"It’s seemingly serene, this lush French village and its pictorial houses, kissed by the sun and hugged by wall-climbing vegetation. But the scars of Arras run deep – and yet another World War is about to rattle the serenity."

Official Blog

Arras is a map featured in Battlefield V. It was first seen in the Gamescom trailer.

It takes place during the Battle of Arras on May 21, 1940. With the Germans already having reached the English Channel on May 19, a Franco-British counterattack spearheaded by armored units was made against the southern flank of the German front, with the intention of halting or otherwise stalling them from completing the encirclement from the southwest. Although initially promising the attack was repulsed within 24 hours. This and other failed counteroffensives ultimately left the majority of the British Expeditionary Force, along with the French First Army, trapped in a pocket centered around the seaside town of Dunkirk.


Arras 01

In the light of a fine morning in late spring stands the quaint farming community of Arras. The rural village, located centrally on the map, consists of nearly two dozen buildings packed closely together along cobblestone streets, overlooked by a grand stone church. Around the map's periphery, and stretching out of bounds across the horizon, are a series of neatly parcelled canola fields - their vibrant yellow flowers standing waist high, giving the map a striking palette while also offering substantial visual cover for infantry. The fields are separated by modest hedgerows or islands of forestry, as well as rural roads and pathways that circle the village exterior, connecting farmhouses and agricultural outbuildings standing otherwise isolated from the central block. The terrain is undulating, with the village standing on a slight hill, with the surrounding open fields rising and dipping at random. Ditches line the dirt road sides, and in the south a shallow river cuts across the map's waist. Trenches can be found scattered around the map, presumably from the multiple battles that took place in the same area during the First World War.

Despite its visual splendour, Arras has already been scarred by war with shell craters, tank wrecks and scorched fields around the eastern edge. Set against a backdrop of German tanks roaming the adjacent hills en masse, Arras may well arrive at the same fate as nearby towns, uniformly devoured by smoke, as the entire village area can be effectively levelled in the course of a game.

In aesthetics and layout, Arras intends to evoke Soissons from Battlefield 1, or Harvest Day from Battlefield: Bad Company.[1]

Battlefield V Arras Conquest Layout

In Conquest, Arras is divided into six flags, arranged into three groups of two, forming three lanes across the width of the battlefield. The peripherally located A, B, C, D and F flags stand around the centrally located Village flag of E. Around these former objectives, combat can occur at a variety of ranges - long sight lines across the open canola fields, which are generally free of obstacles and supported by an unrestricted road network, encourage vehicular combat and sniping, although steep elevation changes, thickets of vegetation and isolated structures can force engagements at closer ranges. Even when inside the Village, combat is generally at close quarters but the high ground surrounding the church and its belltower extend this somewhat. The constricted nature of the town does generally deter vehicles, however aircraft have free range over the map.

The map offers significant opportunities for building Fortifications. In the outer fields, this ranges from simple foxholes and dirt fighting positions to extensive trench networks between and through objectives, and even includes anti-tank gun positions in non-obvious areas. In the village, the theme continues in the form of barricades, which can block off routes to both infantry and vehicles, as well as rebuild cover after the houses have been destroyed.

Each side starts with 700 tickets.

Rather than being behind each team's spawns, the map's aircraft resupply airhooks are at the map sides, to the east of Tank Wrecks and the west of Hill Farm, respectively.

The mode supports one tank and two gun carrier call-ins of the Squad Reinforcement system.[2]

German Deployment

Both teams have only a single spawn point. The Germans deploy from a fork in the road in the Far South, with the left bearing taking them to the nearest capture point of Bridge, the other curving northeast towards Tank Wrecks. The base has a static Flak 38 to defend against aircraft.

British Deployment

Opposing them are the British, who deploy from a similarly arranged three-point junction in the Far North - their roads take them west, south and east towards Hill Farm, the Village, and Field, respectively. The unobstructed, large open field north of the Village known as Northern Field gives light vehicles quick access to the easternmost objectives. The British HQ has a Flak gun of its own, set up along the main road south.

