*It is recommended switch to the secondary weapon (the weapon that is not the Scoped [[Lee-Enfield]]) and pick up a fallen comrade's Lee-Enfield. Thus, giving max ammo for the Lee-Enfield Scoped. Lee-Enfield shares ammo but the player cannot just pick their ammo. The player will need to switch the other weapon and switch it back.

By about the end of the flak gun bit, switch out the Sten with the [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/MP-40 MP-40], as almost all of the Jerries in the motor pool have one, ergo having more ammo available.

Jean-Guy Robiechauld


The "Laison River" is the ninth Call of Duty 3 campaign level. It involves clearing the bush near the Laison River and the farmhouses in it. The player fights as the Canadians, and it is the first level where Lt. Robiechaud berates Pte. Baron for lack of combat participation.

Characters

Plot

The level starts with the squad in the middle of the Laison River, beneath a destroyed bridge. Cole and his squad first push up toward the river banks, clearing a destroyed house and barn of Germans. They later surround a house and assault it from three directions and take the house. Lt. Robiechauld and Sgt. Callard will go with Cole except if he decides to go up the top path (which is a good option if the player keeps the Lee-Enfield scoped).

They then get into the trenches and destroyed three AA guns and allowed their tanks to advance up towards the next bridge. The squad then takes a German trench overlooking a motor pool. Robiechauld then tasks Cole with 'blasting the biscuits out of the German reinforcements'. They then advance through the motor pool (killing Germans all the way) and assault a heavily armed house with an 88 out the back. Once the house is cleared, and the 88 destroyed, a Sherman comes and destroys a German tank, and the squad re-groups.
