Battle of the Bulge

The Battle of the Bulge map takes place in 1945, during the Nazi attempt to buy time while building nuclear weapons. This map is heavily focused on tank and infantry combat, with fewer immediate threats compared to maps like Berlin and Stalingrad. There is only one jeep available, located on the main road towards the bunker with a flag.

There are five distinct capture points on this map.

The Windmill: This point is situated on a hill, making it easier to defend, especially against tanks. The flag capture radius is small. It is often the first objective the Axis team targets. Holding this point is crucial for the Allies to prevent early ticket depletion.

Defense (Windmill): As an engineer, place landmines where tanks approach and use TNT packs (you can carry 9 at a time with an ammo pack nearby) near the entrance for infantry. As an anti-tank, shoot tanks through windows, being mindful of infantry. As an assault or medic, guard against infantry, heal teammates, and use grenades on tanks from the ammo pack. You can climb to the top of the windmill, jump off, and parachute to safety.

Offense (Windmill): Attack from the bunker flag to the south, the main German base, or by crossing the river. Once inside, clear enemies and crouch under the steps, remaining alert. If attacking with a tank, avoid landmines and ensure your rear or side is not exposed to the windmill. Fire shells into the entrance to clear it.

The Point Across the bridge from the Axis base: This point spawns a heavy tank and is critical to control. It is frequently overrun by German forces if not properly defended by the Allies.

Defense (Point Across Bridge): Place landmines and TNT on the bridges. For infantry crossing via swimming, engage them as assault or medic. Engineers can snipe with their rifles.

Offense (Point Across Bridge): If mines are present on the bridges, tanks must take a long route through the church area and down the road with beach spikes. Infantry can cross the river if the bridges are blocked.

The Church: Capturing this flag is difficult as you must be very close to it, and being inside the church makes you vulnerable. To capture, prone behind sandbag walls and hope for safety. Defenders can camp inside as anti-tanks to counter enemy tanks.

The Bunker Flag: This flag is located near a jeep on the main road.
