Battle of Somato[edit]

For this mission, you can control one of three different squads, but you need to manage one of them for the preparation.

Order your forces to board the Humvees with the TOW launcher, and have your squad drive the two vehicles to the your rally point. The other two squads have their own transport to their rally points. When the signal is given to attack, drive forward, and use the TOW launchers against the vehicles. You will need to keep moving, as the enemy infantry are the greatest threat to your squad.

When there's enough damage, the enemy forces will retreat to the south. You can follow them, but should move slowly with the Humvees, as any stragglers are still a great threat against you.

The second rally location is to the south, where there are reports of incoming forces from the south. Save your game at this point. In total, there are three BMP-2. They may likely destroy the TOW Humvees, and if so, you can switch to either the other two groups and use your anti-tank specialists to finish them off. If they are killed, you need to retrieve their launcher and finish off the BMPs yourself.

When the BMPs are destroyed, the units are directed to approach the base to the south, about ~800 meters away. Aside from a potential single patroller to the left, there's no threat to intercept you. When you reach the base, an artillery strike is called, and will take care of most of the enemies. Simply order your forces to attack any soft targets. When your squads are victorious, you can head back to base.
