Introduction:

 

History Legends of War: Patton is a turn based strategy game that takes place during the second world war. Those of you that have played strategy games on the pc will most likely be familiar with how the game works but if you're one of those that haven't played anything similar, don't fret the learning curve is not a steep one and you'll be familiarized with the controls pretty quickly. Play the tutorial as it will teach you all you need to know on the basics of the game.

 

 

Walkthrough:

 

First of all play on the easiest difficulty setting as there are no difficulty related trophies. Remember only bring tanks, artillery and planes if you have enough fuel. Note: Only certain missions have fuel available for them. Try to use cover as much as possible rocks etc and plan your route so it lines up behind things. Your units units will die very fast, even on the easiest setting, if you’re exposed to e.g an enemy tank.

 

The only somewhat hard trophies in the game are the Heroic Leader and the Supreme commander trophies where you need to get 10 heroic victories and in operation 4 you can't let any of your units die/get destroyed respectively. Don't forget to heal your injured units after each mission. There's no need for a second playthrough if you play it smart and replay missions when you need to.

 

Always proceed with caution, never use the full amount of move points in one go unless you're absolutely certain there are no enemy units in the area. Move forward with breaks so you can avoid ending up in the line of fire of an enemy unit. Sniper and bazooka units are invaluable so invest in 4 of each as soon as possible. When you get the chance in operation 3 buy the Howitzer Artillery (it costs 30,000 Prestige), it's a life saver because it can take out several enemy soldier units in one shot.

 

As early as possible start working on getting heroic victories, forget about the stealth missions as they are very difficult to get a high rank on and you’ll only waste your time. The kill trophies will come naturally so don’t worry about that.

 

The campaign mode is divided into 4 operations with 5 missions in each. In operation 4 you can't let any of your units die so keep that in mind for the Supreme Commander trophy, take it nice and slow and don't forget to replay the mission if one of your units dies or gets destroyed. It will be a huge advantage if you already have gotten your 10 heroic victories out the way, so you don't need to worry about that at the same time. You can only replay the current mission, you can't go further back. This is because then you'll have to start a whole new campaign just for the Supreme Commander trophy so keep that in mind.

The only units in the game that are capable of knife kills are the commando units they cost 20,000 prestige each. When you have spare Prestige buy a couple to use on any stealth level, then simply highlight a German soldier unit with the cursor and press :cross: for the knife kill. Do this 15 times for the trophy. Note: Kills are cumulative so you don't need to get all 15 in one level.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1921/884.jpg Inspirational General (G)

Max out any of Patton's Skills (Campaign Mode)

 

There are a total of 6 skills in which you can delegate 10 points to each. You get skill points when you have completed a mission. The higher you rank in a mission, the more skill points you get with a maximum of 4 for getting the heroic victory rank. The skills are as follows:

  • Offensive Capabilities - The more points you put into this the more damage your units will do.
  • Defensive Capabilities - You will get more hit points with this skill, which will be very useful when attempting to get a heroic victory rank.
  • Tactical Capabilities - Put points into this to get more shots per turn. Note: when you have put 10 points into this skill all of your units get two shots per turn.
  • Logistics - If you need more ammo for your tank/artillery etc. then putting points into this skill is very useful.
  • Charisma - Increase this skill to get more prestige after having completed a mission.
  • Experience - If you want better starting units then this is the skill for you.

Note: Towards the end of the game you’ll practically be swimming in skill points so don't worry too much about these. The most useful skills I experienced to be were: Offensive capabilities, Defensive capabilities and Tactical capabilities. It’s highly advisable to put points into these first.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1921/7C5.jpg Full army! (G)

Complete the Third Army (Campaign Mode)

 

You need to have 24 units in total in your army for this trophy. If you want to get this trophy fast just buy regular army units for a total of 1,000 prestige each.

