Miss:the pass (after fireworks) help ! - spoiler

[rimblock 0]

Ok,

The mission after Fireworks (The pass I believe).

How do you stop the convoy turning back (or are you not able too)

I have dodged the UAZ and layed mines after it has gone.

1 T80, 1 T72 and a BMP come to check the area, none come close to the mines and my men are well hidden (no fire from the enemy) but I still get the 'Convoy is turning back' message).

Have taken out the T80, T72 and 2 BMPs after the message but got hammered by the Shulka (all that running back for rpg's).

Played this with only 5 men (dont ask, Fireworks, got to town with all enemy dead then counterattack took out the two tanks and 5 of my men).

Replayed Fireworks and now have 8 men for 'The Pass'.

Any help most welcome.

Cheer

You must have been spotted by someone.

Try again, hide your men, order them to go prone and hold fire afcourse.

Ok,

will have to keep on trying then.

Just wanted to make sure the convoy isn't meant to turn around.

Usually if you are spotted then they open fire but they didn't this time, mid you the BMP got stuck trying to go up the mountain towards my base.

This is actually a pretty easy mission. First, when you start, load as many of your men as you can into the two tanks at the top of the hill and tell them to wait.

Second, run to the crates, grab a mine and as many satchel charges as you can. Run down to the waypoint, and place the mine smack dab in the center of the road (after the UAZ has passed). Then, from there, start placing the satchels down the road a fair distance apart. I used 8 last time I played. When you need more, rush to the hill and get more from the crates. Put about 7-8 down the road almost to the crest of that hill. Then pick up a RPG and wait.

The convoy will come, the first tank will bounce off the mine, and there's your key to detonate. Typically, I'm able to take about all but one tank (which is easily taken care of by my two and a RPG).

Enjoy!

Head SE of where you start. Make sure all your guys have RPGs and AA. Now, get onto the cliff overlooking the pass. It's a narrow jeep trail. Wait for the UAZ to pass. Wait for the first T72 and BMP to get almost past you. As soon as you see the convoy. have your men target the trucks, and the tanks that are near you. When its close, you take out the back truck. Then the front one. THe middle ones go insane wit their AI drivers. After you pick them off the convoy is gone. Then the anks near you should be destryoed too. If you targeted and ordred your men right.

I done something simular to storm_chaser.

Order three guys into the T80, and 2 guys in the BMP as driver and gunner. Then I order the two tanks to go straight north up into the valley.

Quickly run down and place three satchels in a line along the road, and get back to the top before the UAZ arrives.

Then when it is passed, carry on placing more satchels along the road until you here TAZ says he sees the convoy.

Get back to the top and get a RPG and order the remaining guys to get RPG's also. (Note - One of your guys starts of with a RPG I think...)

SAVE GAME at this point.(Hold shift and the - key on the number pad, then type SAVEGAME.)

Two tanks come along first (T80 and BMP). Let them run on and hopefully your guys in the tanks will take them out!

Wait until the rest of the convoy comes and set the satchels off in the middle of the convoy. Kills most of em. Finish the rest with RPG's.

Worked for me...

Thanks for all the replies.

Finished it after the first reply here and have to agree it is an easy mission.

All I did was grab 3 charges and got my men to get one mine each. After the UAZ had gone I got everyone to run down to where there are two rocks after the position marked as hold and got them to place mines all around the two rocks.

Ran every one back to restock with rpg rockets whilst placing the charges. if you run back in the direction th convoy comes from then there is a small rock just where the mountain U start on turns from grass to rock (other side of the road). Place one charge by the path there, one by the next tree on the other side of the road and one by the tree on the same side as the rock further towards the convoys staring point.

Ran back and got some rpg rockets and then back to an overhang in the rock area so I can see the road and the rock that marks the first charge. Just as the tanks find the mines, the convoy should be between the rock and the last tree with the charge. As they start to turn around (and thus stop) detonate the charges and you take out the entire convoy. Use the rpg to take out any missed armour U want to.

When escaping I first just headed for the waypoint, came off the side of the mountain in the tank straight into the water. Second time I followed a route by the map rather than direct by waypoints.

Good fun overall.

Cheers

Rims.