A: Water Mill

Water Mill is found in the map's southwest corner, and consists of a farming compound next to a shallow river, forded by a narrow arched bridge. A single large structure houses the eponymous mill and overlooks the open, muddy yard from the south. The flag is found in the middle of the yard, which is mostly devoid of cover save for a truck and trailer, as well as a perimeter wall of dry stone, although the position can be reinforced with fortifications, consisting of a high sandbag wall reinforced with tank blockers, and Czech hedgehogs at the bridge end. To the north is the Slope and West Field - situated on high ground, defenders of a flag in traction will spawn here in relative cover, and may flank the flag along western edge where a dirt ridge and hedgerow provides defilade. Directly northeast is a trail uphill into the Village, across the Small Fields.

Ammo and Health Caches can be built in the yard north of the Water Mill building, along with a Vehicle Repair Station. Additionally, a light vehicle spawns here when the flag is taken. A full anti-tank emplacement, with sandbags, tank traps and overhead netting can be built on the Slope, overlooking the bridge and flag capture radius from the West Field heights.

B: Bridge

Another Bridge over the stream is found east of Water Mill, and is the closest capture point to the German HQ. Consisting of little more than a narrow stone arched bridge and an accompanying house, the area is fairly sparse. A high stone wall on the edge of a sharp incline blocks line of sight from the north into the house's adjacent yard area, as well as to the west. Players can hide in the riverbank and capture the flag in defilade from the southern roadway, and the bridge itself can be destroyed to hinder enemy movement.

Only a Health Supply Station can be constructed here, in the yard along the house's outer wall. The road west can be blocked with sandbags and tank traps, as can the bridge itself so long as it remains standing. If destroyed, an engineer bridge can be built in its place.

C: Tank Wrecks

The aftermath of a significant armored clash in found in the open fields along the map's east side, where dozens of smouldering tank hulks litter the heavily cratered farmland. Although the wrecks and numerous they are somewhat spread out, and concentrated around the field's eastern edge - as they provide the majority of cover, players on foot will have to move tactically in order to reach the capture zone. Patches of burning crops reduce available cover and present a potential environmental hazard. Furthermore, the flag's location at the map center is at a lower elevation than the surrounding perimeter, granting superior fighting positions on the edges of the radius. The area is bordered to the west by a raised roadway known as Artillery, separating the adjacent Burning Field. On the north and east side, a long ditch runs the length of the field, obscured on both sides by hedges, allowing infantry to bypass the more exposed area. This ditch and the Main Road East partitions the Tank Wrecks field from the so-called Eastern Field, the site of objective F, to the north.

The flag spawns a halftrack and Kettenkrad once captured. Ammo and Health Stations can be built amongst the wrecks next to the flag itself, while a Vehicle Repair Station can be constructed on the Artillery road overlooking the flag to the east. In the capture zone, fortifications are limited to low dirt barricades and limited trench and sandbag complexes. The edges of the field can be more extensively developed.

D: Hill Farm

Located directly outside the British spawn in the northwest corner, Hill Farm is another isolated farming homestead, consisting of a house on the north side, and a barn and a grain silo on the south side. It is the nearest flag to the British deployment. The position sits atop a slight hillock that descends to the north and south, the latter of which giving way to open fields cuts across by shallow ditches which provide a covered route partway to Village or Water Mill. Inside the capture zone itself, a narrow yard separates the barn and house structures, which are the main sources of cover in the area.

A health station can be constructed on the bottom floor of the barn building. The eastern approach into the objective can be heavily fortified with two defensive lines, each containing sandbags, barbed wire and tank traps. Similar fortifications can be erected on the south side, where dirt barricades and two Vickers guns can be set up to cover the low ground of the West Field.

E: Village Center

The centerpiece of the map, the Village, consists of a dozen single and multistorey houses arranged along two roads, Main Road and Main Road West, which intersect at the Village Center. Structures are overgrown with vines and packed tightly together amongst varying elevations of partitioned gardens, resulting in close-quarters fighting. The Village can be split into four main areas - West, South, Church and Center. The West side consists of more open compounds with farming style structures, and includes the Ruins on the southwest side as well as the Cafe southeast of the church. The south side follows the Main Road north from Bridge - once past the larger outbuildings of Bridge Hill, the walled compounds become smaller and houses more closely packed together, characteristic of the Gardens and Wine Store landmarks, which are separated from the Village Center by the Back Street.

