Stop Wildfire is the sixteenth mission of Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines.

Historical Background

September, 1944. The Allies begin a rapid advance over Belgium. A strong determination leads the Allied command to cross the Rhine. Preparations for Operation Market Garden are being arranged.

Objectives

As the German forces retreat behind the Sigfried Line, they will try to demolish the bridge over the Maas river, north of Liege, in order to block the way of Allied troops.

Your mission will be to avoid the blow-up at all costs.

Tactical Advice

Well, officer, let's get to the point. The enemy has placed some explosive devices in the bridge. Every one of them has one enemy sapper in charge. Their orders are to keep a close watch on each other and detonate their devices if anything suspicious happens. Therefore, you'll have to do away with them almost simultaneously. Once you've done this, escape this way. I want that bridge intact, officer. Thank you.

Notes:

• Spy clothes are due south.
• With the Spy driving you can mow down patrols, just clear everyone and those who comes to see.
• Place truck behind the pillbox on bridge, Enemy Sapper will get stuck and can be killed at leisure.

Trivia

• This is the only mission that allows the Spy to drive a Truck since the Driver is not present in this mission. In fact, this is the only way to block the bridge in order to not let the enemy sapper get to the detonator.
