Strategy

• A 3" Mortar Emplacement can prove useful in eliminating the Pak 38s across the river.
• A 25 Pounder Gun Howitzer, in kind, can also be useful in eliminating enemies in either town if placed correctly.
• The Germans will destroy one of the bridges, notable by the audio countdown at whatever bridge is being blown.
• Use a swift combination of tanks, Cromwell or Churchill, with infantry support to take over the towns quickly.
• Panthers will appear once Hill 112 is captured. Be sure all units are healthy.