The Village Center is the location of the flag itself, the relatively small capture area covering only a small portion of the northeast side of the settlement. It includes an open cobblestone Plaza, found opposite the Main Road junctions and the across from the Church, as well as a small gated garden and associated buildings further west.

Although outside the capture radius, the high ground of the Church can be used to control the Village and its surroundings, as players can fight from the interior as well as the belltower, the tallest point on the map - this can in turn be toppled by shellfire.

Ammo and Health stations can be built in the Back Street, south of the flag's zone of control. The area can be heavily fortified - the main streets and alleys blocked with barbed wire and tank traps. To bypass these blockages, new infantry routes through buildings created by knocking down the ubiquitous, high garden walls that surround each pocket or compound, as well as the dividing walls of buildings. In turn, destroyed walls can be replaced with sandbag redoubts, allowing a devastated village area to be rebuilt again. The Church exterior can also be heavily fortified with cover positions, as well as obstacles blocking the stairs access to the high ground position. An AT gun can be built on the edge of the Burning Field on the eastern outskirts of town.

F: East Field

The northeast side of the map is comprised of largely featureless field of canola blooms. The flag itself is in the middle of this field, which is bordered to the west by a walled compound containing three buildings, the Vineyard - the field itself is directly overlooked by the largest of the three, a two-storey barn structure, on the west side. Directly across the width of the field on the east side, a rocky outcrop of trees known as the Eastern Hill offers the second-most significant covered area in the vicinity. The field can be transformed via Fortifications with a series of three trench lines cut through the capture zone, allowing infantry to capture the flag from relatively safe, if obvious, positions. If the trenches are unfinished, lying prone in the field can prevent infantry players from being discovered while capturing.

The flag spawns a halftrack and a light vehicle upon capture. An ammo station can be built inside the Vineyard's barn west of the flag, and health can be retrieved from a similarly constructed station near the Eastern Hill. A Vehicle Repair Station is found on outside the southwest corner of the field, but must be built first before it can be used.

Grand Operations

Arras is the second map in the Battle for France Grand Operation, following Twisted Steel, as well as the Battle of Hannut Grand Operation added with Lightning Strikes during which it comes after Panzerstorm. In Battle for France, day three uses a unique version of the Frontlines game type while in Battle of Hannut it is Rush Large. For both operations, day four uses the same layout for Final Stand.


In the Battle for France, the third day of Operations uses the Frontlines game type. Teams compete to capture a single central objective, the losing side being pushed into a defensive battle around their three base objectives.

This time, each team has access to two planes and two Kettenkrads, with an additional one tank and two gun-carrying halftracks available as Squad Reinforcements. Each deployment also contains an AA gun - these are located at the end of the East Road for the Germans, and west of West Fields for the British.

German Headquarters

If the Germans are pushed back from the central capture point, their base objectives become vulnerable to British demolitions, while their deployment point relocated further down the East Road. Of their three objectives, the northernmost one is in the middle of the farming compound of Vineyard, parallel with the Eastern Fields. B is the closest to the village, located on the far side of the Groves - this objective is surrounded by a pre-built trenchline off from the main road. Objective C is in the northeastern corner of the Tank Wrecks field, and has the longest and most open approach for attackers.

A: Village

The single control point falls within the Village in the map center, with the capture zone, being a rough right-angle triangle, covering much of the urban block south and west of the main road intersection. The flag can be seized as far south as the riverbank and Bridge Hill, and as far west as the large barn. The Church is not part of the capture zone.

Some thirteen structures are included in the area in addition to large sections of dividing wall - the terrain characterises the battle as close-quarters street fighting. With explosives and air support, much of the village can be reduced to rubble, opening up sightlines considerably in the process. Heavy Machine Gun emplacements are set up at either end of the Main Road to lock down the most direct route through the flag, with further emplacements scattered throughout the town. Neutral AA guns can be found on the extreme north and south limits of the sector.

