First mission north

[femohi]

What's the way of capturing russian soldiers? I have taken the center trenches going around the trees near the village depot, they have been susprised for behind, but all of then die or try to run away. I can't get any prisoners.
In the right side of the map, they began to run away after using my mortars and flaks against them.

Not all Russian soldiers can be captured. Most have to be killed or will retreat until they are either killed or escape. The soldiers that can be captured raise their hands and stand still. They then either come under your command as unarmed combatants or remain as neutral. This occurs when your troops come into close contact with the 'surrendering' soldiers. Usually if there are soldiers to be captured their is an objective that is listed but this is not always the case. Hope this helps. Prisoners can be very useful !!!

Thank you!

Capturing dug-in infantry or infantry in houses is generally situational. If you cut their line of retreat before their morale breaks they'll surrender. If you don't and they have a clear line of escape, they will run for it. Who wouldn't.

The best way to capture russian prisoners is to place Tiger behind those trenches ;D ,this way you will shot the jackpot for sure.

I have finished mission one after taking the third village and repel one russian counterattack , but the left part of the map is invisible to me. Perhaps is it due to that I have only got prisoners when the third village falls in my hands? Is there any others objectives in this mission?

[BBFred]

The mission will not end until you've located and stormed the command bunker. You need to force enter some infantry inside in order to do that (Alt + Click).

[femohi]

What I mean is that the mission is finished (I see the window telling me the mission is over), but still all the left part of the map is dark for me, and I think there must be a lot of russians there.

[BBFred]

Ah ok. Well you can always click the "Resume" button and quit the mission once you've reconned that area. That won't cause any problem, and you can quit any time later on to finish the mission.
