Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers is the third mission in the Xylvanian Campaign.
Overview[]
Colonel Austin leads the Commander in a final strike against the Iron Legion. The player must take the fight to the foundation of the Iron Legion, the Cenotaph. Heavy Tanks and gunships are continual dangers against the battalion as it advances toward the Cenotaph. The player enters the crater and destroys the four obelisks. When the player enters the area, Iron Legion troops spawn to defend their stronghold. With the obelisks obliterated the shields are dropped on the Cenotaph and it can be destroyed.
