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

Move immediately

The opening order is an emergency relocation. Remaining at the acquired position exposes the Iron Nest to the rival battery's fire.

PHASE 02

Blind the battery

Destroy the twelve two-star enemy spotters. Their loss both contributes location intelligence and adds 90 seconds per destroyed spotter to the counter-battery clock.

PHASE 03

Defeat the rival Nest

Use the accumulated reports to locate the five-star armoured battery. Penetrating hits reduce its four health, and it repositions as the engagement progresses.

Operational notes

The enemy Iron Nest is the only fixed mission target with 4 health in this operation.
Its movement is scripted between damage stages, so one opening grid is not a permanent firing solution.
The three listening posts are allied mission entities and are shown separately from the hostile spotter network.
