company of heroes 2 ardennes assault walkthrough

Step 1: Take the first territory point on the road N of your base. (It is possible to stop even the first one, but that cannot be done every time.) Much depends on the level of difficulty, which starts at 2 but can go up if nearby battles send German units fleeing to Stavelot. Gold requires killing all fuel trucks but one, i.e., you may let the first one go but you must kill all the others. It’s a moderately difficult challenge to win with the gold medal. You may also attempt one of four possible side-missions. The goals of the mission are 1) to fight your way up the map, so that 2) you can get in the way of, and destroy, fuel trucks that are leaving a well guarded fuel point and trying to drive by a certain route off the map, then 3) to close in on and capture the fuel/truck depot, and finally hold it for a few minutes against furious counterattacks.

The Stavelot mission is a good one for building XP/veterancy (usually 80+ points), though it’s best not to attempt it while unvetted.
