Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the mission. I can assure you that it's beatable (Did it myself on normal and hard), you just have to be smart about disabling the panzers. Track them and then aim for their little turrets- the hull is 80mm thick on all sides and is also mine resistant, making it a tough nut to crack.

First of all, save scum! It's singleplayer, and no (serious) person would judge.
Second, you can destroy the super-armored tankettes by shooting 76mm HE shells at their turrets: tank roofs are usually very thin, so a large enough HE shell can just blow through the roof plating as if it weren't there. Aim for the middle or lower sections of the turret.
Third, as for the Bison SPG (the artillery tankette) and the 88mm, you can sort of hit them with the 76mm by moving it forward a bit. Otherwise, hide one or more soldiers with AT grenades and/or molotovs on the left side of the frozen riverbank, where there's lots of bushes for them to lay down and wait. It's kind of, sort of possible to do a Zarodino-Banzai suicide charge and get a lucky 'nade on those targets.

A few tips;
X Play the first part of the mission in prep for the 2nd part.
X get the truck into a safe position. dont loose the engeneers.
X remember to grab the extra ammo for the AT gun during part 1 from the boxes.
X place tank traps during part 1 in prep for part 2. Espeacoally to the right of your position as tanks will spawn there during part 2.

X In part 2 use tank traps alot.
X molotovs are the AT grenade of choice. 1 hit kills all tanks.
Hide infantry infront of your lines to get better viewrange and to burn down tracked tanks.
X Try and take out the middle base.

i think first part is harder than the second part
so if you can preserve enough stuff in part one you will be fine.

I'm playing that mission right now and the two panzer 1's are invincible for me too!! They drove through multiple layers of anti tank mines plus at infantry and the at gun. All my infantry was killed and made the mission unplayable. Did you ever manage to find a fix?

If you have a save game around that time I would like to check if they are invincible

DJSatane, I had no problems winning this mission on hard, but I have to agree with the people who are saying that the Panzer I are immune to landmines.

They walk over them and nothing happens. They survive everything, but somehow, one hour they are abandoned.

I think there is some kind of bug there.
