Use the M8 in these firefights in a way that makes it less of a target, as it is far less robust than the Shermans. Note that at the third and fourth points the Germans will have both Paks and AT-nading panzerfusiliers, so you will have to do lots of micro, your vehicles will sustain some damage, and you will have to spend a bit of time repairing them. To speed things up at the first three points, have your tanks wipe most of the defenders and then move on, leaving the survivors to be mopped up by your following infantry and the M8. Repeat this for all four of the territory points along the road to the top of the map. The German infantry there cannot seriously harm any of your three vehicles so blast away, and have your infantry follow closely to capture the point and grab any ammo boxes lying around. Immediately switch your Shermans to fire high-explosive shells and without delay send them and the M8 to the first point on the road.

You’ll do this mission with Baker Co., unless Baker is not on your roster, in which case you’ll have to do it with Fox Co.Įither way, you start with two Shermans and one of the little M8 armored cars, plus two squads (cav rifle or Rangers).
