Contents

ConquestEdit

The only map to feature the Canadian forces, the Canadians must launch an attack from their unconquerable base upon the 5 conquerable German positions, one on the Canadian side of the canal, one at Pegasus bridge and the other three in the town of Caen.

In addition to their unconquerable base, Canadian forces can utilize a paratroop spawn point on the Caen side of the canal once they have captured at least one German flag.

BasesEdit

Allied BaseEdit

The Ally base is where the Canadian Army will spawn at. It's unconquerable and is accessible by two bridges. The layout is a brown building that spawns an M7 Priest, an M4 Sherman, a Lynx scout car outside.

South BaseEdit

This is an artillery base, There is a repair station near the MBT spawn. It also spawns a mobile artillery unit, a scout car and a medium tank. There's a two story building that holds a medical cabinet and an ammunition crate on the bottom floor. The upper floor consists of a bedroom where snipers can shoot either the Canadian or German attackers. Near the base are two commando rafts. Two MG emplacements can be found here, one overlooking the artillery in a guard tower. The other is in a bunker overlooking the raft spawn position.

Pegasus BridgeEdit

This base consists of artillery and MG emplacements. If the Canadian army controls the South Base, expect attackers from the east.  There is a medial cabinet in the two story building, on the bottom floor, and a supply crate near the Kettengrad/Lynx spawn point in the grey-stone building.

ParkEdit

Located in the eastern part of the city, The Park is blocked off to vehicles by buildings and roadblocks and can be only accessed by a small opening near the German HQ. Its capture radius is in the open, so beware of snipers or soldiers opening fire out of windows, alleyways and buildings.

ChurchEdit

The Church point is located in the western part of the map. Players can snipe from the belfry and can pick off any attackers that try to capture the flag. There is plenty of cover behind gravestones and the wreckage of aircraft. 

German HeadquartersEdit

This is the Germans main base. It spawns the only vehicles besides the South Base. It spawns a Hanomag half-track, two medium battle tanks and a light vehicle. Its capture radius is in a small little garden surrounded by a fence.