Kills are cumulative. Note: This will come naturally about midway through your campaign. Even when you replay a mission to get a heroic victory, they will all count towards the trophy. This is practically unmissable.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1921/0A4.jpg Heroic Leader (G)

Get 10 heroic victories (Campaign Mode)

 

Note: All 10 heroic victories must all be done in one playthrough.

 

The factors that play a role in achieving a heroic victory rank are as follows:

 

- The number of shots you have used to take down enemy units. (you’re only allowed a couple of misses)

- How many enemy units you've destroyed.

- Number of wounded units. Note: You'll not get a heroic victory if so much as one unit dies in the mission.

- Lastly, how many turns you’ve used to complete the mission.

 

You'll most likely have to replay some missions for this just don't go further back than one mission because you'll lose your campaign progress otherwise.

 

Here is a breakdown of what your numbers should be in each mission for a heroic victory:

Complete fourth operation without casualties (Campaign Mode)

 

If you ever lose a unit just replay the mission. Note: If you continue on to the next mission with a casualty, you'll have to replay the entire campaign. None of the mission are overly tough and if you've put maximum points into Defensive capabilities (Hit points) you shouldn't have too much trouble while attempting this trophy. Note: You can always bring a medic to heal your units if you're having trouble on a mission, they cost 7,500 Prestige. Don't ever forget to heal your units after a mission, under the "Third Army menu" press :triangle: on injured units to heal them.

 

The missions in operation 4 are as follows:

 

Mission 17: Attack: In this mission you need to place some beacons in order for other units to receive supplies.

Mission 18: Defense: In this mission you need to defend against attacking enemy units for 14 turns or eliminate all before then.

Mission 19: Attack: For this mission you need to travel across the map picking up various supplies.

Mission 20: Retreat: In this mission you need to retreat from enemy forces whilst keeping at least one unit alive.

Mission 21: Attack: In this mission you need to travel across the map to reach an extraction point.

 

Complete these 5 missions without any casualties and the trophy will be yours.

About the "Assassin!" trophy. Does the knife attack of the French Resistance (prestige cost: 15000) also count?

 

I haven't tried it so I couldn't tell you sorry. I had no idea they had knives never used them, I prefered to go with the better units. Try and see what happens? I only tried with the comandos but if you find out the french unit works i'll happily update the guide :).

I don't want to get nit-picky about another person's guide (I sometimes get irritated when people pick apart my guides), but I really think there's one detail that must be included here (either in the guide, or linked within the guide):

 

Specific criteria for Heroic Victories

 

I know that you've mentioned some of the factors, but that really doesn't narrow down the necessary margins for victory. For example - I finished the first level in 6 turns, 11 kills (the level requires you to get all 11 kills), 11/11 hits/shots, one shot fired by enemy (missed), no damage, and all with only three soldiers. Got Major Victory, but no Heroic Victory.

 

What. The. F***.

 

Of all the elements written for the guide, this is the elusive Holy Grail that all trophy seekers really need. And it is not here (yet). Again, I don't mean to badger another writer, as you've donated your time and efforts, but you've missed the primary target of this guide.

No offense taken but I don't agree with you, the guide is fine as it is. Thanks for taking the time to utter your criticism.

This is how I got a heroic victory on mission 18 (The Bastards of Bastogne) (hold position for 14 turns):

I deployed the maximum of 8 units: 3 snipers, 1 commando, 1 engineer, 1 tank destroyer and 2 tanks. I destroyed all the waves in 7 moves, 1 tank was lightly damaged (322/360) and the commando had minor injuries (76/78). Shot accuracy was 34/40 (I had to defend a sniper with the machine gun of a tank). Enemy's H/S was 3/4 (they attacked with 19 soldiers and 4 armored cars).

 

If I get another heroic win (and I need them), I'll write it down here...

Edit: Hey by the way why did you delete me off psn, did I do or say something that offended you?

