How to win Last Battle?!

[mfrbarrett]

How the ♥♥♥♥ are you supposed to defend the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fort? I use the MG, howitzer, etc, I lose. I don't use them, I lose. I kill everything and still get my ass slapped by scripted artillery barrages. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ planes show up too late to do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bit of good. I husband my men's lives, I lose, I spend their lives, I lose. I have upgraded weapons and more ammo than god, and I still lose. What the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥!? I can't even beat the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing on lower difficulty. How the ♥♥♥♥ do they expect us to win?

I just posted something similar, I am very early in the game but had my squad nearly decimated from a scripted artillery in the early mission where you take out the red training camp, I have no medkits and no food and my soldiers are at death's door, so I'm unable to win any battles

Just stay around the flag, I did it on first run pretty ez. Run around even on walls, on tanks use artillery when they are trying to capture the flag. AI is not that smart, but you will likely lose a lot of soldiers.

the way i did it was to spread my squad out over the fort and used a MG on overwatch on the wall covering the gate and using the artillery gun for aslong as i can before the tanks push me off also snipers deathzone is op . Then i just hit the tanks with the trains arty ability.

Also i think the first enemy arty always targets the flag so i wouldn't have anyone there then just keep a eye out for where there gonna hit .Also i lost a sniper cause they were downed when the timer ran out and even though the medic was treating her we just ditched her

The Artillery is not scripted, its random. Move the tank out of the way, you need it at full health. Use snipers to eliminate enemy granade solders.

A solid point to defend is the ledge of the wall in frot of the Flag. You have full cover in both directions. There are enemys coming from behind, but thats only one small wave and one officer. Get your soldiers in that full cover and use the tank to flank enemys that are in cover.

Granades are very usefull. They take out a bunch of enemy at once. The cooldown of your atrillery strike matches the time between the two armored cars and the 3 tanks. Try to have one sniper at watch to spot the armored cars ASAP and give them a warm welcome.

So, turns out, without the artillery car it's just impossible to win the final battle, alright?

Just as the post's author said, I tried everything to hold the fort, but with only 10 soldiers against (at least) more than a hundred (not mention cars and tank), there is no way to avoid the loss.

Anyone finished the game with no artillery car? I had no artillery cause in one playthrough I didn't find any artillery ammo even in gun markets, so it was useless.

How to get those shells, can anyone help me?

F***, I'll have to play it all over again till I can arrive in the final battle with an artillery car AND artillery ammo...if only we could skip the tutorial mission, I almost can't take it anymore.

89 hours played, 39 achievements, and back to square one....great game, but really frustrating to know about it too late );

send your best players,

do the side mission to receive 2 more soldiers(let them handle the Howitzer)

lay mines for enemy tanks

put your soldiers elsewhere before the enemy scout plane come out, only after that, put them in position to avoid Howitzer destroyed by enemy arty

I finished the game without an artillery car. Held the front of the fort using grenades (can kill enemy groups when they spawn) and critical shot from snipers to kill grenadiers. My troops held on the wall. Dodge the artillery when necessary. Sniped the armored cars. When the tanks come make sure to save some extra grenades saved for them. I also got a bit lucky with the tanks, when i destroyed the one in the front the others stopped moving forward, otherwise i just harassed them with the snipers.
