Walkthrough[]

The mission begins beside the wreckage of a crashed glider. Two other soldiers have survived the crash, and the order to regroup with the other soldiers is given. Follow them as they advance toward a church; there are a large number of Germans along the route. As the player exits the church, they'll see another crashed glider, with Allied soldiers fending off a German attack. Give them assistance by eliminating all Germans in the area.

Enter the destroyed glider, and an ally will knock open the door. Exit the area and follow the allies through the rubble. As the player enter the street, Germans in the buildings above will attack. Take them out, and a German officer will kick open the door to the right. Head into the building.

Equip the Panzerschreck on the table, and fire at the half-track attacking the player's position. Once it’s eliminated, move past it and head down the street.

As the player advances down the street, a second half-track will come around the corner firing. Take it out with the Panzerschreck, and head into the building behind it.

There will be a waiting group of Allies. Grab the extra ammunition available here. A sudden burst of mortar fire will hit the ground in front of the player, a German counter-attack is beginning.

Quickly move onto the Browning .50 cal on the back of the jeep, and begin firing at the group of Germans assaulting the position. German trucks will arrive and unload soldiers; take out the truck with the .50 cal and the Germans inside it will be eliminated before they can deploy themselves. Half-tracks will eventually show up as well. Continue to suppress the Germans. The player should dismount from the gun and take cover when the player's health becomes dangerously low. Once the attacking German force has been eliminated, the mission will end.
