@Final Viking115, I recommend getting more medals to give you additional advantages prior to trying the para wings challenge. Meritorious unit commendation arms your para equipped with Springfield with M1 Garand. As your men rank up, equip them with Tommy gun and BAR. For example, if I have 6 paras, I will put 4 on top half of screen with Tommy guns, and 2 on the bottom half with BARs. The reason is to spread them out in case of German support weapons, to counter sd kfz 222 on bottom half of screen, to protect your BARers by placing them in the rear, and to fetch crates.
@FinalViking115, put all your paratroopers on the top of the screen (around 3/4 way) to kill enemies faster and destroy armoured units with sock bombs (your only AT weapon in the challenge!). Save TPs in the first15-20 waves to add reinforcements. Get a para ranked up to Sgt quickly so you can use "cease fire" - it helps when you try to sock-bomb tanks and want your para to move out of the blast radius ASAP.
@flamewingman, you gain ground by moving all your troops at the top edge of the map. BE CAREFUL when you do this, because any German that's still on the map or shows up as you advance counts as flankers. And you want to time it correctly so all your troops advance at the same time as to not leave one man behind when all others move forward. I suggest having an officer so you can order "cease fire" to control your men's movement.
Finally got Victoria Cross for the first time in eight and a half years! Woohoo!
There is a pillbox and bunker bug where some time in the game, it will move itself and not cover your troops.
Also, I find that sabotage doesn't work even if your Frenchie succeeded in his mission. For example, my Frenchie blew up a bridge so Germans can't bring armoured vehicles in 5 waves, then.......... a German tank shows up the next wave. Does anyone have this issue?
