The 9th mission is a mixed bag of difficulty. While the objective is to simply assassinate four Soviet officers, six for the bonus... Your means to do so are limited due to how useless most of your units are compared to the AI's. You'll start with two half-tracks, two Panzer Grenadier squads, and 2 snipers. While you do have some manpower to replenish losses, any squads wiped out are gone for good so take good care of your snipers especially! Each time an officer is eliminated, expect the map to spawn increasingly difficult units to counter your forces. Personally, the largest obstacle is the 120mm mortar crews that will demolish anything caught in their range. Given they start with six men in a squad and can operate with just a single unit doesn't make it ideal for your snipers to handle given how much micro it would take to dodge incoming shells. My advice is to load up a single half-track and head straight down the road on the left side of the map and navigate as I did to isolate and capture it for yourself after dealing with it's current crew. You can see from that interaction alone how unreliable the PGrens are in this challenge. In the event your weapons crew fails to respond to your commands, I suggest using the half-tracks to nudge them to help rubber band the unresponsive unit back into place so you can actually utilize them. If an officer is out in the open at one of the several preset designations (it's random in retards to which ones they spawn at) then you can let your snipers pick them off and move on with ease. If they're hiding in a scout car then you'll need to destroy it with either your Panzer Grens or Mortar crew. The Panzer Grens won't last long in direct engagements with Guards Rifle or Shock Troops so the mortar is more ideal if you've managed to capture one. As things escalate, the center of the map and outlier roads will be patrolled by response units such as Snipers, a T-70, and eventually a T-34. Ideally, you can eliminate enough officers back to back to avoid any drawn out fights. Enjoy!

There's nothing I love more after a long, hard day of existing than to watch a professional ace a challenge I personally struggle with. Well done.

[@blacksamurai76]

Damn those anti-vehicle rifles are op 😮😮😮😮

[@InsanityorNothing]

Well you made short work of this one! Excellent job as always :)

[@filiptrescec]

When in doubt, blow it up. An approach that can't go wrong, especially if you can use the weapons of the enemy. Nice work.

[@StarMarshal]

@@filiptrescec it's 120mm so essentially free artillery.

​@@StarMarshalI always loved playing with them. No better way to soften up the enemy before the push to take the ground.

Is this an assassination mission? I suspect this was some Uriah the Hittite scenario against you. Still, this prolly beats some Men of War stealth missions. *Prolly.* RTS missions like this are interesting, since individual radio comms weren't quite advanced in WW2 (also, no satellites, unlike in Command and Conquer). Are you, the commander, fighting alongside the squaddies from one of the half-tracks? 2:47: Surprising this didn't kill anyone, unlike, again, Command and Conquer and other video games like Doom. 4:27: One down. 6:08: Two down. If this were real life, your usages of mortars should have blown your cover and made all the enemy swarm at you. 12:04: Three down. 13:16: Four down. 13:48: Five down. 14:33: Not sure what happened, but hey, six down. Exfil now, brave infiltrators!
