Detailed walkthrough for mission 13 of Company of Heroes 2, covering unit deployment, capturing victory points, and defending against armored assaults to earn the Silver Star medal.
Walkthrough
- 1At the start, use surviving units and reinforcements. Have your engineers build defenses around the hill. Choose your command powers (Airborne and Infantry are recommended).
- 2Locate the two German bases on the right and the 88 battery emplacement in the center. If using Airborne, scout and strafe the batteries. If using Infantry, scout with a rifle squad and use artillery. Alternatively, send an Airborne or Ranger squad to surround the gun and use grenades, or position units to cause friendly fire among the 88s. Neutralize these quickly to protect your hill units.
- 3While dealing with the 88 guns, capture the lower point with a rifle squad and a Sherman. Destroy the guarding 88 gun first using grenades and close infantry assault. Capture the point and have engineers build an MG emplacement for defense.
- 4Proceed to capture the point to the right of the base. This area is on a common German assault path. Bring backup, but a rifle squad, Ranger, or Airborne squad should suffice for capture and defense. Engineers can later build MG emplacements here.
- 5Use your howitzer to bombard the final point, dislodging any German troops. Send two infantry squads to capture it. Be wary of Ostwinds, which can quickly destroy squads; use sticky bombs against them.
- 6Understand the victory bar at the top, which counts down as you capture victory points. Capturing more points accelerates the enemy's meter decrease, with maximum effect when all points are held.
- 7If point control is equal, meters don't decrease. The side with fewer points loses them. To earn the medal, maintain control of at least 2 points at all times. Capturing all 4 points significantly reduces German assault effectiveness.
- 8The primary threat in this mission is armored vehicles. Ensure AT guns are positioned to guard all three directions. Station your Wolverine on the hill for protection. Upgrade engineers with flamethrowers to counter accompanying infantry.
- 9Once all 4 points are captured, focus on defending them until the mission concludes.
Tips
- Choose command powers that suit your strategic style; both Airborne and Infantry are effective.
- Utilize the environment and unit abilities for unique solutions, such as causing friendly fire among the 88 guns.
- Prioritize capturing the lower and right-side points early to establish a defensive line.
- Be prepared for armored assaults, especially Ostwinds, and have appropriate anti-armor and anti-infantry measures ready.
- Maintaining control of at least 2 victory points is crucial for earning the Silver Star medal.
