GAMEPLAY HINTS

Second to last mission

In the second to last mission, after you finish clearing out houses of enemies, your tank will get ambushed by a Flak 88 gun and a mortar crew. You must first defend your position. Move into the shack building on the right side and move into the top right corner of the building. Watch out for enemies in the top of the building to your left. Once you have taken out all those enemies, focus on the enemies near the tank. Once you repel the assault, you and another soldier must take out the mortar crew. Follow the other soldier and keep your M1 Carbine out. When you get near the center of the town, duck behind the brick wall and pick off the two mortar men in the building in front of you. Then, charge up the steps towards the Flak 88 gun. If you sit behind the wall for too long, the Flak 88 gun will get you. Use your Thompson to take out the two men manning the Flak 88 gun, then plant the explosive charge. Run for cover towards the shack that you were defending earlier. Do not worry about the machine gun in the window; the Flak 88 will provide you with enough cover.

Last mission

When you are going thought the dragon's teeth, take out the machine gunner and his friend in the middle tower. Then, make a run half way thought the dragon's teeth. Next, go prone behind a tooth. Take out the enemies around you and in the tower. Then, get up and run all the way through and underneath the last tower for cover. Wait for your squad to arrive, then storm up the hill and go into the bunker.

Move allies freely

Use the following trick to move your allies from cover to cover freely. Move close to them , point your reticule at them, and press either R1 or R2. If you press R1 you have a higher risk of failing the mission because of friendly fire. If you press R2 , the safest way to do so is to first hold L1 then press R2.
