German Mission 10: Point of No Return
Pushed into the icy steppes of their Motherland, the Russians have accelerated their research in a frantic attempt to come up with a weapon that can stop at least slow the Allied and German juggernaut. As John Lynch leads the Allied armies in the north, Hellmann is hurrying to a German base that has sounded the alarm indicating a Soviet counterattack. Arriving at the outskirts of the base, he learns that the Soviets have indeed come up with a new weapon: an Ice Bomb that has the same awful power wielded by the Ice Spitter tanks, but which covers a much larger area. And when a target has been frozen, even weak, plentiful units like Katyushas or small tanks can send even large buildings crumbling to the ground with just a couple of hits.
And as if they weren’t enough for Hellmann to deal with, there’s the issue of Preiss. The good news is that Hardt has found out where the old man is being held; the bad news is that the camp is surrounded by Soviet bases to the east, west, and north. Getting Preiss out of the POW camp might not be all that difficult, but getting away from it safely is an entirely different matter….
