British Armed Forces Mission #3 Help

[vaulcan 10]

Hi All,

I got set up with all the Arma 2 packs and add-ons but with the British Armed Forces Mission #3 i cant get past it. PLEASE could someone point me in the right area for help? i hold up at the base and deploy as many guns as my construction budgit lets me and man them all. i also put a guy in each corner tower but i keep getting over run with enemy men and armor. also having just one artillery strike, were and when should i use/put it?

realy enjoying the game but this has had me stuck for three days now and i cant go any further. maybe even advise as to were i can find some cheats? just a thought..

Cheers V'

Was about to post this link aswell.

Also Vaulcan, you may have noticed it was Christmas and people might have had other things to do than post on forums.

About the mission itself, yes its hard and frustrating but its possible, i didnt even notice i had a artillery strike availeable till shortly before the end.

Dont buy too many machineguns as the men in them are easy targets and dont engage too great, place the few you buy so that they are not extremely visible to the enemy from all angles.

Place your men on strategic positions where they have bit of cover and order them to lay low and dont move.

When static MG crews get killed get in, wipe out the enemy wave and quickly get out before they all start to shoot at your position.

Also grab yourself as much rockets for a launcher as you can get as a lot of vehicles will roll in later.

The mission reminded me of some really hard stuff in the OFP era as its unforgiving but as said its quite possible if you react fast and place you guys wise.

Yet you may have to play it more then once to win.

IIRC correct mission #3 is Heat correct? what i did, is i moved out of that outpost that keeps getting hit with the artillery. it took me a few tries to know where and when the armor comes from, but once i did i just set up mines, and at teams to counter them. also, with the mortar teams northeast of your position, once you know their location an artillery strike will destroy them quickly. and the takiban outpost on the hill to the northwest can be destroyed by you and your men after you've held off the attacks on the FOB, just take your jackal and drive up there. it is frustrating yes, and it took me at least 4 tries to complete it.

After several tries I finally finished the mission except 1 task "Convoy". I ran away from FOB to uphill with my team - attacked enemies from strong point from the hill (though I lost my 2 men) called artillery strike to destroy 1 big enemy force with tanks- again went back in FOB - rearmed there - captured the observation post - killed two mortars.. It was real fun :)
