  1. This has been one of the most "interesting" missions of the game, the first that wasn't about defeating lines of trenches and AA guns. 1) AA gun crews in WWII apparently had eagle-eyes and bat ears. They could hear, spot, and shoot nearbly crawling, sneaking scouts and faraway walking, sneaking scouts even when hidden by trees during a sneak attack. 2) Nine soldiers completely split up had an easy means to communicate with each other. They must have captured American handie-talkies! 3) Battlefront made finding the comm gear more interesting. When one of your nine soldiers happens across it, they don't indicate on the map where it was found, or provide any visual clue nearby that you can see, so you have to ask the soldiers to stop and move away from their current location one-by-one to find out who discovered it. 4) German mortars were painfully inaccurate in WWII. 120 shells. 0 AA guns knocked out. At least they knocked out the maxim crews, but also my spotters. 5) Soldiers back in the day didn't mind storming houses, but they hated room-to-room fighting. That must be why each time I asked them to move to a different room in the house they ran outside instead. 6) Soldiers often refused to destroy good equipment. When I ask them to "Target" or "Target Ground" an unmanned AA gun they instead crewed it, and the closest they'd throw an anti-tank grenade wouldn't destroy it. 7) Battlefront decided getting into one of the enemy trucks was equivalent to "All my squad dying", even after I had taken out every enemy soldier and crewman on the map. One last trick to make me fail! My questions to others-- How do I destroy unmanned AA guns? To Battlefront -- ::sigh:: If you wanted getting into the trucks to equal dying, at least booby trap them so my men blow up when they get in instead of giving me a message that all my men are dead as they happily walk and drive around the map.
