Walk-through
1. You begin this mission in a pass in the southwest corner of the map. To the northwest is a closed passageway with a ready-made Satchel Charge trap set. To the West is a pathway with another Satchel Charge ambush ready to blow. Be aware that Dwarf grenades that hit the snow will likely go out and not explode, but they will go up sympathetically if other explosives go off nearby. MAP

Handle large packs of Thrall with your two Dwarves. Don't waste the Satchel Charge Traps on these weak units…save them for the piggy Mauls.
2. Pull all of your troops - except your Dwarves - into the closed pass to the northwest. Set them in a guarding formation - Bowmen in a Long Line and Berserks in a Deep Encirclement behind them - to fire on anyone who comes through the pass. MAP

3. Throughout this mission, you will need to wipe out massive numbers of opposing forces. You will have some traps to aid you (Satchel Charges spread on the ground), but you should save these for the packs of relatively speedy Mauls. Don't waste them on the plodding Thrall. MAP

4. Prepare your Dwarves to attack the first two waves of Thrall. You should be able to bomb them all as they approach without having to retreat beyond the Satchel Charge trap to the northwest. If you can't do this, pull your Dwarves back behind your Berserks and let your other troops finish them off. MAP

5. Once you dispose of the Thrall, a pack of Mauls will approach. Back up your Dwarves behind the Satchel Charge Trap to the northwest (joining your other troops) and prepare to set off the charges as the pig boys approach. Any survivors can be quickly mopped up by your Berserks. MAP

6. Immediately go to the second ambush point, west of where you started. Place your Bowmen on the high hill bordering the pass and place your Berserks deep behind the Satchel Charge Trap. You must do this quickly, or your troops will get caught in the middle. MAP
