Martinville ridge*
*
Our offensive towards St. Lo is continuing.
The Martinville ridge as well as the highway leading into the city are our objective for this next offensive.

*
*
Objectives: Advance westwards along the Martinville ridge and clear the designated areas.*
*
Enemy: The 3rd Fallschirmjaeger Division is holding this part of the line.
 These paratroopers are elite troops and will put up one hell of a fight.
 Again you will have to navigate the labyrinthic bocage, however, by now you should have quite a lot of experience in hedgerow fighting.
*
*
A depleted company of tanks and engineers have been attached to your bataillon. 
 To clear out the Germans, close cooperation with these units is necessary.
 Be methodical: Pin down German defenders with MG and mortar fire, then use the engineers to blow holes into the hedges.
 Then assault the enemy forces with your tanks and infantry.
 Advance to the next field and repeat.*
*
Note: Since hedges can't be blown up in WinSPWW2, the best breach points are marked by at-barriers.