Using their forward spawns, the Germans deploy from the Vineyard, and the British from West Fields.

British Headquarters

If the British fail to control the village, they are routed westwards to the fields past Hill Farm, and their three base objectives become open to attack. Effectively the reverse of the German headquarters sector, the sites are arranged south to north alphabetically. Objective A is by the Water Mill to the south. It is the most isolated from both attackers and defenders in terms of distance. Objective B is in the center of the Western Fields, dug in around a horseshoe trench. Objective C is in the courtyard of Hill Farm.

Rush Large

In the Battle of Hannut, day three uses 64 player Rush as its ruleset. There are four stages for eight destructible objectives in total, arranged similarly to the Breakthrough gametype.

Sector 1

In the first sector, the German attackers deploy from behind the hedgerows in the map's Far East, assaulting directly eastwards across open terrain or using the flanks around Main Road - East and the riverbed. Objective A is the nearest, located on the southern edge of Tank Wrecks, where the artillery gun has been emplaced around a ring of trenches. Objective B is further back, protected by a belt of fortifications along the berm dividing Tank Wrecks from the adjacent Burning Field. The objective itself is within the northeastern corner of the field.

The Germans come armed with mechanized support to carry the infantry across the open ground, in the form of two tanks, two halftracks, a Kubelwagen and a towable Pak 40. The British field a tank and M3 halftrack of their own, in addition to significant static defenses - two 6-Pounders and a Vickers gun cover the eastward approach up to Burning Field, with another HMG set up at a roadblock near the Grapevines intersection.

Sector 2

The next phase falls within the south end of the Village, with objectives located on opposite banks of the barren riverbed. South of the two is objective A, located in the walled garden area behind the lone house on the Bridge Conquest flag. Approach to this flag from the river is covered by an HMG. North up the main road is objective B, which is inside the barn on the south edge of the Village proper. The large wall the runs parallel to the main road acts as defensive line, with an AT gun, stationary MG, and firing steps allowing defenders to shoot over the top.

Sector 3

The attackers swing northwards, seeking to clear the Village completely. Objective A is on the western edge of the settlement, in the farming compound comprised of a barn and two other smaller structures. Defenders can reach this flag by skirting the edges of the Village to the south or north. Objective B is in the Church grounds, specifically in the southwest corner of the graveyard.

Sector 4

The final phase takes place at Hill Farm near the British Conquest deployment. Objective A is in the barn on the southern edge of the area, and objective B is on the north side in a small depression astride the Western Road known as Outside Farm.

Final Stand

Should the battle reach a stalemate, a fourth day of fighting occurs during which each team makes their Final Stand. Fires from the surrounding fields fill the air with smoke, giving the map a hazy, overcast atmosphere.


The German team deploys along a line south of the river, ahead of their Conquest deployment. While the main concentration is roughly parallel with the Bridge objective area, some team members can spawn as far east as the south edge of Tank Wrecks, along the map's outer boundary.

The British team spawns on the northwest side amongst the West Fields, south of Hill Farm, near the map edge. This allows them to reach the Village slightly faster than the Germans.


Artillery firing in a box barrage drives both teams towards the Village at the map center. The British may have an early advantage as their spawn allows them to more easily occupy the high ground near the church. However, the zone shrinks quite quickly and may not focus on the church at all, instead confining battle to the central housing block or the Wine Store off the main road, for example. The environment generally favours close quarters weapons, with an added emphasis on cover destruction.

There are no buildable caches in Final Stand, requiring all ammunition and medical resupply duties to be carried out by teammates.


If the British defenders manage to ultimately win the Battle for France, their victory is considered symbolic at best - their commanders acknowledge that their position on the continent is untenable, and the evacuation from Europe continues as planned. The Germans, having completed their Conquest of Belgium, Holland and Norway, are left effectively unopposed as the masters of Europe, with the casualties of a botched operation serving only to tarnish an otherwise astonishing, decisive victory over France.


