Follow this detailed walkthrough for Company of Heroes' Walkthrough (5) mission. Learn how to rescue Dog Company, defend your HQ, and destroy the Axis front base.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start near your HQ. First things first, clear out any enemy units that are foolish enough to wander too close to your base. Once the immediate area is secure, push forward to find and rescue Dog Company.
  2. 2
    When you head out to find Dog Company, make sure you use the Sherman anti-mine flail. It's crucial to follow the path it clears so you don't accidentally trigger any mines and blow up your units.
  3. 3
    Rescuing Dog Company should be pretty straightforward. Once they're safe and sound, gather all your units and bring them back to your HQ. It's time to hunker down and fortify your position.
  4. 4
    Warning: If you push too far past the Dog Company house, or if a hidden timer runs out, you'll trigger a major Panzer counterattack. That's exactly why we want everyone back at the HQ – to concentrate our defenses and deal with them effectively.
  5. 5
    Now, defend your base like your life depends on it. Use your AT guns and Shermans to fend off the enemy. Keep your engineers busy repairing any damaged tanks. Your build order here is key: aim for 4 rifle squads, replace your halftrack if it gets destroyed, build 2 AT guns to cover your base, and then focus the rest of your production on Shermans. An M8 armored car can also be really useful if you've purchased the upgrade that allows light vehicles to capture points.
  6. 6
    With your base secure, it's time to slowly advance across the map. Capture any points you come across and clear out any enemy forces you encounter. Try to avoid capturing the main objective points on the road just yet. If you secure the road too early, the convoy will show up, and things will get a whole lot more complicated. Your main goal is to destroy the German front base, otherwise, they'll just keep respawning and retaking the territory you've fought so hard for.
  7. 7
    Be extra careful when you're moving along the roads after the intersection. They're heavily mined. Use your Anti-mine Sherman or have your engineers use their mine detectors to safely clear a path.
  8. 8
    The main Axis front base is located on the top right of the map. This is where you'll need to focus your offensive. Use your Shermans to deal with any garrisoned buildings, as they're great at clearing them out. Your infantry can handle the German anti-tank guns. Your engineers are also invaluable here; use their demolition ability to bring down the tougher enemy structures more quickly.
  9. 9
    Once you've secured the road, clear any remaining mines and get ready for more German attacks. Bring one of your Shermans to the rear of the convoy to protect its flank. You need to hurry and secure the road so the convoy can make its way through safely.
  10. 10
    Tip: This mission can become incredibly frustrating if you don't completely clear the map of German buildings and armor units. Make sure you leave no stone unturned!
