Complete Walkthrough for Soviet Campaign "Road to Victory"

[Enforcer1213]

I started playing Men of War last week and have gotten to the mission "Behind Enemy Lines" I'm able to get 3 of 4 secondary objectives. The only one that eludes me are the mines. I can't find a single one? When I approach the area it prompts to look for mines and look for a mine detector from the Germans if I dont have one.

From what I see on the screen there are distinct areas where to look shown by the red arrows. I have the mine detector out (He walks very slow by the way) Do I need to click to find the mines? Is there any indication that a mine has been found? I never see engineers putting mines in the road. Is this something that needs to be triggered somehow?

The reason why this is so frustrating is because even though I have all the other objectives completed including the main one, I get an automatic fail. It shows me losses on both sides like I've played the mission. I do see the cinematic sequences leading up to the siege at dawn but right when the action starts... it says I've failed.

Anyone run into this?

Do you actually have the mine detector? You have to have it in the inventory of a soldier, then you double click it and he gets it out, then tell him to walk up and down the road, the mines auto detect if you encounter any. Also, the failure, it is failing the get past the defense line? If so, stop killing so many guys. Your supposed to sneak, sabotage vehicles and defenses and kill as little as possible. You can only kill like 40 guys or something. You get a warning when your close to failing. Something about "were leaving tomuch evidence, any more and the Germans will call for reinforcements" If you get that, stop killing people...you'll get a fail after like 3 more kills. I just avoid the mine objective all together. There is a mine detector in the truck you start by if I remember right. Ive modded my missions so I dont recall whats actually in that truck.

Thanks. I actually found both mine detectors (the one in the truck and the one from the Germans). I do double click on the mine detector. Even for both soldiers that have it. They walk really slow with their mine detectors. I have them walk north and south on that road and they dont seem to do anything.

The failure for the 2nd part occurs after the cutscene with the timed explosions. We are getting ready to invade... I click continue and I get a fail showing how many infantry and vehicle casualties. I killed no more than 7 or 8 the last time around to see if that was the issue, but it isn't. I'm thinking something isn't right with the installation.

I had a bad installation. I re-installed the game and everything worked the way it should.

I can't beat the Sevastopol mission (6th Soviet). It's the only one I've had trouble with (on Easy) and it's ludicrous. The AT guns are big fat targets that can't even penetrate the Pz. IV's armor from the sides, the enemy human wave is staggering and any countermeasures I buy get blasted by sniper tanks, artillery or aircraft. I held until the 8th ship, but when the 3 extra tanks came in, they got blown up within 20 seconds by track-disabled tanks because that's the most I can do unless they get close enough to the trenches for AT grenades. The OP guide mentions friendly aircraft, but the mission says nothing of the sort.

For reference to capture an assault gun where you cannot smash its turret the procedure is to take off a single track and move your guys out of the assault gun / tank destroyers viewcone and attention span.
The result from that is that you can sneak up a single infantry man from behind and sit there waiting, the crew will think it is safe and pop out to fix the damaged track.
And as they do, you kill them one by one until the tank is empty.

For Sevastopol, the only way to survive is to hide your AT guns, aim for the turretof the Panzers and try to avoid smashing their tracks.
Get a guy in them and fast track them behind your lines and make quick repairs before you move them back up again for defending.
Tank theft is the best way, especially since you are in 90% of the cases under armored

Thanks, I didn't know about AT camo. But I managed to do it without tank stealing. The key for the first objective is lots of infantry holding on for dear life. If you hold until ordered to pull back, you can then call in T-34s and better AT guns, which can kill tanks much more easily.

For some reason when i take out the armored vehicle no new objectives are given and I stuck doing nothing, why is it doing that?

This is for the first mission
