Successfully escort the Pole Charge Engineer to the Pillbox in Hill 493 - 10

This is done in Mission 8: Hill 493

When advantaging up Hill 493 towards the MG Pillbox, there will be a Pole Charge Engineer tasked with destroying the Pillbox. You need to make sure that he makes it to the Pillbox to complete his mission. When the group is at the bottom of the hill, tell the Engineer to move, causing the whole group to move.

Then lay down fire towards the Pillbox until the command "MG has ceased fire" has been called, then command the Engineer to move to the next covering location. Then lay down fire on the MG for the second time, waiting for the previous command again, then moving the Engineer to the next location. Now there will be a small amount of Soldier begin to charge down the hill, take care of them, and throw down a couple Smoke Grenades to block the sight of the MG, causing them to stop shooting; moving the Engineer to last location. Now lay down fire onto the MG for the final time, and command the Engineer to lay down the Pole Charge and blow up the Pillbox. He shall do so and destroy the Pillbox.

A Pole Charge, also called a M1A1 Bangalore Torpedo, was first used by the US Army in World War II, during the Battle of Bardia. They were primary used by USACE (United States Army Corp of Engineers).
