[ToV - Tiger Ace] Retreat from Villers-Bocage - Mission 2

[GeoffS]

Retreat from Villers-Bocage

After successfully halting the British 7th Armoured Division "the Desert Rats," Voss orders his crew to abandon their disabled tank. The Tigergruppe must escape Villers-Bocage on foot and head back to Point 213.

I going to name 2 squad.

3 men : Voss squad
2 men : Crew squad

At the beginning. Order Voss pick up lmg first and get Crew squad garrison one of building. Once you clear. Move along left until you can call those arty. Move along right of the map and clear and clear and clear. Call arty to blow those emplacement on the right. Go to road block and clear the mission.

Make sure that none of your crew members is downed (the event in the beginning of the mission doesn't count) during this mission. If you manage to achieve this you will be rewarded with the fancy "Bengal" Tiger skin rather than the "Schulz" Tiger skin.

Never heard of this "Bengal" skin you talk about. I just did this mission without casualties and still got the 205 skin (the "Schultz" skin?).

[toiletguy]

Yeah. The black one?

[TankHunter678]

There are indeed 2 bonus skins you can get, I do not know the actual requirements to earn them, I myself got the Bengal Skin. The Schultz skin is the black one, and I think the default one you get for completing the Campaign, while the Bengal One requires all medals and some other hidden stuff to be achieved... I think.

Edit: Looking at how it is labeled "Tiger Ace: 1" it could be you had to get a certain kill count and the medal objective to get it.

Ah, I see. I have the one in the pic above, after playing through on easy with no casualties. Do I just play on harder diff or deliberately get casualties in order to get teh black skin?

Difficulty does not matter... other than it's easier to take casualties as the difficulty increases

[AntiCommie]

So if I want the Black Ace (From US Campaign), let one of my guys die?

If I want the Bengal (Tiger), I beat the mission without losses?

Where does the 205(from screenshot above) come from?

I wish you could pick the skin, since it doesnt change anything else.

[comrade_daelin]

the "205" is the Green Bengal skin if I'm not mistaken. That one is the first and only skin I've got.

[AntiCommie]

The 205 looks different then the orange bengal to me. Then there is the Black Ace from the US campaign, right?

The Bengal Tiger skin is the oe on the picture below. It sometimes pops up in the 3rd Tiger Ace mission (An Ace Reborn). I don't know "how" to get it, it is random I think.
