In the ~3-minute period before the German attack starts (there is a countdown timer), bring in the lieutenant and two HMGs. This strategy generally provides for low casualties but a highly “kinetic” battle experience, in which you’ll kill many dozens of OKW squads and vehicles by the end (expect 50-80 veterancy points).
What follows is a description of one way to do that, using Dog Co. The challenge here is to max veterancy points without letting casualties get out of hand. In fact, you could do this mission using only RE squads (by laying tank traps and wire, and building firing positions) and probably win without taking any casualties-but you’d gain little in veterancy. Both of those goals are easy to accomplish. Co regular artillery and your major’s call-in artillery without penalty). To win gold, you must win without resorting to the mission-special call-in artillery (you can use Dog. To win this mission, you must keep the Germans from capping either of the two VPs behind your front fortfications.
It’s better to play it with Dog Co.-necessary units (HMGs and AT guns) are cheaper for Dog, and their artillery is much better. is one of your active companies on the campaign, you’ll play this mission with them. It and the following one (Bastogne) seem better conceived and designed than most of the other missions. “Hold the Line” is the first regular mission in the Ardennes Assault campaign.