In Breakthrough, a Germans launch a four-stage assault on the town of Arras. The fight begins on the more open outskirts where the attackers' vehicles can strongly influence the battle, before the close on the town itself shifts focus towards infantry combat, finally opening up once again in the last two sectors.

The Germans must achieve the breakthrough with 375 respawn tickets. Attackers are allocated two Kettenkrad transport vehicles at all stages.

Sector 1

The first phase of the battle takes place on the western outskirts, with the Germans moving in from the Far East fields. The two objective areas are separated from each other across a long stretch of road and the Grapevines area. The direct route in takes attackers across open fields where they will be highly vulnerable, although large playable areas to the north and south encourage wide flanks. Objective A is on the north side, and is the farmhouse compound opposite the West Field, which is the Vineyard. The three structures inside make up the majority of cover, while the perimeter walls limit infantry access as long as they remain standing. Objective B, known as Artillery, consists of a small area on the east side of the Burning Fields, where an assortment of destroyed British tanks and mobile artillery guns mark what would be an otherwise unremarkable patch of farmland. The area can be heavily fortified by defenders, which include earthworks protecting the north and south approaches.

The attackers have two tanks with them at all stages of the battle.

Sector 2

Sector two takes place inside the town proper. Objective A is the Village flag, near the north end of town, while objective B is the Bridge further south. Both areas, in terms of location and capture zone size, are all but identical to their equivalent namesakes in Conquest. The Bridge objective is more isolated of the two, with defenders having to approach across an open field or the riverbed after spawning on the Bridge when being decapped. The Village flag is a rather small capture area for sizeable teams to fight over, and evokes the central sector of Grand Operations Frontlines.

Sector 3

In Sector three, the defenders are pushed to the opposite limits of the Village area. Objective A is Village West, and is orientated around a farmyard on the very edge of town, adjacent to the main road and north of the Ruins. It consists of a large barn and two smaller structures, although the capture zone expands across the road to encompass an adjacent row of houses and their back gardens. Objective B is at the Water Mill along the West River far to the south, which has been heavily fortified with eastward-facing sandbag barricades. The two objectives are more isolated than at any previous stage, and while this means attackers take longer to arrive in force, they are also more difficult for the British team to travel to when reacting to a crumbling defense. Each objective has a number of Vickers guns protecting the main route of advance.

Sector 4

The final stage has just one objective, the Hill Farm, found in the map's northwestern corner. Its position of the high ground, its close proximity to the British sector spawn (at the edge of the hill to the west), and its singular point of contact can make it difficult for attackers not only to reach the objective through the open fields but to dislodge the enemy once there. However, this concentration makes the position susceptible to Squad Reinforcement artillery strikes.

It is at this point that the British receive a single tank of their own.

Squad Conquest

BFV Squad Conquest Arras Layout

The layout for Arras in Squad Conquest is roughly triangular, covering the southwest section of the map.

A single tank is available for both teams. There is only one vehicle resupply station available, which is found in the Southern Fields off from the road connecting Bridge to Water Mill. This spot is rather exposed, meaning tanks must be alert while resupplying.


German Deployment

The Germans deploy along the East River, directly east of the Bridge. They spawn in low ground, shielded from line of sight of the Bridge flag. The Tank Wrecks are directly southwest of the deployment area.

British Deployment

The British deploy in the Western Fields along the road south of Water Mill. Their spawn is more open, but has a larger area restricting opposing team access.


A: Bridge

The closest objective to the German deployment, the lone house and its yard fall within the capture zone. From the objective, flanking routes are available to attack B objective. The upper windows of the house on the second floor are key firing positions for defenders to eliminate flanking enemies from B.

B: Ruins

This objective sits west of the village, and is the central zone for this mode. It consists of a small array of ruined foundations, resting in a hill clearing surrounded by fields and hedgerows. The height that the flag is built on offers clear line of sight over the surrounding low ground to the southeast and southwest, which can make approach difficult from both A and C, especially with a tank.

A health and ammo pickup can be built here.

C: Water Mill

This objective capture zone is similar to Conquest.

Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch uses the same map boundaries as Domination.


