Mission 3 - Top Dog

----------
Obejctives
----------

Primary:

1)  Capture or eliminate the German SS officer.

 - He'll be in one of the German cars in the small section of town in the
north-east corner.  After enough time passes, a decoy car will attempt to leave
the area.  The SS officer's car will follow shortly after that.

2)  Eliminate the enemy's detachments along the route of the SS officer and set
    an ambush.

 - Even though this is listed as an objective, there's really no way to
"complete" it.  Just be ready on the roads to stop the German cars from leaving
the area.

3)  Masha Borovitskaya must survive the mission.

 - If she dies, you fail.

4)  Dmitry Shevtsov must survive the mission.

 - If he dies, you fail.

5)  Vasily Mikhailov must survive the mission.

 - If he dies, you fail.

Walkthrough
-----------

Retreat your group of soldiers into the trees to the south, then select one
that's armed with a small machine gun and a few grenades.  Run him to the left
and start slaughtering the Germans in the forest, but make sure you avoid
sending any stray bullets towards the motorcycle and field gun farther up the
road.  Your goal is to clear the area around the south-west part of the road
leading off the map.  Once there aren't any Germans left around it, leave this
soldier there to guard it.

Select another one of your soldiers (again armed with a light machine gun and
a few grenades, at least one of which should be an anti-tank grenade) and send
him to the east.  Clear out the Germans in this section of forest just like you
did with the last section, but make sure you don't attract the attention of the
field gun or the machine gun vehicle.  You'll want to sneak around them from
above, toss your anti-tank grenade at the vehicle from the bushes, and then
machine gun the crew of the field gun before it can turn to attack you.

Another rush of Germans will probably attack you after that, so stand up and
find a defendable spot.  One soldier slightly to the north-east has a bazooka,
so be careful.  Once you've eliminated all of the soldiers, send another one of
your men to the end of the road on this side of the map to defend it, then take
your other one north along the far eastern edge of the map.

Eventually one of the German cars in the town will try to drive off of the
lower-right part of the screen, so use your soldier that you left down there to
destroy the car and kill the passengers.  You'll be told it was a decoy, so
watch the town to see where the second car goes.  Every time I've played this
mission, it always goes to the lower-left part of the map where I told you to
leave your first soldier, but it's conceivably possible that it could take one
of the other roads.  If it does, try to intercept it with the soldier you sent
up the east side of the map.  If you can't catch it in time, I guess you'll
have to move faster next time.  Either way, all you have to do is kill the SS
guy in the second car to end the mission.