 

OK, let's not escalate this. This is a legitimate constructive criticism - don't take it as a personal attack, getting defensively bothered that somebody dared to "utter a criticism". Know that this is not directed at you - rather, it's directed at the game for not delineating what defines a Heroic Victory. "The guide is fine as it is"? Not for a single level does the guide even give an example of what specific statistical numbers define a Heroic Victory (like Alienstorms pervious post). Like I said in my previous post, I did exceptionally well on the first level for turns taken, shots fired/shots hit ratio, and enemies killed (all of them), and yet, no Heroic Victory. The guide even states that the writer simply passed on trying for Heroic Victory on stealth levels, as the writer didn't it worth bothering with to investigate what constitutes a Heroic Victory.

 

The way the guide is written, it's essentially telling the reader that the trophy will simply come. It doesn't even give recommendations regarding which levels to try it on (some are probably easier than others) aside from telling the reader to avoid trying stealth levels.

 

You are, of course, under no obligation to change your guide. I'm just saying, it really isn't very clear - the reader is expected to do most of the legwork in figuring it out (not the trademark of a helpful guide). I know that it isn't a requirement for every guide to explain every minute detail of every single trophy in a game, but this is a pretty glaring hole.

 

And please don't publicly call people out on why they dropped you from their Friend's List - nobody has to justify that decision to anybody, much less publicly.

Being a little bit further in the game, I'm definitely feeling I should back you up on one point:

 

Don't go for Heroic Victories on the Stealth Levels!

 

Lordy, lordy, it is a nightmare.

 

I think what would help (and anybody may feel free to contribute to this) is if we just had a thread where you write the following:

 

Level XX Heroic Victory:

1) Which troops/units you used

2) How many turns you took

3) Hits/Shots ratio

4) Health used

5) Enemies killed

 

Example (got this finally):

 

Level 1 Heroic Victory:

1) 3 Basic Soldiers

2) 5 Turns (need to use grenades to get this in 5)

3) 11/11

4) No Health Used

5) 11 enemies killed

 

This shouldn't be something that JAK-KRIEG has to do, but rather something we all contribute to, and is possibly linked in the guide (or not).

I don't have time to replay the game but i'd be happy to include info like that in the guide :).

 

I accidentially deleted my last post anyway dude certainly didn't mean to call you out :).

Going to have to openly apologize for my call for the Heroic Victory information. Earlier, I said that the guide implied that the HVs would just come naturally. Now that I'm 3/4 of the way through the game, I can safely say... they will.

 

As the guide states, ignore trying to get Heroic Victories on Stealth Levels (2, 8, etc.) Also, I couldn't get Level 10 in at Heroic Victory). And as I've stated, Level 1 is really tough to get a Heroic Victory (but very doable; just need to end it in five turns). However, on all other levels, I found that HVs just come naturally. Where you can afford it, you'll want:

 

3-4 Snipers

3-4 Bazookas

 

Pressing quickly and aggressively through combat levels (and never letting anybody die), you'll find that you score a Heroic Victory pretty much every time. You will want high Tactical skill to give your men two shots per turn. Under these parameters, you just play enough to learn in which direction the pockets of enemy soldiers lie. Most levels are one of the following: (1) Kill Everyone, (2) Survive for XX Rounds (in which case, you'll still just want to kill everyone to end it faster), or (3) Transport Ally to Green Target. In each case, use your men to branch out in pairs and quickly eliminate all enemies.

 

Again, I want to apologize for demanding more information on Heroic Victories. With the exception of Levels 2, 8, 10, 12 & 15, it really isn't very hard (assuming you're playing on Easy Mode), meaning that you can reasonably get your 10 HVs by the end of Level 14, making it no concern during the Fourth Campaign Operation.

It won't harm sharing our experiences.

 

Here is how I got the heroic victory in level 19.

 

Troops selected: 3 snipers, 3 bazookas, a commando and a ranger. Divide your troops so you can in advance in 2 (or even 3) directions. Use the commando/ranger to secure the drops in the corners and then it's possible to complete it in 11 turns. I had an accuracy of 33/34, the enemy didn't fire a single shot! I destroyed 24 enemy units.

If we get info on all the missions i'll happily include it in the guide.
