Mission 6 - Radars

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

Primary:

1)  Destroy the German radar.

 - The first tower is in the upper-left corner of the map.  The easiest way to
destroy it is to hit it with a shell from the mounted German gun above it, but
you can also just blow up the truck next to it or hit it with an anti-tank
grenade.

2)  It turned out there was more than one radar in this square.  Find and
    destroy the second radar.

 - The second tower is on the opposite side of the map from the first tower.
(Just click on the eye icon to see it if you can't find it.)  You'll have the
advantage of the forest for this one, so toss a molotov into it once you've
attracted the attention of most of the German defenders (the Tiger that's
patrolling the area has two molotovs in its inventory).  All you need to do
after that to end the mission is knock down the second tower.

3)  Dmitry Shevtsov must survive.

 - If he dies, you fail.

4)  Vasily Mikhailov must survive.

 - If he dies, you fail.

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

Select Dmitry Shevtsov, then examine your other troops and transfer their
grenades, bandages, and light machine gun bullet's to Dmitry's inventory.  You
should also grab the body armor off of Ivan Fomin.  When you're ready, send all
five of your soldiers west into the safety of the trees - you don't want the
German soldiers or the Tiger tank to see you from the road.

Send Dmitry north around the first section of water, then turn him to the right
and assault the barn.  Continue up the side of the map here under the next
section of water.  The first radar tower is next to the house in the far
upper-left corner of the map, but it's well-guarded.  Creep up to the German
machine gun vehicle using the bushes for cover and toss an anti-tank grenade on
it.  The German soldiers in the area will attack, so be ready to do some major
machine-gunning.  Be very careful that you don't let the mounted gun get a shot
at you.

Once you've cleared out the German soldiers, toss a light grenade over the
crates to kill the mounted gun's crew.  Get in the gun, take out the motorcycle
and self-propelled artillery piece above the lake, and then blow up the radar
tower.  Raid dead Germans for ammo if necessary, then procede eastward across
the top of the lake near the self-propelled artillery piece.  Be on the lookout
for those tiny white signs - they denote minefields, which you'll want to avoid
at all costs.

There're tons of German soldiers patrolling the roads here, a Tiger, and
several roadblocks.  Your goal is to cross the road and enter the huge field on
the other side.  You can deal with the patrolling soldiers and roadblocks if
you'd like, or you can just ignore them and continue over the ridge.  I suggest
you deal with the soldiers, though, because it'll make taking out the Tiger a
lot easier.

Why take out the Tiger?  It's got two molotovs in it, which will make it a lot
easier to take out the second radar tower.  Time your attacks on the troops and
roadblocks to avoid catching the attention of the Tiger, then when you've got
the Tiger one-on-one, hide in a bush and toss an anti-tank grenade at it.
You'll probably only knock a tread off, but thankfully, Tigers have painfully
slow turrets.  Once the tread is disabled, you'll be able to run circles around
it.  Toss a second anti-tank grenade on its engine, and the crew should
evacuate it.  Take the molotovs and head for the trees right below the second
radar tower.

Fire some shots at the Germans or toss a grenade at them to catch their
attention, then run out of the forest and toss a molotov into the trees.  Most
of the soldiers and the vehicle should wind up getting slaughtered by the
resulting blaze, but you'll probably have to pick off a few soldiers that
managed to escape.  Once the fire stops, simply run to the radar tower and toss
another anti-tank grenade at it to end the mission.

[If you don't feel like wasting the effort to stop the Tiger, you can simply
 crawl up to the radar tower from underneath using the bushes for cover, then
 toss an anti-tank grenade from there.  If you can turn around and run out of
 the forest fast enough, you should be able to end the mission before Dmitry
 gets killed.]
