New Map Descriptions
Flanked from Above is a free Skirmish mission that takes place in a
rural town of Normandy during the famous D-Day invasion. Players take
on the German role with orders to defend against the American
paratroopers descending from the night sky! Play solo or cooperative
with a friend to complete this unique and challenging mission.
The new Skirmish mission,
Across the Marsh, for BiA:Earned in Blood is
the largest Skirmish mission to date! Players are challenged to fight
across the open marsh toward the city, where several paths are
available to complete the same objective. Victory will not come easily
in the city. The Germans will put forth their best defense, so playing
cooperatively with a friend might help you conquer this map.
Locate and destroy German flakvierling anti-aircraft weapons amongst
the hedgerows and fields of the new EiB Skirmish mission,
Into the
Farm, but beware! The weapons are guarded by mortar fire and Germans
expertly using the bocage to their advantage. Once you've taken the
farm, you must use all the squad tactics learned from the original EiB
missions to defend it!
