Love these defense missions. Can only imagine how well you'd do defending with the British faction since they're made specifically for defense.
This is in my opinion the easiest mission on Expert mode (besides Omaha Beach). While it seems tough at first to hold off numerous flanks and the HQ at first, having the right setup will go a long way in defending the hill. One very important detail to note is everything that happens on this mission will carry over to the next one so unit preservation and map control is vital.
Nothing happens for a few minutes so you need to act fast to ensure you’re prepared for what’s to come. You’ll have several squads of riflemen that need to be replenished, but I advise to send them out to capture the surrounding territory for more resource income. While several squads capture the map, send out a full squad of riflemen and an MG team to the East to acquire the medal as well as a Veteran 3 Ranger squad. You don’t need to buy anything but 2 snipers and 2 mortars. Simply use those riflemen squads with just 2-3 men in them to man the AT guns/.30 cal MGs scattered on the hill.
While you setup your defenses a cutscene will play at 25:04 (on the timer). It is at this point you will have to hold off increasingly difficult waves of enemies until the timer runs out. All you have to do is hold the Hill so use MGs to suppress/pin infantry, Anti-tank guns or Rangers to destroy armor, mortars to bombard pinned units, snipers to counter snipe any snipers they send, and the Howitzer the game provides you to break up any blobs of units packed close together. Do not leave any units north or near the enter of the hill. The AI will drop artillery in those areas so defending them after being bombarded will prove to be very futile.
They’ll occasionally send a tank or a squad of infantry to harass your base. An AT gun, MG, and Ranger squad will be more than enough to deal with whatever is sent. Just remember to check on your main defenses so nothing breaks through.
The ai will try to capture the surrounding points to cut off your resources, but from what I’ve noticed they will only take a point once so recapturing it whenever possible will be safe from future caps.
Near the end, a final wave will throw several tanks and several SS squads at you for a last ditch attempt at taking the hill. Drop everything you have on them and you should be just fine so long as you have veteran 3 units. If you want to make the next mission easier you’ll to start moving your units to the East and West to be ready to capture those command points once the mission loads up. I didn’t do it so I could have more of a challenge and show what to do if all your units were still on the Hill at the start of mission 13.
Good luck out there. Enjoy!
Do you mean 8:42? I didn't see a cutscene at 25:04.
@@justinwang3294 I meant 25:04 on the timer. My mistake.
Another mission that'll influence the next mission... here's hoping CoH 3 fulfills its "in-game actions influence the entire story campaign" promise.
3 missions to go... also, thanks for clarifying the timer stuff.
How do you build those sandbags like you did at 3:57 ?
@@franzivan4567 hold down shift and left clock each time you want a new line.
love it! i learn much by seeing your excelent gameplay!
Always glad to hear that =] just wait till you see how I handle the later entires in the series.
Same. There's a lot of neat tricks here that can really make these tough missions seem like a breeze.
20:06 STRIKE!!!
God I love the artillery in this game.
Man, this mission looks so much easier when knowing where that enemy artillery is aimed. I always thought it would zero in on your troops. I'm still keen as hell to watch you run the other campaigns, since when I played CoH last, those are the ones I had the most trouble with.
Tales of Valor or Opposing Fronts? But yeah, it helps knowing the optimal method of defense. You’d have to really spread out if the artillery was based on wherever your troops were positioning.
OF first, ToV second.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I was asking which was the one giving him trouble, but yes, I will play them all in order.
@@StarMarshal Ah, apologies.
@@michaelandreipalon359 no need to apologize. You did nothing wrong.
Sorry for the late comment. Was busy with a lot of work lately. Great episode, Star! I love watching all the cool strategies and tactics you implement.
9:26 the perfect setup only for it to hit your own outpost! Someone is getting demoted for that.
Not the only time this happened either! I think one of the AT guns hit the central hill outpost a bit later too!
Another solid defense! You're really good at this game. Ever think about doing multiplayer and uploading it?
Thank you thank you. Hmm, I dunno how active the multiplayer is for this game. Plus I’d have to play a lot more to be ready for online play which isn’t an option when I cover so many genres. Maybe one day.
@@StarMarshal Campaign and multi play is totally different game requiring different tactics and responsiveness speed. both fun though:)
@@nayahun2 that is very true. I don’t even know what the current meta is.
endure in the mountains to survive one more day
Excellent defense, you defeated the germans without too much effort.
All about using the right counter for the job. They should’ve sent more.
Yeah. Would have been nice had they sent their commander to end things early.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I would’ve just bullied him with snipers.
I wonder how many times it took you to beat this mission This is a hard one compared to the other ones
This one was actually quite straightforward for me. Just a matter of making sure you aren't flanked/lose too much territory.
@@StarMarshal I know it's been a hard mission for me I can't beat it yet I've tried about three times now It's just they have so many tanks it's crazy They like overrun me I can't do nothing about 20 tanks coming after me and I only have two squads of guys You can't beat tanks like that with men yeah you can throw a sticky bomb on them or something like that but I'm talking like 20 tanks and you only have like two squads That's crazy I just don't understand yet hopefully I'll get it eventually
@@bossmanboss3087 riflemen aren't great for tanks. Sticky bombs help slow them down or finish it off, but you'll want AT guns/Rangers to handle the armor. Maybe have the AT guns focus fire so the tanks don't plow throw? Also important to use MGs to pin infantry so they don't wipe your AT guns.
@@StarMarshal They don't give you a AT from the beginning You have to build them after you build your barracks then you get them Well I can't even get a barracks up or any type of building to even get any other type of men they blow it up before I even get to do it I've done it three times and I've got the same results I've even put people inside of my headquarters to try to protect the buildings It doesn't work They only give you I think three tanks and a little squat of people and I'm like how do you kill all these tanks with Just this I don't get it I'll figure it out eventually I guess
@@bossmanboss3087 are you playing on expert mode?
You actually put a triage center next to the barracks
I thought you can build a triage center at the hill, makes this even easier.
3:14
First I wondered if you pick a Tank Range in any fantasy or sci fi games?
Tank range?
@@StarMarshal Tank Class with guns in Fantasy or Sci fi games
@@randallthornsberry4068 oh… well a tank is based on its role, not the weapon usually. I’m usually fine with whatever role is needed. Just not much of a healer if I had to pick though.
@@StarMarshal well it can be very well accomplish with any comrades u found M8
This is not on Expert, on Expert the Computer will bomb the Crap out of your entire base, not just the front
I don't see how difficulty affects that script. I used to put my forces more in the center of the hill and they would get hit all the time by the call-in arty. If I had more forces in my HQ I'm sure the AI would drop it there too.
