Detailed walkthrough for Mission 9 of Company of Heroes, including tips for capturing points, building your army, and securing the final hill objective. Learn how to earn the Soldier's Medal.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by capturing the point to the right of your base and fortifying it with a MG squad and AT gun.
- 2Send a rifle squad, supported by a sniper and a Sherman tank, to the left field. Eliminate the bunker and infantry, then capture the point.
- 3Capture the remaining points in the area, scouting with a sniper. Use tanks against MG squads and infantry to capture points. Conserve resources by minimizing losses.
- 4Watch out for snipers on the left side of the map, beyond the hedgerows. Use tanks to eliminate them. Earn experience points to build howitzers.
- 5Build Shermans and acquire howitzers as soon as possible. Secure the points to the left of your base and advance upwards. Rangers can be built once howitzers are available.
- 6A scripted event will reveal the German artillery outpost. Use your artillery special power to destroy it before the fog of war returns.
- 7In the middle-right of the map, locate the checkpoint (small town). Use the exploding oil drums to damage German defenses, including an 88 gun that can be commandeered.
- 8After securing the area, use engineers to build two howitzers if resources permit, ensuring you have population limit space. Position howitzers on the hill and bombard the enemy. Use a sniper to reveal the area for maximum damage. Prioritize destroying threats like AT guns, bunkers, and panzers before rushing tanks to eliminate infantry.
- 9Build three squads of rangers and a halftrack. Advance cautiously, avoiding artillery barrages. Coordinate the ranger assault with a tank rush. Send all infantry into the hill.
- 10Capture the final hill at all costs. Expect at least an 80% casualty rate unless the hill is heavily shelled. The mission concludes upon controlling the hill. This mission can take around 33 minutes and may require multiple attempts for the Soldier's Medal.
Tips
- Fortify captured points with MG squads and AT guns early on.
- Use snipers for scouting and eliminating enemy infantry and threats.
- Prioritize building Shermans and howitzers for strong offensive and defensive capabilities.
