Pegasus Bridge changes from capture to defense
The bridge sequence first asks the British troops to take control, then to hold it against counterattacks. Read the new instruction when the phase changes; the same position can demand a different direction of attention.
| Sequence | Main problem | Useful response |
|---|---|---|
| Pegasus Bridge | Capture becomes a defense | Recheck objectives after securing the bridge |
| Pavlov | Attackers approach an occupied building | Change windows and floors as needed |
| Stalingrad landing | Limited opening equipment | Follow the scripted route and cover |
| Eder Dam | Several sabotage objectives | Confirm each target is completed before leaving |
Pavlov is a building defense
After the approach and capture, the apartment building becomes a defensive position. Move between useful firing positions when threats change rather than remaining at the first window.
| Visible situation | Check | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| No new squad movement | Objective list | A required interaction may remain |
| Enemies keep returning | Advance marker or timed defense | The encounter may need movement or survival |
| Tank survives gunfire | Mission anti-armor equipment | Small arms are not the intended solution |
| Exit looks closed | Nearby document or charge prompt | The mission may require a completed task |
The Stalingrad opening is deliberately restrictive
The river landing does not begin with a normal full loadout. Follow the sequence and use the opportunities the mission provides instead of treating the exposed bank like a conventional shootout.
Match equipment to the marked threat
Anti-armor tasks use the available mission equipment and firing positions. When a tank blocks progress, check the objective and nearby weapon prompt before wasting ordinary rifle rounds.
Anti-armor tasks use the available mission equipment and firing positions.
