Greetings, officers! Here is the last Allies story mission!
You will be taking part in the heroic Siege of Bastogne!
For a successful offensive after the capture of Antwerp, the Germans had to occupy all the roads in Ardennes. All the main roads converged on the small town of Bastogne, which is why control of its crossroads was vital for both sides. The Allied forces in the Bastogne area held up the German advance, but there was no breakthrough in sight.
Due to a prolonged bout of bad weather, Allied aviation was virtually paralyzed, and the Germans were able to move 70 km forward. The morale among the British and American soldiers was at its lowest. The situation was worsened by the presence of intruders in their midst.
In the first stage, you as the Commander of Special Operations, will have to apply all your knowledge and expertise to the task of improving your army's morale – find the saboteurs that are undermining the already broken spirit of the soldiers and eliminate the enemy mobile MLRS terrorising the area. Bring hope back to your men and thwart the enemy's plans to avoid imminent defeat!
But be careful! If you destroy the enemy without interrogating them first, you will be charged with violating regulations and court-martialed. Proceed with caution and maximum efficiency. Don't let the Germans rob you of this strategically important victory!
Stay vigilant, as the Germans have even disguised their vehicles to look like yours:
Luckily for all the Allied forces in Bastogne, December the 23rd dawns bright and fair. Planes drop long-awaited supplies. Fierce battles for provisions and ammunition await you since the enemy also wants to restock.
The size and strength of your army will depend on how many supplies you manage to collect. Send the maximum number of soldiers into battle, and do not let the enemy grow even stronger!
Battles continue on all fronts, and you are entrusted with the formidable task of moving the wounded and shell-shocked out of the combat zone. You'll have to not only destroy the enemy, but also protect hundreds of innocent lives. Given enough strength and skills, you can save the inhabitants of the Noville village from the vicious German.
A serious battle awaits you after the evacuation of civilians. You will need to retake Noville, which has either been captured by the Germans or is barely holding on (depending on your actions within the mission)! The Germans have dug in well, yet it is not so much the protection of the village but the course of the whole war that is at stake now – if the Germans break through, the Western Front could be lost.
Stop the German forces! Don't let the enemy emerge victorious from this battle.
Fight as fiercely as the soldiers of the Easy Company, the legendary "Band of Brothers". Do not give up but rather tell the Germans, "Us surrender? Aw, nuts!"
P.S. That's exactly what Anthony McAuliffe, commander of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division, said when the Germans offered the Allies to surrender.
