Thus, the key to winning gold is capturing and holding all three watchtower points, or at least keeping units close enough to each one-preferably in buildings, or otherwise in cover-to snag any drop before “Jerry.” To win gold, you must capture the first six supply drops-if you do that, the Germans will hit zero points before the 7th drop comes. So by capturing more supply drops than the Germans, you can force them to go to zero before you do.
If you hold a given watchtower, you can see the surrounding area better, and can spot the supply drops before “Jerry.” Each side’s victory points tick down relentlessly unless it captures one of the supply drops, in which case its points go up a bit. The concept in “Watchtower” is that you have to capture German aerial supply drops, which come every few minutes, starting very early in the mission, near one of three watchtowers. So be ready to quit the program in Task Manager at any time to start over.Īlso, if you start a campaign and find that you’ve been assigned the Watchtower mission at level 3 difficulty on the Bastogne Outskirts map (the hardest map because it’s big and there are few buildings for cover), and you’re using un-upgraded companies, consider starting the campaign over or editing the campaign file-it’s really hard to get gold on that map with that mission and level of difficulty unless you’re an expert player, and your casualties are likely to be high even if you do succeed in getting gold. This can be one of the most difficult/unbalanced missions in Ardennes Assault, and your chances of getting gold-even on level 1 difficulty-depend on the map, and on dumb luck.
