American: Capture the Admiral

[Bonfire09]

It helps a lot if you have hitched up the flak gun from the previous mission to your truck (the game tells you that you can bring through a towed gun as well as whatever you get in the truck).

I cleared all the enemies outside, then the south gate, then up to the main building with thrown knives since I fancied being stealthy first.

Then I lobbed down AP and AT mines as far out from the building as I could without getting seen by the enemies left alive and brought in the flak gun and the machine gun from the south gate and popped them on the lawn.

Next I capped the admiral and cleared the buildings to the north with the initial reinforcements and set up guys around the perimeter wall covering from 3 o'clock past 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock, keeping the AT rifle just behind the line.

All the light vehicles fell easily to MG fire and mines, only issue was the tanks but the flak gun can drop them at the range they stop at to fire... also bring forward the AT rifles to fire when any vehicle is getting close.

If you have a save from the previous mission just grab the flak gun, hitch it up and it's not that hard to defend for tyhe negotiations.

Lastly... all your reinforcements should be men not the ammo truck.... the poxy truck brings mines you can't lay cause you are under attack and less total ammo than the men turn up with You can scavenge ammo off dead germans anyway.

Hope that helps.

oh yeah a got a tip for this mission take out the car which the amrial will be fleeing with a anti tank grade helps a lot

Mines, from the start, use them.. block up the gates with them, this will produce a traffic jam with wrecks, infantry will advance but a few anti personel mines will soon take care of that.

Even if general runs for it, he's gonna run into minefield at the gate, that is if he wasn't taken care of by your men.

when you have to hold and reinforcement show up you can use a firebrigade to sent to hotspots if and when the enemy seems to be breaking through. Flanking them is good fun, while your dug in troops will keep them busy.
mind you reinforce the dug in force from time to time.

and scavenge everything off any death german you can find, you can't have enough grenades and ammo.

Good luck sir.
