Company of Heroes

Back stabbing Hollidt
Here you are landed on a small beach near a factory


 * Objective(s)
 * Clear the Seafront of any enemy presence.

Commanding troops: 46 man of infantry. First let all of your troops near the broken wall run back to not be spotted by the Germans. Then let 8 men prepare for a stealth mission. The idea is to make a short blitzkrieg at vital equipment (mortars, Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G, PAK-40s). Knives and grenades are essential here. You can start a fire fight as long the groups are seperated. If not, you have to face an enemy tank, mortar groups and manned machinegun posts ahead.

Stealth approach First let 8 men walk into the factory and take out any germans (knife + melee preffered). Hide the bodies back in the factory (loot the corpses). Then ambush every patrol from the back (knife) by stabbing (fast forward to make the patrols pass by quicker). Once all patrols are taken out. Cook 1 grenade while the other throws it right away. If done right you took out the entire group (8) and have taken control over the mortars (3 mortars). Move up towards the tank. From here go loud. Neutralize the tank crew with a grenade and start the all out of fire fight. If done right. You should have plenty of cover. And you can take over the Panzer G without any casualties. Once the H.Q. is cleared there is only 1 group left (near your starting point) clear that point as last. Before clearing you might want to prepare your men for what is comming for next.

Loud approach  Go loud with guns. Make sure you take out group by group to ensure you dont have an all out war right away. Take out the patrols and mortars brutall. the machinegun + tank can be tricky. Once you have captured the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G things should be easier now. Loot the corpses before the preperation timer begins.

Preperation When you have cleared the whole harbor. It is time to prepare for a counter attack.

Vital equipment:
 * 2 PAK-40
 * 1 Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G
 * 3 sGrW 34 mortars
 * several Panzerfausts (corps)

If you observe your map for boxes there are a couple you are interested in.


 * Orange box
 * 1 Walther with ammo
 * 12 AT mines
 * 9 AP mines


 * Red Box
 * 50 AT shells 75 mm
 * 50 HE shells 75 mm

Mine the main entrances. (turn your camera towards the main entrances for further detailed walkthrough). Now there are a couple of "holding areas" you want to establish.
 * Left factory
 * Middle left road
 * Middle Factory
 * Middle right road
 * Right road

Make sure every road section is covered by the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G or the PAK-40's. Best is to place the tank in the middle to quickly help one side if needed. Place near each entrance an Anti Tank Rifleman.

The mortars can be positioned behind the coal-house, right near the crane and at the middle right point (between the middle right road and right road) Mine the entrances of the middle factory with AP mines and the roads with AT mines. Use smg's to equip the mortars, tanks, PAK-40s and machineguns. The rest will reinforce the left and middle factory. Scatter the rest make sure every flank have a panzer faust. Left and right flank should have 1 Walther pistole. See it as an super mortar for short range (fit to take out light vehicles too).

 Defending Once the timer is counted down it is time to defend. First waves will be relative light vehicles. Take them out before they ruin your mine field. (they are not worthy). 2nd waves are StuG IV Ausf. Gs and infantry. Your main points of concern now is the factory + "open area"((between the middle right road and right road). More and more tanks will come in. Hold them off with your Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G + PAK-40's. When the Tiger I tanks are rolling in you know this will be your last wave. Use the bombardment panel when the tanks get up close. If tiger tanks are taken out outside your "perimiter" the mission will not get completed.

Once all lies dead in ruins it is mission accomplished

Lieutenant Olshansky Assault Company
This mission will be played out in a pretty big map

In the beginning you get 2 soldiers. Once the bombarding has initiated you will get control of 3 squads of infantry (8 men each squad)

Coordinating the bombardment First take out the two patrolling Sd.Kfz. 222 from a corner. Then crawl your way towards your radio. Grenade the radio station and try to hold your point with the machinegun. Once the infantry is taken out rearm, take up the radio and cross the street. Before you head out to the designated building go left towards the Elefant tank destroyer. Grenade the tracks and take out the tank crew once they try to begin the repairs. In this way you can clear up a very heavy tank with no turret.

Now make your way towards the designated building. Draw the 2 Germans near the building with gunfire (shoot from far otherwise the tiger gets warned. Then move towards the building with your radio men. Use the radio to begin the cutscene
 * To 'use' the radio; open the inventory, and double click on the radio. Use direct control and click with your left mouse button to "use" it.

Assault Once the vital buildings are bombarded you get additional forces. Secure the 2 PAK-40s. Send some men to secure the Elefant. Use this tank to take out the FLAK-41 (88 mm's) if there is little cover around those guns. Help your allies by taking out field guns and tanks from the side with your tank or captured FLAK-41s. Once those installations are taken out your allied infantry will swarm the map. Support them with your Tank/FLAK-41. Some mortar halftracks will enter the map. Once the map is cleansed of the Germans its mission accomplished! (you have completed this campaign)
