Captain Blazer's Scouts (mission)

**Captain Blazer's Scouts** is the ninth mission in *History Civil War: Secret Missions*.

## Walkthrough

"Several forms of deception were used by both sides of the war. One
commonplace strategy was to deceive the enemy into believing a major attack
was coming from one direction, only to then attack the real target with
overwhelming numbers and a tremendous show of firepower."

Mission Briefing - Captain Blazer's Scouts:

"We had a traitor in out midst. He stole some very sensitive documents from
the Corps commander and has fled to Pemberton our initial battle plan. Your
objective is to find these stolen documents and eliminate the traitor who
stole them."

The mission begins with your CO instructing you that the Army of Tennessee
is about to punch through Pemberton's defensive lines. You are tasked to
find the spy who stole sensitive Union documents and kill him.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Eliminate enemy at the docks.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Turn to the right and kill the three soldiers that are attacking. Shoot the
left one and throw a grenade at the other two to finish it quickly. The
objectives then update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Retrieve stolen documents.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

On the upward slope to the dock towards the red highlighted gate, there is
an ammunition box on the ground. Grab it then proceed forward and open
the gate.

Confederate soldiers will attack from the building on the right hand side
of this street. Defend yourself and advance into the yard and walk around
the building where more soldiers are attacking from.

Turn the corner to the right and then turn to the left. Run to the end of
this alley and jump over the partially destroyed wall. Walk to the end of
the building on the right and then turn to the right and go towards the
wall ahead of you. The first wounded soldier of the mission will be laying
between the wooden shack and the building in which you just ran around the
corner.

Exit this yard and enter the street. Run up the street to the right until
a large explosion erupts and the objectives update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Sabotage the telegraph station.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Turn the corner to the right when you reach the wooden shack at the
intersection and begin killing Confederate soldiers. During this time,
there should be a ledge on the white building to the right. A Rebel should
be standing there firing. There are also some barrels. Shoot them to
destroy the explosive barrels in this mission.

When most of the soldiers in the street have been killed, around three
soldiers will attack from the yard of the white building on the left side
of the street.

Once those soldiers are defeated, move down the street towards the red
building (Post Office) on the left side. Several more soldiers will attack
from behind the red building and from the building on the right.

Defeat these soldiers and jump over the barricade on the left side of the
post office for an ammunition box if needed. Look to the left of the ammo
box to find the second wounded soldier in the mission.

Run to the backside of the post office to find two red highlighted boxes.
These are the telegraph lines that need to be sabotaged. Run to them and
press the Y Button to complete the objective.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Retrieve stolen documents.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

One of the soldiers in your unit will kick open the gate behind you. Go
through the gate and immediately turn to the right and run to the door of
the Gunsmith to find the last wounded soldier in the mission.

Turn back and run to the barricade for some ammunition. Grab it if needed
and then run to the right side and man the gun there. Fire down the road
at the attacking Confederate soldiers.

Once no more Rebels appear down the road, jump over the barricade and run
down to the end. Make a left on the road and move towards the covered wagon.

Three enemies will be there, so toss a grenade to kill them and then your
comrade will kick open the gate in the courtyard.

Move through the gate and then make a left into the destroyed warehouse.
Several enemy soldiers will attack from all directions except from the
rear. Hold them off until they stop attacking and run out the hole in
the back right wall.

When you exit the warehouse, turn left and run down to the wall. When
you reach the wall, look on the ground to the right to find the hidden
picture in this mission.

Turn around and run back to the warehouse hole. Take the other path and
follow the trail between the buildings to an area with some barrels and
a wagon, Four Confederate soldiers will attack. Throw one grenade at the
front of the barrels to kill all four soldiers.

Move into the area and turn to the right. Jump over the barrels at the
barricade and run down the road, making a left at the end of the building.
Jump through the broken gate ahead and run forward to the cemetary.

To the left, the Confederate will be waiting. Several soldiers will advance
to take cover behind headstones. A Gatling Gun will also lay covering fire
over the headstones. Duck and advance through the cemetary. There will be
some ammunition by a headstone with a fence and tree around it near the
center of the graveyard.

Continue to advance towards the Gatling Gun taking out all Confederate
soldiers. To the left of the Gatling Gun will be an open gate. Pass
through it to complete the mission.

You should at least unlock the "Vicksburg" achievement for completing this
mission.
