You will lose at least one vehicle and much of your infantry, but your HMGs/LMGs and maybe rifle grenades should win this skirmish for you. Your AT gun can position itself behind your armor, to hit the Russian T-70 that is likely to attack, late in the battle. Your HMGs can go near your vehicles and should suppress/pin the Russian infantry in the point your grens can go in the buildings to the SE and E of the point. Once your force is assembled and not far to the W of the lower/left watchtower point, they should attack that point (see image above). Use your pios, on the way, to cap the point on the road. When you have done all that, send your units, vehicles in front, to the W, below the cliffs where the nearest Russian 203mm artillery piece is. Upgrade at least one of your gren squads with LMGs. Send your pioneers about 100 m to the NE of your base, where they’ll find an abandoned T-70 and can repair and crew it (you should also reinforce what’s left of the pio squad). Send your three starting gren squads to cap territory points near your base the gren capping the one to the left of your base has to retreat immediately after capping or be shelled by Russian 203mm super-heavy artillery. The bottom line is that it is really up to you to achieve most of the mission objectives, so your forces will always be stretched very thinly. However, when you have a CPU-ally, it struggles to achieve its first, easiest objective, then, unless you give it plenty of help, it typically gets overrun by Russian armor and elite infantry, base-rushed, and finally base-wiped, at least until you kill the Russian units in its base area so it can rebuild. I guess that it is not especially challenging if your ally is a human player. The two middle objectives are by far the hardest ones. The objectives are to capture one heavily guarded point almost immediately then, after a buildup, to take two even more heavily guarded points to complete an encirclement lastly to defend against an attempted breakout by Russian armor and trucks. The 2 v 2 “Encirclement at Smolensk” mission is engaging but can take well over 30 minutes to complete. Theater of War Mission Pack: Operation Barbarossa
