SASL Mission A1

Pathclearing

BRIEFING:

Your unit has to breach the enemy’s forward positions, destroy the main line of resistance and clear a path for our armored spearhead to exploit through. Reconnaissance reports indicate that the enemy has been digging in to stop this offensive, so you will be given support if necessary. Clearing a gateway is of outmost importance for the remainder of this operation.
