PROLOGUE
Fast and experienced units are needed so better to set up a training camp and upgrade at least a Willy and a GMC Jimmy Truck. The field guns are needed to win the scenario, and you can find them in the big town with the railway or in the smaller north-east town. Let's try the second option.
THE PLATEAU
First thing is to capture the plateau just to the east of our units, from where to attack the north east town. Take the snipers and clear the two towers on the reef, then wipe out the enemy units that will go after you as they catch a glimpse. Mount the snipers on the fast Willy and rush to the blindage near the trees, an area free from enemies. Dismount the snipers and kill everyone on the plateau starting with the other tower and the blindage. Occupy the three towers and the blindage.
BUNKERS AREA
Taking the north area where the bunkers are is a time consuming and dangerous process, as you must face many enemy units including mortars, snipers, AT guns and infantry moving here and there. Take the snipers and cautiously cross the bridge, then take a Willy you've trained in the meanwhile with two heavy and two sub machine gunners and rush along the line of the bunkers, killing the infantry moving in that area. And now comes the hard part: on the first little hill near the bridge there are two mortars and an AT Gun, rush at full speed and kill everybody, trying to avoid the deadly AT Gun. On the second hill, three mortars, two snipers and other units, make a second rush and keep moving, to avoid the fire from the field guns. When the two hills are enemy free, kill all the infantry moving around the bunkers, and then occupy them with snipers in no-fire mode to achieve sight. And now time to have fun.
NORTH EAST TOWN OUTSKIRTS
This is a long but rewarding battle. The northern outskirts of the town are filled with AT guns, mortars and any kind of tanks patrolling the area, so fast tanks are needed. Upgrade four Chaffee up to 600/800 experience and taking advantage of snipers' superior sight range strike hard as any enemy tank comes at range, being careful to rush away as the tanks explode, as enemy infantry inside will spot our units and long range fire will come in just a few seconds. Any other tactic would be suicide, as enemy fire power is overwhelming. The process will take a long time, as many tanks are patrolling the area. When the traffic will be non-existent, fix some routes along which Willies will be rushing by and destroy AT guns and mortars. Once the area is cleared, bomb and destroy every house in the north corner, and being very careful, capture the first two field guns at hand, as the third is guarded by enemy units. Using the field guns, destroy the remaining houses, then take a Willy and rush along the north east border, wiping out enemy units there, and bombing AT guns and mortars you spot. Other rushes in the town main street and along the south edge will clear resistance.
EAST PLATEAU
Next move is to take the plateau just east of the railway station. This is a tough task, as it's filled with AT guns, mortars and AA guns, and a dense forest blocks line of sight. Take a sub machine gunner (life 120) to absorb any shots, place an experienced sniper just behind and a Chaffee to chop the trees and advance very carefully from the south east entrance. A fast Willy could be useful to save the life of the infantry units should they be wounded. Place the field guns on the free plateau just to the east to aid in killing the enemy. Once the plateau is taken, from this vantage point wipe out the enemy units lurking in the trees just to the north, and secure the area as several units are scattered along the river bank.
AMMUNITION DEPOT
The towers around the ammunition depot to the south west are free, but be very careful as mines are laid along its perimeter, so take a squad and take them out. Occupy the towers with the snipers and let them shoot to the infantry units patrolling on the railways. Take the field guns captured in the north east town (there are eight of them but two could easily be destroyed as they very near the last house to the north east) and bomb every building in range, starting with the fuel depots at the end of the railway. Next objective is the tower to the north, which is very near to an AT gun and a machine gun, so it's a delicate task to be solved with a fast Willy.
ENEMY REINFORCEMENTS
At one point (I don't know what triggers them), many infantry reinforcements will enter from the south east border, and head to the railway station. Place the snipers on the towers to the "don't shoot" position, otherwise they will be killed. Some of these units will try to climb the north tower, so patrol the area with a Willy and kill everybody in the area. Place snipers on the plateau and they will have work to do. A flock of Willies rushing through enemy lines is much fun, but it's dangerous.
WEST TOWERS
When the tide has passed, it's time to take the west towers. The enemy in the meanwhile should have run out of ammunitions for the field guns, so take some snipers to shoot to the towers, then to the bunkers and then with a Willy wipe out the AT guns and the machine guns nearby.
CAPTURED REINFORCEMENTS
Just near the south east border there are some tanks and field guns waiting to be activated by our arrival. If enemy field guns and mortars are out of order, these units can be quietly activated, but in a matter of seconds enemy bombers will come in and deliver a deadly load of bombs, so as soon as they're activated, move them away (be careful especially with field guns).
THE STATION
Take a Willy and rush through the destroyed buildings, bombing any remaining unit.
