Friedrich line

The Friedrich line is the first mission in the Iron Storm single-player campaign.

Synopsis[]

Players take the role of Lieutenant James Anderson, a 40 year old American special forces soldier who is given orders to infiltrate the Russo-Mongolian lines and destroy a secret weapons research facility, in the town of Wolfenburg, where the Empire is developing their first nuclear weapon.

Areas[]

USWE base[]

You start off in an USWE base in the Friedrich line of Western Germany. After meeting with Colonel Mitchell and Cecile Newcastle, you are sent to collect your Dragunov Snayperskaya and have a choice to pick a side firearm; a Heckler & Koch MP-6 or Remington M910.

There are two areas in the rear lines to visit. You start in the second line of fortifications, in the command center. Down the concrete trenches you can visit the dormitory and another DRT in them, as well as the kitchen where meals are prepared for the cannon fodder about to be sent into the fight.

You can also head back into the third line, where the armory is located and you can pick up a shotgun and machine pistol and practice shooting. This is also where you get introduced to the destructible boxes containing ammunition is located. Other points of interest include the infirmary, where nurses are trying to save the wounded, a corpse wagon outside filled to the brim with dead soldiers, and kennels.

The First Line[]

The other direction leads to the frontlines. You'll be waved through by a soldier and enter the grinder in the middle of a counterattack by Russo-Mongolian forces. Your goal here is to fight alongside fellow Stormtroopers and beat off the attack. Russo-Mongolian forces are composed of basic Sturmpionners supported by some Sniperkorps members.

The first area contains a ruined house in the center that has to be cleared before Stormtroopers can advance, and is covered by two snipers you're asked to take out. Afterwards, you enter the frontlines, just as the USWE forces stationed there begin a general retreat.

The Church[]

After meeting a small demolition team, they tell Lieutenant Anderson that he wont be able to turn back - as they are about to blow the tunnel. Afterwards, Newcastle informs that the only way to infiltrate enemy lines, is under the church. To get there, James must fight through the trenches and out into no man's land, which is guarded by an enemy bunker, machine gunners and snipers. Once they are eliminated, the player can go to the entrance of the church and under the boards to enter the Anton Denikin line.

Trivia[]

After you go to the dead end in the flooded trench area, return to assist your allies in attacking three enemy units. These units distinguish from the rest of the Russo-Mongolian troops by wearing olive facepaint, they are most likely airborne troops.
The sky turns from dawn, to snowy after going through the tunnels.
