Red Hammer Alamo

[vitoal125]

I'm about to use the endmission cheat because this is getting so bad. I have repelled the first three waves of the attack, but at the end of the third wave, all of my men are dead. The fourth wave of M60s come and I can't do anything about them. If I try to use the bmp to fight them, I get killed. If I try to at4 them, they shoot me through the thick brush. I tried using the bmp to push the shilka in a good position to ambush them, but they seem to see it through the buildings somehow and don't come into the city. Am I going to have to restart and replace my ammo crates in a better position or is there some way to do this. All the stuff is in the field to the southeast and the ammocrates are by the bushes there. If I have to restart, I think I'm just gonna use the cheat cuz this one takes too long.

Hi,

I used my usual "use their own weapons against them" method. I completed this mission on my first try (yes, really) and was by myself. I usually don't need the other guys unless I'm in a large fire fight. Anyway..

I laid out the fences so the tanks could get in, get stuck, then with there limited AI driving ability not be able to get out.

When the first wave comes, it's a single M1A1. It usually comes down the street with the fountain, thats where my trap is.

Place a satchel charge a fair distance away.. enough to send a shockwave over the vehicle and injure the crew.

Shoot them then get in the tank, drive over and to the repair truck and get it fixed, drive over to the ammo truck and get it filled up.

Now you have a brand new M1A1 tank in your possession.

Take a position on the hill just south of the city and use the gunner position to act as a sniper on the puny M-60's that attack.

Same tactic works with the Uh-60's and M113's landing troops in the area.. gun 'em down with the machine gun.

That's pretty much it, you spend a lot of time waiting and setting up. I'd like to note that I moved the repair truck in between some houses and surrounded the openings with the P3 Civils (trucks) so a tank or sabetour could not easily reach or destroy it -- or me by accident. If you drive up to the civil you're still in reach of the repair truck and can repair after each wave.

The ammo truck is out of fuel and doesn't move.. I spotted and killed a special op who was placing a satchel charge under the vehicle just before I shot him down.

That should do it.

Hope it helps!

Actually, I restarted and finished it on first try http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif . All my prior experiences helped me set a better trap and also good ambush positions for my men as well as myself. I never saw any black ops though, if they were in the m113s then they got blown up with everyone else riding in them when they hit the mini-minefield placed right where I knew they were going to stop and unload. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Those blackops come from the UH-60, my shilka soon dealt with em though.

[Black Op]

i set up my fences along along the south side of the village and put a satchel charge by the main road into town from the south, used it to kill the abrams that arrives, the crew may bail so be prepared to shoot

i then put mines on the left side (when facing south) next to a telegraph pole which took out 2 m60&#39;s leaving one which was easily finished off with a AT4

i then got in the bmp and completely wasted all the m113&#39;s that arrived and the paratroopers (kill the law soldiers first which jump out of the m113&#39;s and use HEAT rounds)

the next part is v tricky, a last wave of about 4 or 5 m60&#39;s, i used the bmp to kill these by running away and creeping slowly towards them so i can just see there turret and them fire away at them, hope this helps
