Battle of Shiloh

**Shiloh** is the second mission in the Confederate side of the game *The History Channel: Civil War – A Nation Divided.*

## Walkthrough

You begin on a beach in the middle of the night. Your commanding officer
informs you that you need to sneak into the middle of the Union camp and
steal some documents from the General's tent. Then, sabotage their
survey balloon and blow up their ammo depot on the way out. All of this
while staying in the shadows and slitting throats while you do.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Steal the strategic documents.

Now, not once have I ever not been detected. So, that's how Shiloh is
going to be written by me. To the best of my abilities of not being
discovered, but constantly being found.

Proceed along the beach in the shadows toward the tower. Stop at the
wagon and move behind the tree. Keep an eye on the tower guard and
when he starts looking around, make a run for the over turned wagon to
the left.

Crouch again and follow the soldier on the opposite side of the
barricade when he begins to walk towards the tents. This is where I
often get discovered. Knife him and then kill everyone around with
the revolver.

Move to the left of the camp, right by the barricade from before.
Crouch down and sneak through the tents there. If you go to the right,
you will be seen due to the light from the camp fires and that will
spawn some soldiers into the area you just cleared behind you.

You need to make your way to the next grouping of tents. I have never
successfully made it past the wagon without being shot at by the soldiers
there. Either way, stay along the fence behind the tents. Your target
is the wooden hut. Get in there and press the A Button while looking
at the papers.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Sabotage the balloon.

Head down the path along the river bank until the end. Crouch and wait
for two soldiers to walk down the small path on the left. You should
be able to knife them or shoot them from the river bank itself.

Head up the dirt path and stay to the left. There is a camp fire with
at least three soldiers here. You are able to use any weapon and kill
them with a clean shot to the head and not alert the others right there.
You can use the pistol, aim, and then fire one round at their head.
They will drop dead and the other soldiers there will remain standing.
You can also pick off two soldiers at another fire near the balloon and
a soldier between some tents to the right of the first fire. That will
make this area a small portion easier on the harder difficulties.

Move to the right along the wooden fence and move along the backside of
the tents. Move to the cannons and you are then able to kill the last
soldier by the fire that is near the balloon. There is also a soldier
a little past the cannons between some tents. Round the cannons and you
should see him to dispatch the same way as the rest.

Go past the fire and up to the balloon. Look at the rope and press the
A Button to cut it loose.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Destroy the depot with the explosive charges.

When you cut the rope, run behind the wagon on the left side of the area
where the balloon was. The tower that is near the fire, there will be
two soldiers that will spawn once the rope is cut. Hiding behind the
wagon allows you to shoot them in the head and remain undetected.

Approach the tower from the left along the woods to stay out of the
light. There is ammo at the tower base and a med-kit between the
cannons to the right of the tower. Get them if needed.

Round the corner and there will be one soldier in sight in front of the
wagon. Take care of him and approach the camp. As you near, two
soldiers will come around the wagon near the camp fire on the left.
Take them out or attempt to ignore them, but stay to the right side of
the camp in the shadows.

There will be at least five soldiers in total near the back cluster of
tents. Kill them all and cross the road to the small grouping of tents
where the road bends towards the ammo depot. Move behind the tents to
find this missions hidden picture.

Turn around and head up the road to the tower and ammo depot.

There are at least four soldiers here. Two can be taken out from
the area you claimed the hidden picture from. The other two will be
behind the wagon that is placed to the left of the depot. Once they
are dead, move to the red transparent barrel and press the A Button.

Run between the two wood huts towards the church. Continue running to
the barricades where some of your fellow soldiers run out of the woods
and begin an assault up the hill against some Union soldiers who are
advancing down the hill. Find cover and dispatch these soldiers.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Proceed forward to the docks.

When the soldiers on the hill are dead, continue up. Three soldiers
will jump out from behind the wooden wall in front of you. Kill them
the proceed through the opening to the hut. Another soldier will jump
out of the hut and another two will appear behind you. Kill them and
move forward to the next two walls. After you pass the first wall and
are approaching the second, four soldiers jump out at you. Kill them
and then continue pass the wall.

Two soldiers will run down the hill towards you and another two are
fighting a fellow Southerner at the top of the hill. Again, kill them
all.

Continue down the path and the screen will fade to black.

This marks the successful completion of Shiloh.
