Detailed walkthrough for Company of Heroes mission 13, covering capturing victory points, dealing with 88 guns and Ostwinds, and earning the Silver Star medal.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the start, use your engineers to build defenses around the hill. Choose your command powers (airborne or infantry are recommended).
  2. 2
    Destroy the two German bases on the right and the central 88 battery emplacement. Use airborne/ranger squads with grenades, or artillery if on the infantry path. Do this quickly to prevent your hill defenses from being overrun.
  3. 3
    Capture the lower victory point first. Deal with the guarding 88 gun using grenades and infantry charges. Build an MG emplacement with engineers to defend this point.
  4. 4
    Next, capture the victory point to the right of the base. This area is a common German assault path. A rifle squad, ranger, or airborne squad can capture it, and engineers can build an MG emplacement for defense.
  5. 5
    Use your howitzer to bombard the final victory point. Send in two infantry squads to capture it. Be wary of Ostwinds (anti-air tanks) and use sticky bombs to counter them.
  6. 6
    Understand the victory bar: capturing victory points decreases the enemy's meter faster. Controlling all points maximizes this effect.
  7. 7
    If victory point control is equal, meters don't decrease. Controlling fewer points leads to loss. To earn the medal, maintain control of at least 2 points at all times. Capturing all 4 points significantly reduces German assault initiative.
  8. 8
    The primary threat in this mission is armored vehicles. Ensure AT guns guard all approaches and station your Wolverine on the hill. Upgrade engineers with flamethrowers to counter accompanying infantry.
  9. 9
    Once all 4 points are captured, focus on defending them until the mission ends.
Tips
  • Prioritize destroying the 88 guns early to protect your advancing units.
  • Use the environment to your advantage; hiding behind guns can cause them to destroy each other.
  • Upgrade engineers with flamethrowers to effectively deal with German infantry.
  • Sticky bombs are crucial for taking down Ostwinds.
  • Maintain constant control of at least two victory points to ensure medal progression.
