Obejctives

Primary:
1) Capture the railway station and head to the railway bridge using the German
locomotive.
- Really you just need to capture the train in the middle of the station, but
that'll be a little difficult (and a tad dangerous) if you don't neutralize
most of the Germans in the station first.
2) Capture the bridge.
- Once you've captured the abandoned Panther in the railway station, use it to
clean out the German defenses around the bridge.
3) Dmitry Shevtsov must survive.
- If he dies, you fail.
4) Vasily Mikhailov must survive.
- If he dies, you fail.

Walkthrough
-----------
Start in the usual manner - collect the best equipment from your men onto a
single soldier, and make sure he's got a helmet and the body armor. Proceed to
the east towards the railway station and approach it from underneath. German
soldiers are swarming inside, so you'll want to fight as many of them out here
as possible - fire a few shots into the base to catch their attention. Take
out the closest guard tower while you wait, then find a safe spot to defend
that's not in the mounted machine gun's line of fire.
When things calm down, sneak up on the mounted machine gun from its lower-left
and toss a grenade at it from the bushes. Take care of the anti-aircraft gun
up and to the left of there in the same manner, but make sure you don't go west
of the road - that section of trees is mined. Get in the anti-aircraft gun
once you've taken out its occupants and use it to deal with the huge mounted
gun directly above you. Immediately abandon the anti-aircraft gun and return
to the forest where you defended against the first German onslaught.
More Germans will rush you from the railway station. Deal with them, then move
north up the road once it's safe. Pick off any remaining soldiers, but watch
out for machine gun fire from inside the station. Your next objective is to
clear out the area around the abandoned Panther about a screen above the train.
I suggest you get all the way to the top of the map, then move east through the
buildings to attack the guard tower and mounted gun from above.
The Panther's got a repair kit in it, but it's not damaged (unless it was
accidentally damaged during your attack). Try to clear out as many soldiers
from the area as possible, then get in the Panther and drive it westward to the
road. Turn around and use your machine gun to deal with any soldiers that come
after you. Send three of your other men to the Panther now, but watch out for
the minefield on the way.
Now that you've got a fully manned Panther, crush the remaining German vehicles
and soldiers in the railway station. The only significant threats are the
tanks inside the large buildings, especially the one in the large warehouse on
the eastern edge of the base (since it's a Tiger). Clear out the rest of the
Germans in the base and capture the Tiger intact if possible, then use your
fifth soldier to capture the train. Be ready to defend against a second train
that'll come in from the west.
The only thing left to do is assault the bridge, which is easy with the aid of
the Panther or the Tiger. Drive towards the bridge on the railroad tracks,
then pick off the Tiger near it. If the rocket launcher fires at you,
immediately retreat at least half a screen away. If it doesn't fire at you,
blow it away before it gets the chance. Finish off any soldiers in the area,
then pick off the defenses on the other side of the bridge to end the mission.
