Escort Mission

To win the round, you must escort the tank to specified point within the Mission Time. The mission is a failure if you do not complete the escort within the given Mission Time.
Attack Team

The tank moves forward only when a friendly player is nearby. If there aren't any friendly forces nearby, the tank will stop moving. You can check how far the tank has moved with a gauge located on the top of the screen.
If the tank stops moving due to extensive damage sustained from enemy attack, move close to the tank and repair with 'E' key. The tank will start moving again once repairing is finished.
Defense Team

While on the mission field, you can pickup antitank weapons (RPG7) to intercept the tank.
You can open the RPG7 weapon boxes with 'E' key, then pick it up using 'G' key.

You can fire the RPG7 only after taking aim with its Sighting Scope.
A successful attack with the RPG7 will stop the tank from moving.

Operation :
Burning Temple
Date :
Mid February, 2009
Location :
Udine, Italy
Type :
Escort.
Mission
EU: Escort the Leopard 2 tank to the target spot before the time expires.
NRF: Prevent the enemy tank from reaching the target spot until the time expires.
Background
While EU’s furious advance towards Eastern Europe was halted when Italy joined EU, an ex-neutral force, NRF prepared for their final counterstrike. In mid-February 2009, as NRF forces in the Ukraine started to advance, EU forces in Eastern Europe rapidly set up their defenses and engaged in fearsome battles, but it was just a decoy, and the NRF main force was already in southern Hungary advancing towards the Czech Republic. This main force was the true hero of the grand scheme, surrounding and destroying EU forces in Eastern Europe once and for all. When the operation started, the encircling NRF forces stayed on their advancing course and sent their special forces to southern Slovenia to capture Udine City in northern Italy in order to gain control of the air. There, there was an underground control station for an air defense radar system which could intercept every plane or other object flying over the Alps. EU forces in the south grasped the importance of the control station and immediately started a recapturing operation. They first sent special airborne unit 623 to northern Italy by air, and with the aid of Switzerland's Leopard 2A6 tanks. the NRF in Udine City went into a panic and instead of defending the control station, set up a time bomb in the facility. However, special airborne unit 623 already had received intelligence from an NRF prisoner, and had set their top priority on Udine City Hall where the underground control facility was located, and advanced in full force. On the other hand, the NRF in Udine City set up their line of defense around the church to fiercely fight off their enemies…

Operation :
Storm Blitz
Date :
Late August 2008
Location :
Hanover, Germany
Type :
Escort.
Mission Object :
Leopard 2.
Mission
EU : Escort the Leopard 2 to the target spot before the time expires.
NRF : Prevent the enemy tank from reaching the target spot until the time expires.
Background
The 217th Combined Armored Division and the 623rd Special Task Brigade, tasked to secure inner German areas and the advancing routes, plan to detour through Hanover, a strategic point and bottleneck, and push on to Hamburg.

However, the NRF forces in Hanover foresaw EU's plan and mounted a prototype weapon -- a high power microwave emitter system -- on top of DBC station inside the city. NRF's top priority weapon project, the microwave emitter system, can provide air and ground targeting for all guided weapons within a radius of 200km. Although not fully operational yet, with the help of the extra height and the more than sufficient power supply of the TV station, this weapon could stop the EU's advance. Informed of such a new weapon, the EU redesigned the plan of attack to quickly enter the streets of Hanover, locate the DBC site, and neutralize the microwave system.

EU intelligence believes that the majority of the Hanover garrison has mobilized for the battle of Zandvoort, and that the operation would meet light resistance. To avoid the risk of the landing in Hamburg totally failing, the 623rd Brigade's battle tanks start the assault on Hanover. However, the battle intensifies as EU meets a tenacious counter attack from NRF.

Operation :
Scorpion
Date :
Mid September, 2008.
Location :
Khor' Angar, Republic of Djibouti.
Type :
Escort.
Mission Object :
Leopard 2.
Mission
EU : Advance to the target spot before the time expires, escorting Leopard 2.
NRF : Check the advance of the enemy's tank to the target spot before the time expires.
Background
As war in Europe intensifies, its theatre of war also expands. Djibouti, a small country located around the Red Sea, the north of the Somali Peninsula in the eastern Africa. In the southern part of the nation is occupied by the national army consists of mainly the Issas, a minority race, is backed by EU while the rebels led by the Afars from the northern part of the nation is backed by Eritrea, a puppet government of NRF. The strategic goal of NRF is to control or contest Djibouti, the traffic central between Southwestern Asia and Eastern Africa. With this area secured, the petroleum supply for EU would be disrupted, hopefully to the point where the EU would seriously consider offering a ceasefire.

Meanwhile, the ever-worsening situation of the European theater of war pushes NRF to employ Blitzkrieg tactic. As a part of this plan, NRF deploys a sizable force in this area to quickly topple the pro-EU government with the help of rebel forces. The outgunned and outnumbered Djibouti government seriously considers surrendering in reaction.

Such development alarmed the EU leadership enough to take an immediate action. The 5th International Regiment and the 13th Mercenary Regiment, who were stationed in Djibouti, are ordered to strike the NRF headquarter in full force. Their target is supposedly located in the city of Khor'Angar in Obock province to the north. EU must penetrate the battle line and neutralize the main NRF force before the Djibouti government declares surrender.

Operation :
Rising Dust
Date :
October 10th, 2008.
Location :
Frankfurt, Germany
Type :
Escort Mission.
Mission Object :
Leopard 2 MBT
Mission
EU : Escort Leopard 2 to the target area.
NRF : Prevent the enemy tank from approaching the target area for a certain period of time.
Background
The EU launches an all-out assault on the city of Frankfurt, the last urban stronghold of the NRF in the country. Not wanting to inflict collateral damage to one of their major economic hubs and thus cripple its capacity, the EU forces decide to take advantage of the elements of speed and surprise that their armored brigade has. According to the plan of attack, an armored brigade is to quickly disable NRF movement by cutting off their main route and then divide and conquer the enemy. Making this plan even more attractive is the fact that the civilians have already been evacuated.

October 10th, 2008 The battle for Frankfurt starts with the advance of Leopard 2 MBTs from the 217th armored brigade. Their objective is to destroy elevated highways within the city, on which the NRF move around.
