**Saving Private Rind** is the eleventh mission of Hogs of War. It is located in area in northern Trotsville. It is the first mission on this island.

## Terrain

The terrain is grassy and is focused around a big mountain, on which one of player's pigs is captured in a shelter surrounded by minefield and walls. There is also a valley underneath the mountain where three player's pigs land. Inside the valley, there is a big minefield that is useful to throw enemies into for their instant explosion. Enemies can also be easily thrown and killed into a minefield that surrounds the shelter. If they don't die, they are paralysed and keep shooting into metal walls (if they have used their poison gases already), because they do not recognise them. Minefields are coloured light green, which is untypical, because they are often dark brown. A brown path connecting lower area to the mountain is visible through hilly terrain of this mission.

## Vehicles

There is only one vehicle in this mission, and it is the shelter ocupied by highest ranked player's pig, often a commando at this point that can use jetpack to escape it.

## Pick-ups

There are totally four pick-ups in this level, however only two of them are there on the start. One of them is 1x Homing Missile located at small flat point surrounded by rocky slopes - player's pig can get easily to it from the mountain, but has to repeat climbing up because there is no way back. There is also 1x Airstrike located on a very high pillar in the lower area - it can be obtainable only by commando that manages to escape the shelter and land exactly at small wooden platform on top of the pillar, which is very difficult to do. After killing enemy bombardier, 3x Homing Missile falls into the minefield. If you manage to blow up the door blocking escape from shelter, 2x jetpacks land behind the shelter.

There are also three 20-UP crates in this level - two of them in small reefs inside the low area and one on a flat area on the slopes connected with lower area.

## Promotion Points

There is one PP available right in the mission, but espionage or elite pigs are required to get it, as it is located right inside the minefield. You need to find a path that connects you both with a homing missile pick-up and promotion point. There are two ends of the path, each on one side of minefield.

## Enemies

There are four snipers hiding on platforms surrounding the captured pig in shelter. There is also one bombardier in the lower area.

In the hard mode, there are four spies and one pyrotechnic.

## Trivia

* Name of this mission is inspired by the 1998 movie Saving Private Ryan. It is a reference to mission's objective, that is to save the pig that has been kidnapped by the enemy.
* Saving Private Rind is really good if you want to make enemies explode instantly. With Super Shotgun or TNT, you can shoot them into both minefields and gunner can be easily shot out of the map.
