Detailed walkthrough for Company of Heroes 2's mission 9, focusing on capturing the hill at all costs. Includes tips on resource management, unit deployment, and artillery usage.
Walkthrough
- 1Secure the point on the right of your base with an MG squad and AT gun.
- 2Move a rifle squad, supported by a sniper and Sherman tank, to the left field. Eliminate the bunker and infantry, then capture the point.
- 3Capture the remaining points in the area. Scout with the sniper, use tanks against MG squads, and infantry for captures. Conserve resources by minimizing losses.
- 4Beware of snipers across the hedges on the left. Use tanks to clear them. Earn XP to build howitzers.
- 5Build Shermans and get howitzers as soon as possible. Secure the points left of your base and advance upwards. Rangers can be built later.
- 6When a scripted event reveals the German artillery outpost, use your artillery special power to destroy it before the fog of war returns.
- 7In the middle-right of the map, near the checkpoint (small town), destroy the exploding oil drums and German defenses. Capture the 88 gun to assist.
- 8Send engineers to the secured area and build two howitzers if resources allow, ensuring you have population limit space. Position howitzers on the hill and bombard the enemy. Use the sniper to reveal the area during shelling to maximize damage. Destroy threats like AT guns, bunkers, and panzers before rushing tanks to eliminate infantry.
- 9Build 3 Ranger squads and a halftrack. Move them forward, avoiding artillery. Time their assault with a tank rush. Send all infantry into the hill.
- 10Capture the point on the hill at all costs. Expect at least an 80% casualty rate unless the hill is heavily shelled. The mission concludes upon capturing the hill. (The author completed it in 33 minutes after 3 attempts).
