FM 1 – First, you’ll need to capture all three points in the village, then make your way up the hill and over the road until you hit a barrier made of overturned logs. This manual will be near a hole in the wall’s exit, near some empty shells and wreckage.

FM 2 – Once you reach the town being bombarded by enemy artillery, head up to the church and makeshift hospital. This manual will be in a crate near a line of pots.

FM 4 – This manual is found at Point D, the farm that has trenches dug out around it. Just look for the crate near the building on the right side.

FM 5 – Head up the road from the allied outpost until it hits a hill with a bunch of abandoned vehicles. Once you spot the ones with Anti-tank guns strapped on the back, look near the ground for the manual.

Fog of War

FM 6 – Near the beginning of this mission, you’ll have to fight your way through a series of gun emplacements. Once you near the forest area with a split in the road, head up the right side and you’ll find the crate at the top of the hill.
