Playing this from the right base (I haven’t tried from the middle) is more fun, and since the Russian CPU-enemy opposite is stronger, your strategy needs to be different: You want to bring in one HMG asap for the right VP, and use your starting pios and another pio to cap everything up to and including the right VP and tower, and build a bunker-HMG to cover the right tower. If you do survive that, though, there will be a breathing space in which your two CPU-allies should manage to secure the right VP, and then the Russian points will tick down quickly. Three Paks is not enough to handle that reliably, given the games COH2 plays with visibility, Pak responsiveness etc. You may get hit at the center VP around 15 minutes in, with 6 or 7 Russian tanks plus infantry support. Mortar when you can.Ĭenter VP: Same as at left VP but at least 3 and preferably 4 Paks, and more bunkers.Īfter you have everything above, if you still have spare mp, you can bring in a Panther or a call-in Tiger. Left VP: HMG and a couple of bunker-HMGs, with flamer-251 backup, for anti-infantry. Also, the first Russian tanks often start showing up, in groups, after only 7 minutes, which is way before you can have the AT power to stop them.Īll in all, this one is more challenging than “No Retreat, No Surrender.” The devs, who I guess wanted to pad out the mission offerings by duplicating this map, ended up neatly illustrating the core ToW single-player imbalance of Russia>Germany.Īlthough victory won’t be so quick on this map, you will play this much as you played the other mission: Secure the left VP and then the middle one, the latter with lots of AT power because it will probably bear the brunt of the Russian tank onslaught, which usually hits 9-15 minutes in and includes KV-1s and T-34/85s. It now also has multiple T-34/85s, and even gets a couple of ISU-152s. And somehow the CPU-Russia you’re facing now isn’t limited to KV-1s and T-34/76s as you were when playing as Russia before. Yeah, same map, but it isn’t quite as easy for you to field Panthers, Elefants, and Tigers as it was for CPU-Germany in that previous mission. Theater of War Mission Pack: The Southern FrontsĬommander: Any is fine-mortar halftracks, CAS/artillery, and Tigers are nice-but you don’t need more than the basics. Same map as “No Retreat, No Surrender,” but of course harder now that you’re playing as Germany.
