Ready For Action
Mission 14 takes place on a huge mountain
full of machine gun nest, snipers, and extremely well armed
soldiers. On
the upside however, you got some boys from the 1st armored
division with two M2 Bradleys to provide support on the mission.
A quick note on the briefing however: it states you will
be going against armor, but there is no need to worry about
tanks on this trip, there are none. One thing to keep in
mind about this mission is that snipers are everywhere, so
don't think just because nothing is moving that your safe...

Taking The North Pass
When you insert into the mission, set your sniper to hold
up in the nearby patch of woods. Have alpha and bravo teams
go up the northeast pass on recon orders. Keep your eyes
open, when you get around the B5 area keep your eyes on on
D6. There should be a sniper up there waiting to ambush your
troops. When you spot him, order you team to hold and switch
over to your non-M203 rifleman to take the shot. We he's
gone, continue to send you troops up the mountain, and hold
at E8/E9.
Check your command map, you should notice
that a bradley and some infantry are coming up behind you,
wait for them
to catch up to your position. When the brad goes around the
corner, it should stat to engage some Russian troops. When
that happens swing around behind it and lay down suppressive
fire in the bushes it's shooting at. After a few seconds,
send bravo team with suppress orders to D10 and have them
cover D11/D12. Switch alpha back to assault and have them
move north around the house at E10/E11 and try to flank any
Russians the bradley missed. Watch out for some troops at
F12 however, because one of them is packing a anti-tank rocket
and will destroy the bradley soon as it gets the chance.
It'll start to get quiet after a few moments,
but get ready for small counter attacks. Russian reinforcements
like to
come from D11, (Which bravo team has covered.) G12, and G8
(Both of which your tem can cover from F11.). When the fight
is over, the bradley and the other friendly troops will move
in and secure the area. If you still haven't received the
objective complete message, circle the area a few time slowly
and check for any scraps of Russian troops.
Taking The South Pass
When the north pass belongs to you, switch
over to bravos rifleman and put both your team and alpha
team on recon orders
and head for E9. When you get there, have alpha hold up in
the woods and you and the machine gunner head for G5. After
a few moments you should spot a large Russian patrol down
near the hotel. Switch over to you M203 and fire one in there
direction when they stop moving. You should be able to take
them all out with one nade, but if not, switch over to assault
and clean up anything that sticks it head up. When the patrol
is down, have bravo cover the area with suppress orders and
switch back to alpha with assault orders. Move to H5 and
keep you eyes on I8, there's another sniper up there waiting
to ruin you day. Keep moving down the hill and take him out
before he sees you down there. When he's gone, send alpha
to I4 and hold up there. Switch over to bravo, with advance
at all cost and recon orders.
Time for the tricky part, assaulting the south pass directly
will only get you killed, so instead you have to work at
there defense a bit and lure the troops away from the twin
machine gun nests and into a ambush of your own. Instead
of you walking into machine gun fire, your going to have
them walking into the other bradley and have your team swing
around behind them to trap them in and get rid of the left
overs.

Ok, back to the work. Now you're in Bravo, switch over to
your machine gunner and crawl up the path at H6/I6, until
you're in the I6 square and can see the machine gun nest.
When you see the two nests OPEN FIRE!!! Don't worry about
hitting anything, just spray and get everyone's attention.
After a few seconds, turn around and RUN!!! Just get out
of there and back down to alpha. Switch back to alpha team,
with recon orders, head down the path at J2. Keep going south
but watch out for snipers, there's one waiting at L3 looking
your direction, be sure not to miss him! When he's down,
make a turn at K3, and hold up at K4.
Remember how we opened up on the Russians at I6? Well there's
about four or five standing there now wondering were you
went, little do they know that the second brad is coming
around the corner...
Wait till the brad makes the turn at H6 and starts shooting
at the Russians at I6. Quickly place a sensor at the K5 corner,
and then take out any remaining Russians who decided not
to leave their nest. Keep going south and take out any tangos
you see in the L5 area, because one of them has an anti-tank
rocket that's waiting for the second brad. Bring up bravo
team and have them cover the J7 area wile you clear out the
rest of the south pass. Your buds will move in and secure
the area, and the south pass should now be yours.
Taking The Top Of The Hill
Most likely, all of the guards from the top of the hill
probably came down in your north and south fights to help
backup there buddies, but if the objective is still not complete,
head up to the top on the I10 pass and scout the area out
for anymore tangos. Have your bravo squad cover a certain
area, and take alpha and circle around the opposite way,
that way no one gets your six. There's a small radio station
at the top of the hill, so be sure to fire a few M203 rounds
in there to make sure everything is clear.
When all is said and done, move alpha and bravo teams, on
recon, to N8 and go on hold, with alpha covering M9 and bravo
covering 07. Remember your sniper? Well he has a long walk
ahead of him. Order him to come down the south path and meet
up with the rest of your fire teams. Now comes the big prize,
taking the camp...
Taking The Camp
Ok, before we go camp hunting, switch over to bravo team
and head north east to clear the path. Watch out for a few
Russian troops around K12 who really enjoy sitting in bushes
and picking you off as you run by. Make your way to J14 and
set up a covering arc facing the camp with suppressive orders.
Your AI troops should not fire due to the small spotting
range, but there job is only to make sure no one gets close
to that pass anyway, not attack the camp. Next, switch over
to your sniper in charlie and move J15/J16. There is nice
hole in the rock way from which you can cause major damage
to the camp from, with little chance of being shot. Put him
on recon, and switch over to alpha team. Take control of
one of the grenadiers and move to L10/L11 so your overlooking
the camp

Now for the fun. The main idea here is to get the camp troops
to think that your alpha team is the attacking force, wile
your charlie sniper picks them off as they advance to alpha's
position. So switch to your characters M203, aim very carefully,
and fire one into the northeast machine guns. This, in return,
will bring a lot of fire towards your position... so run...
to K11, and hide. Quickly switch back to your sniper, take
off the recon order, and pick off the enemy patrols as they
rush to alphas position. When there gone, take out the machine
gunners before they start blasting away at the rocks your
behind. Most likely the objective will be completed without
even having to go in the camp, but incase it isn't, take
alpha over there with the grenade launchers, and bomb out
the remaining trenches before walking in. Mission complete
Final Notes
From what I've seen in MP games, most people don't like
to even bother working with the M2s, they would just rather
clear out everything by themselves. It's a fine thing to
do if you want a little more challenge, but if you're reading
this walkthrough you probably don't do you? All three of
the major firefights are tricky, especially the north pass
that is a real pain the first couple times you play it. The
key thing to remember is that in this mission, Russians always
seem to come out of everywhere just when the shooting stops
and things go quiet, so keep your guard up!
