviets.
Assist Bannon with repairs [secondary]
After a while Bannon at the gas station needs repairs on one of his badly damaged tank as he and Charlie company are under heavy attack and they have just lost their recovery vehicle. If you have a Humvee or repair tank send it over to the tank behind the police station. Humvees repair slower and are less armored so they might get killed by a soviet tank before the tank is even fully repaired whereas the repair tank repairs vehicles superfast and is more armored than a Humvee. Once you finish repairing Bannon will say something and Sawyer will reward you in another M1A1 heavy tank to deploy.

Hold The Southeastern Approach
Some of Webb's forces have been spotted coming towards the south-eastern part of town it's your job to take out the defenders, retake the positions and defend until further notice. First place an airstrike to weaken the units and then come in and kill the rest. Massive ammounts of armor come from the road, the hill on the right and the left. Heavy tanks have a long range and heat shells are powerful and accurate on light armor and jeeps, Light tanks and Bradley APCs may have a shorter range than the heavy tanks but their missles are just as accurate and about as long range as the heavy tank's main gun. You receive more max Tactical aid points from now on [20points changed to 45] so you can use more expensive, powerful strikes more often. You also receive the authority to use daisy clutters too. After a while Webb tells you the Soviets are setting up mortars at two locations to fire on your position take them out with airstrikes and all sorts of artillery.

| There are some untis defending there already airstrike them! | Although firesupport is called in by Sawyer its no harm to call in your own |
Destroy the Enemy Mortars [secondary]
Like the sniper earlier on in the mission the Enemy Mortars will cause massive amounts of damage to your forces if not dealt with. There are two locations where there are about 3 of them marked by the orange objective marker. Although you cant see the units themselves you will probably hit them if you just place strikes around where the objective marker is...it is a smart idea to put a airstrike on each marker you will either kill the artillery or heavilly damage them. Your tanks and units are most needed defending so it's not so smart to send units to destroy the mortars.
Not long after that Bannon reports that there are too many hostiles and is retreating towards the town square. At this point there will be massive amounts of russians deploying not far from your position as well! when bannon says that it is a good time to deploy tactical aid on the soviet's dropzone up the road so it will hit them just as the land. Daisy cutters and Heavy artillery strikes are a good idea to obliterate the russians. Once you get the message to retreat send your all units to the town square though take some units such as 1 anti tank or infantry squad, light tank and maybe a Bradley APC to the research facility you will need them there later.

| If you time the strikes right they will hit just after they land | Heavy artillery strikes are LETHAL to the soviets |
Defend the Town Square
The town square is divided into three command points there is one facing the tv station one facing the beach and one finally facing towards the gas station. Most will come towards the beach one and the gas station one comes under fire abit aswell...although the last one doesnt get many soviets to kill at least put a humvee and light tank there to defend and fortify. At this point it becomes a crecendo of madness: it starts of small and then gradually more and more come in like a steamroller. Thats why it is crucial to keep your main units in the right command points. Repairing is also a main factor in keeping your units alive that and using your heat shells and missles to fend off the soviets.
Aid the Artillery [secondary]
There is a mobile mortar platoon under attack at the research facility and a soviet advance force is headed right towards them! if you did what i told you before: send a small group of units off before you are told about the mortars, you would already have some units there. If you havent got any units there to protect the mortars, send some over though watch out for daisy cutters that my take out ur units. If yo have any infantry garrison the research facility it is pretty strong and can hold 3 squads the infantry is great for taking out enemies that come down the hill behind the building. Once the mortar units are safe Sawyer will give the command to you so you get some free units here. After that take your defenders back to the town square although some forces may attack the mortars for a little while.
rewards: the 3 medium artillery units
After that a cutscene will follow with sawyer on the beach asking the uss missouri how far out are they. After that cutscene...everything goes crazy shitstorm to be precise and you better wish you got those mortars and abrams tanks as well. They come mainly from the beachz the gas station and tv station keep throwing firesupport on all these axes of attack and use as many HEAT shells and missles as you possibly can, although AT infantry are great against tanks in buildings, at this point the buildings will get demolished alot faster make sure you evacuate before they go with it! If you lose any units replaces them with some more AT squads are the most powerful at this point so order more if you need them and if your abrams are damaged order some repair tanks too. Eventually if you hold for long enough a cutscene will follow.

 |  |
The cutscene follows a American soldier sprinting and falls from a close tank shell explosion and gets up and takes cover behind a turned over humvee, he finds another soldier though he finds out that he is dead. The soldier leans over the side to see a russian tank and braces...although he leans over again and the tank is destroyed. He leans over the other side in direction of the sea and the USS Missouri "Mighty Mo" is there firing it's cannons. The camera now focuses on the battleship with the sound of sawyer relieved to see the Missouri in the radio. The camera is zoomed out and the cutscene fades
At this point Sawyer has just made you their forward observer for placing fire-support from the Missouri. "16 inch cannons the biggest in the fleet" says Sawyer. Now your tactical aid menu changes from daisy cutters etc to naval artillery. It takes 4 seconds for the shells to hit the target and is about as powerful as a precision artillery strike. To get the most strikes out of the Missouri click one of the icons 3 times so you can get 3 from each icon. This is similar to one of the objectives in the previous mission but you can use your units aswell as the artillery though you dont really need them. Most of the soviets come from the beach and then come down the road take them out on that main choke point. Eventually after the soviet attack is weakening and you still are holding the town square Sawyer will tell all 5th battalion units to cease fire the calvary has arrived. If you have got this far, Well done you just finished mission 3.
