REVEAL MAP DETAILS (SPOILER)View possible battlefield locations and mission-specific map information.REVEAL MAP DETAILS
These outlines show the areas from which the mission can select positions. They are possible placement zones, not fixed spawn coordinates. A numbered badge identifies an area; it does not enlarge that area.
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
Prepare before firing
The ten-minute counter-battery timer begins with the first player shot, so plotting before that shot preserves the full engagement window.
Build the kill count
Engage the converging infantry, tanks, artillery and priority targets. The objective is score-based rather than the destruction of one fixed primary target.
Interrupt counter-battery fire
Use AP against the underground fire-direction centres. Destroying those positions pauses the counter-battery sequence and preserves time for further kills.
Operational notes
