The Tactical Map uses a 20 × 10 main grid, with ten subdivisions on each axis inside every square. The overlay follows those same boundaries. Large overlapping allied areas mean that individual units can appear across a broad part of the battlefield.

MISSION WALKTHROUGH

MISSION SPOILERSReveal the complete objective order and firing guidance.REVEAL WALKTHROUGH
PHASE 01

Read the order

High Command prints both the Iron Nest position and the target grid. Transfer those two positions to the Tactical Map before preparing the gun.

PHASE 02

Calculate the firing solution

Measure the bearing and distance from the Iron Nest to the reported target. Select a powder charge that covers that range, then calculate the required elevation.

PHASE 03

Fire HE

The order specifies HE. A miss produces a Field Report asking the Operator to review the Iron Nest position, bearing and range before firing again. Destroying the designated target completes the mission.

Operational notes

  • The target is placed through a mission zone, so its precise grid belongs to the current playthrough.
  • Miss reports are generated after shell impacts and direct the Operator back to the plotted position and firing solution.
  • The mission tracks the number of shots fired for its single medal.
