Mission 3 "Operation Grey Castle" | Campaign "Causeway" CoH: ToV Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Main missions:

  • Cross the dike and destroy the machinegun posts;
  • Clear the road of anti-tank guns;
  • Neutralise the German howitzers;
  • Clear the Grey castle;
  • Able and Baker teams must survive;
  • Sergeant Craft must survive.

Medal missions:

  • Clear the crossroad.

The Americans decide to retake the northern end of the dyke, behind the bridge. However most of them are stopped by the machinegun fire and only one soldier manages to get across - its sergeant Craft. You can't let him die and what's worse, he has to destroy the German machineguns for the other Americans to safely get to Cauquigny. Quickly hide Craft behind the nearby wall and throw grenades at the Germans in range. Shoot the rest. Afterwards the others will join up the sergeant and you will gain full control over them. Invest the unused experience points and upgrade your men - I suggest beginning with the upgrading the Thompson's clip to hold up 30 bullets at a time.

You will receive a new task - clear the road of the German anti-tank guns - Campaign

You will receive a new task - clear the road of the German anti-tank guns. There are a couple of them (at least 3), their localizations are marked with green circles on the map and same coloured arrows on the screen. There also are two types of them - field guns and self-propelled. Destroy the field ones when the crew is moving them to a new position - you have to act quickly before they ready the gun again. As for the auto-propelled guns, get rid of them using bazookas and explosives, after finding an appropriate, green cover - behind wrecked vehicles, in houses, behind walls. Your allies, marked yellow on the map, should aid you in your actions - there's some infantry and tanks. Never the less, you have to play wisely so that the Germans don't destroy too much American tanks. If one of your paratroopers falls to the ground with heavy injuries, you probably won't be able to use the first kit on him - they don't seem to work in this scenario. I once more remind you that you should find good covers for your men after each change of position.

After destroying the anti-tank guns it's time to complete the other tasks - neutralize the German howitzers and clear the crossroad of enemy forces (it's a medal mission that you don't have to complete) - Campaign

After destroying the anti-tank guns it's time to complete the other tasks - neutralize the German howitzers and clear the crossroad of enemy forces (it's a medal mission that you don't have to complete). Around this time you will receive an armoured vehicle that will appear from the south - move it closer, but don't recklessly throw it under the German fire! The vehicle will serve as support for your paratroopers, while keeping behind them. The German howitzer unit is split into two, placed on the east and west side of the main road. I wouldn't suggest splitting your men - just attack the left one with full force. In order to do that, go round the Germans eliminating some soldiers and a mortar unit. While crossing the grove, destroy the enemy vehicle hidden there. Once you approach the field from which you can see the howitzers, hide your men behind the nearby fence and let them shoot. The fence doesn't provide much cover, but your men are real killers and they will rather quickly (be patient!) deal with the German armoured vehicle, howitzer and some troops hidden in the trench. Afterwards move your men forward, placing some of them in the cleared trench. Throw grenades and explosives at anything in range, for example the next howitzer. Afterwards, clear the other trenches.

The crossroad that you have to clear is quite near now - Campaign

The crossroad that you have to clear is quite near now. Act quickly, as your men are probably under mortar fire. You can destroy the self-propelled gun with a bazooka or some explosives. Treat the German transporter standing behind the building in the north similarly - throw an explosive over the building. Your paratroopers can kill the anti-tank gun crew from a distance, hiding behind some fences or in the trenches. Afterwards, head further to the right.

While one of your teams shoot at the enemies from the roadside building, the second one can quickly get the enemy (the

While one of your teams shoot at the enemies from the roadside building, the second one can quickly get the enemy (the "Motivation" order) and treat them with a grenade or just shoot them. Now you can enjoy your newly gained Silver Star. Gather your men, heal them if it's necessary and continue going right, to the lat German howitzer post, marked by a green arrow on the screen.

Hide your men behind the roadside fence and shoot the Germans in the nearest trench, some shed and destroy an armoured car located at the edge of the grove - Campaign

Hide your men behind the roadside fence and shoot the Germans in the nearest trench, some shed and destroy an armoured car located at the edge of the grove. You can use your own armoured vehicle as well as the Allied tanks passing through the main road. Move your infantry forward once you get rid of nearby enemies while throwing grenades and explosives at the defenders (including the first howitzer post. After clearing the trench and the shed, place some of your men inside.

Move your paratroopers to the next trench and behind a haystack and destroy the next enemy howitzer with grenades/explosives, as well as some Germans in the trench - Campaign

Move your paratroopers to the next trench and behind a haystack and destroy the next enemy howitzer with grenades/explosives, as well as some Germans in the trench. There may be a German anti-tank gun crossing the nearby road - destroy it with bazookas, moving the unit equipped with those closer and hiding behind the next haystack or some other cover. Move your armoured vehicle nearer and deal with the other enemy units. There's a big number of them around. Always try to be sure that your units have an advantage over the enemies and a good cover as well.

Once you deal with the last German howitzers you will receive a new task: clear the Grey castle which is located in the north-east corner of the map - Campaign

Once you deal with the last German howitzers you will receive a new task: clear the Grey castle which is located in the north-east corner of the map. Move all your forces to the road leading to the fortress. The only gate leading to it is shut tight and the entrance is additionally blocked by anti-tank barriers. However that's not a problem for your paratroopers - they can blow up the barriers and the gate using some explosive materials. Don't rush to the castle right after you do it - kill the Germans sitting in two buildings on the castle grounds. Do it from a safe distance, using the armoured car that's under your disposal. Be patient and move forward only after killing all the enemies, even if it means razing both building to the ground.

You can dispose of the barriers on the castle courtyard again by using explosives, in case they're in your vehicle's way - Campaign

You can dispose of the barriers on the castle courtyard again by using explosives, in case they're in your vehicle's way. But maybe you shouldn't do it? Firstly, your vehicle should keep in the back so it won't get hit by the enemy tank standing where the green is pointing and secondly the barriers provide good cover for your men. Destroy the German tank using bazookas/recoilless guns or explosive materials. You can leave the next armoured car entering the courtyard to your own vehicle. After destroying those two vehicles, the Germans should run from the castle. Congratulations, you have finished the American campaign and received a new medal!
