From what I can gather, you don't. The mission isn't made to be won. Call it a glitch, bad code, poor build- whatever. You simply do not have enough time to do the things it wants you do- while getting your butt handed to you by walls of APCs and Tanks. The Arma community on Reddit doesn't want to talk about it- the Arma community on Armaholic doesn't want to talk about it- it's the armpit scenario. I have destroyed the enemy HQ, held Msta, Pusta, my base in Stoyole, destroyed the offices, never found the villages to liberate. Razor team tried to help but died in the flood of Vodniks and BTRs.



You want your base north of Tulga near the coast. If it's not, I restart. I get 4 crewmen, I send two to Tulga, and the others to Pusta I rush out, take the boat and take Kamyshovo. I mine the road heading north with about 25 mines spaced out up that winding path. Heading west from there, I mine the east-west road as well with another 10-15 or so- I place a ZSU there just to irritate the trucks the mines dont get. I stock up on satchels (3 of them will do) and get a Metis RL with a spare rocket (2 magazines for the AR). Once the team takes Pusta and Tulga, hide them in the hills nearby.

Take out the offices and rush back to Kamysovo. If you're lucky, a tank will have been only damaged slightly from the mines. Drive it back to Kamy's camp, repair it and take out the Checkpoint. You can shell the hel out it then drop a ZSU on that camp. Order your crewmen to the coast road and pick them up on the wy back to HQ. Rocket soldiers and machine guns till you're broke- fast travel to Pusta. Mine the road heading south out of Pusta- 10 or so spaced alone the road will do. You can drop an SPG for good measure. Move your teams to the outer camps in Electro- they'll draw fire while your shelling the HQ.

Clear a path on that one big hill out of Pusta with the tank and shell the Russian HQ with HEDP. Destroy everything you can. The heavy factory and the HQ are essential, but you really want to there to be nothing left. Once done, haul it over to the other checkpoint. You can run up and activate Razor team but they're useless.

That takes about 2 hours. Offices destroyed, checkpoints cleared, Ru HQ is taken out, all done before sunrise at 0600. If anyone knows where the villages are, let us know.

With the enemy HQ taken out, the remining enemies can be mopped up with landmines and rocket soldiers, static defenses et al-

I've had the entire map under control, 90% of the enemies dead, everything done except foe the villages and still no victory page. So it's unwinable in my opinion.

That said, it's good fun- I just wish they'd have fixed it.

I remember it being absurd and laced with obscenities. If it's any consolation- it can be won. It's prohibitively time consuming and needlessly complicated, but if I can do it, anyone can.

I did it too! in an entirely different way. From the beginning of the play, you can bomb the enemy base with a metis rocket launcher and 6 missiles from the hill east of electrozavosk. It only takes less than 20 minutes to get here. After cutting off the enemy's head, it took less than an hour to organize everything. But I didn't get the victory page.

also this is ACE mode.
