'''Allied Objectives'''

*Construct the Assault Ramp

==Map Description==

On the coast of the Mediterranean lies the shore battery "Sigfried". Its imposing nature and massive cannon is the first thing the Allies will see from their spawn on the beach. They have two places at which to spawn - on the east and west sides of the beach. The Axis have no eastern beach spawn, but it is quite difficult to get into the battery this way.

The west attack route contains the aptly named West Bunker and the Assault Ramp. The Allies must charge their way up the beach, dodging airstrikes, artillery, and snipers, to reach the Assault Ramp construction zone. The assault ramp will allow the Allies to storm up the cliff and charge the West Bunker. The ramp can be destroyed by a satchel charge and is covered the Northwest MG nest.

The west bunker is mostly an empty room with an overlook onto the beach, giving the Axis good view of the Allies assault. Slightly beyond the beach are several rocks; Allied snipers favour these rocks as sniping spots. The battery prevents you from looking far upon the other Allied spawn. The West Bunker contains two machine guns - one on the main floor and one on the floor below, closer to the beach. Both are deathtraps, and the lower machine gun has a very narrow hallway, making it easily congested. At most only one player should be down there.

The trenches leading to the west bunker lead through several rooms, and then into a single long hallway with a machine gun nest at the end of it. The Axis spawn is to the left of the machine gun, on the second floor of the compound - the second machine gun overlooking the beach is to the right.

Back outside, there are a pair of steel doors blocking a route into the Axis compound. These doors can be opened or closed from the inside via a switch; they can also be disabled by destroying the generator on the eastern beach.

Speaking of the eastern beach, it is relatively unguarded, except for a single command post in a bunker. This area is often completely unguarded, because it is a complete dead-end for the Allies. It is blocked by a magnetic door, a team door, and a machine gun nest that is often unmanned. Behind the machine gun is the generator. If a Covert Ops manages to obtain an enemy uniform, they can use the team door and penetrate the facility. They can also open the team door for other teammates - an engineer, for instance, who can proceed to dynamite the gun controls unhindered.

From here the Covert Ops can also satchel charge the Generator, opening the magnetic doors in four places - two protecting the gun controls, one at the rear entrance, and the last one by the West Bunker. The Axis must then rebuild the generator to close the doors.

===Areas of Interest===

==Allied Strategy==

Most of the team should start on the western beach. This location is heavily guarded, and most of the Axis will be spawning from the West Bunker in front of you. Expect a lot of marker flares, artillery strikes, and snipers.

Medics, Engineers, and Covert Ops are the three most valuable classes during the charge up the beach - medics should keep the team healthy and, most importantly, resurrect as many engineers as possible. The engineers should construct the Assault Ramp under the cover of Covert Ops smoke grenades. As soon as the Assault Ramp is constructed, charge up and immediately take the West Bunker, avoiding the Northwest Machine Gun as much as possible.

The East Beach is often unguarded, but a single Engineer can take the Command Post and have it help out a little. The rest of the time, it will rarely see action - if your team wishes to make the most of the back entrance, have a single Covert Ops stay behind and wait to see if an Axis Engineer will attempt to destroy the Command Post. Rarely ever will this happen, as the Axis know about the poorly defended rear entrance and will simply not come out of it.

==Axis Strategy==

The Axis have it easy at the start, but the farther the Allies penetrate the facility, the tougher it will be. The Axis have two spawn points - one in the barracks of the facility, and one is the West Bunker. Everyone should spawn at the West Bunker. If you wish to make the most of the Command Post, have your most skilled player spawn in the bunker, then work your way to the rear entrance and construct the command post. Then run like crazy back to the main entrance and make it through the team door. Ensure you didn't open the door for anyone by accident, then spawn at the West Bunker for the rest of the mission. If the Allies destroy the command post, do not rebuild it. It is much too risky to construct - the Allies will either find a dead end or a potential uniform. If they get a uniform, they can easily end the game.

Axis players should take all necessary precautions to prevent the Allies from obtaining a uniform - do not use the back door under any circumstance, and do not descend to the Allies' level.

If the Allies manage to construct the assault ramp, a covert ops should immediately satchel it. The northwest machine gun will prove useful if the Allies construct the ramp - anyone running to the west bunker is a sitting target for it.

Ensure also that the Generator is always online. The generator not only controls the magnetic doors at the front, but also the magnetic door at the back. If the Generator is destroyed, the Allies can attack from the rear and from the West Bunker, strongly disadvantaging your team. Rebuild the generator as soon as possible.
