TIME AND PLACE: January 15, 1943; Stalingrad

YOU ARE: Private Vasili Ivanovich Koslov

The following mission is very short, but it has some difficult moments. You will have to take control of some of the surrounding buildings and destroy a couple of enemy tanks. You start off in a small building. Exit (screen 1). Keep going straight. You should reach the rest of the team. Get ready, because the allied soldiers are playing on taking enemy positions. You should join them (screen 2).

Keep moving forward. You should see some enemy soldiers. Start shooting at them (screen 1). There are a lot of allied forces taking part in this battle, so you won't have to use any covers. Watch out for some new snipers hidden on one of the right balconies (screen 2). I would also recommend sending them at least one grenade.

Continue pushing forward. You've got to be extra cautious. There are a lot of new enemies nearby. Some of them may be hard to find. Take out the Germans hiding in one of the right buildings (screen 1). After you killed them, use the stairs to get inside (screen 2).

Get closer to one of the windows. An enemy tank should arrive here shortly (screen 1). You will receive some new orders, including destruction of the tank. Use the stairs to exit the building. You have to be cautious. Some German soldiers may have been sent here. You've got to take them out (screen 2). Reload your weapon.

You have to start running towards the opposite building. Remember that the area is being patrolled by an enemy tank. You can't stop or you will be shot. Enter the new building (screen 1). Go to the room shown on your compass. Pick up some sticky bombs. They should be lying on the floor, near the lamp (screen 2). Head towards exit.

Start running (yes... AGAIN!!). You have to get to the building you previously had chance to explore (screen 1). This is where you saw the tank for the first time. Doing that will help you to get closer to the machine. Use a sticky bomb in one of the highlighted spots (screen 2). Move back. Be sure to keep a safe distance.

After the explosion go to the building where you found the sticky bombs. Join the other squad members that have stationed here (screen 1). You've got only one more building to go. After you get there start moving towards the occupied building (screen 2). You should choose the right side. Doing that will help to organize a surprise attack at enemy forces.

Get closer to the building and throw a couple of grenades in there (screen 1). The entrance is being watched by a guy with a heavy machine gun. It is very important that you take him out. Enter the building and deal with the other enemy soldiers who managed to survive the explosions (screen 2). Some of the Germans will use the grenades. You must avoid them at all costs. Use the stairs to go to the upper floor.

After you get to the first floor move to the next room. You should see a couple of heavy machine guns. Use one of them (screen 1). Now you will have to take care of a couple of groups of enemy soldiers. Be sure to check the right building from time to time (screen 2). Some new Germans may be appearing there.

Some allied soldiers should appear on the map in a couple of seconds. You have to help them. Start shooting at the Germans hiding in the left building (screen 1). You don't have to aim in anything in particular. The key is to supress enemy fire while allied soldiers are setting the charges. After that, the building should explode (screen 2). One less problem for you to worry about.

You should hear a warning from the other squad members. An enemy tank is coming. Leave the MG-42 AT ONCE. The tank will be aiming at the wall (screen 1). After the explosion follow one of the allied soldiers. Once you get to the square, start off with eliminating German soldiers (screen 2). It would be wise to use surrounding brick walls to your advantage (mostly for much needed cover).

You should reach a small square, that is being patrolled by an enemy tank (the same one that was firing at you). Ignore the tank for a couple of minutes. First of all, you should take care of the German soldiers (screen 1). They are mostly hiding behind the brick walls. After you deal with the Nazis crouch by one of the brick walls and wait for the tank to pass by (screen 2). Start running. Set a charge in one the highlighted spots.

The tank will be destroyed without any other problems. You can witness the explosion if you want to (screen 1). One of the squad leaders should arrive here shortly. You have to follow him (screen 2). There's only one path leading to the exit, so you shouldn't have any problems getting there. Well done, you have successfully completed another mission.