In Frontlines, teams face each other along the town's vertical axis, and unlike in Grand Operations there are three capture objectives and two headquarters bombing targets per faction. Vehicular loadout for each side consists of one tank and transport vehicle. Another tank and two gun carrier halftracks can be brought in with reinforcement points.

German Headquarters

The German HQ artillery guns are found ahead of their deployment at Water Mill, with one on each side of the river. Objective A is on the south side, and lies adjacent to the Southern Road on a stubby ridge called Southern Hill. Objective B is directly north on the riverbank in a lightly forested area called Small Fields.

A: Bridge

Located in its Conquest position, the Bridge sector covers the lone house, the riverbed and, as expected, the bridge itself.

B: Wine Store

The middle capture point is found in the south centre of the Village, downhill from Backstreets and raised up from the barn on Bridge Hill. It consists of a small walled garden with only a few existing entrances, and although the capture zone comprises the interior of four other nearby structures the area is rather constricted, spanning just 15m across. The limited entryways and line-of-sight blocking high walls assist greatly in keeping players out of a point under capture so long as they remain standing, although explosives directed towards them or the nearby houses can open up the space considerably.

C: Church

The Church objective is found north of the Village, and can be captured from both the inside of the structure as well as the surrounding graveyard. Its position on a hill can be useful to defenders covering the main route in from the south, although the slopes on either side allow ample alternative attack routes.

British Headquarters

The British HQ strategic objectives are positioned similarly to the German base objectives in the Grand Operations layer of Frontlines. Objective A is inside the compound of Vineyard, and objective B is dug in around the Western Fields at the Grapevines intersection.


Domination takes place almost entirely within the Village area, and includes its outskirts and portions of the surrounding fields to the north and east. The Church and Ruins fall within the play area.

A: Village West

This capture point is found near the western Village entrance, and consists of a farming compound that includes a barn. The capture zone is large, extending across the main road to encompass some houses on the opposite side of the street, as well as the compound and its associated building interiors.

B: Church

The Church objective has a capture zone that spans the ground floor interior of the Church building, as well as the perimeter of the graveyard. This allows the flag to be captured from both inside or outside the structure. Players in the belltower or on the roof will be outside the capture range.

C: Village South

Village South is found within a similar layout to Village West, consisting of the barn and compound combination on the edge of Bridge Hill, south of the Wine Store. The capture zone covers not just the barn and compound but an additional house adjacent to the main road to the west.


Arras is one of two maps, the other being Mercury, currently available on the gamemode Outpost. It could be played in the final week of Tides of War Chapter Three: Trial By Fire, between 13th and 20th June 2019.

Taking place across the whole length of the map, there are four objectives that are confined to the four corners of the play area.


Initially, each side has access to a Halftrack, three-seat light transport and a Kettenkrad. As they gain recruits, they gain access to a maximum of four tanks and two aircraft. The usual complement of Squad Reinforcement vehicles are also available.


German Deployment

The Germans deploy from the Burning Fields on the east side of the map, amongst the Tank Wrecks. Their spawn is roughly halfway between objectives B and D.

British Deployment

The British deployment is shifted slightly east of their regular Conquest spawn, and is now in the Northern Fields across from the Village. Their vehicles are orientated towards objective B, but the location is most proximal to objective A.


A: Hill Farm

The radio mast for objective A is located in the clearing between a farming cottage and barn on the top of the hill. The eastern road into the flag can be heavily reinforced with barricades, as can the lip of the ridge overlooking the fields on the south side of the barn. Unlike in other gamemodes, the farm silo can be climbed using one of two ladders, offering a clear if exposed vantage point against the lowlands at the foot of the tower.

An anti-aircraft gun can be found on the north side of the cottage. Two halftracks and a light vehicle spawn here.

B: East Field

Objective B is found inside the farming compound of Vineyard to the west of East Field. Enclosed by a barn, two houses and a large perimeter wall, the objective can be difficult to breach when considering its formidable set of fortifications, which include an anti-aircraft cannon, stationary HMGs, and a buildable AT gun which faces north.

The objective also spawns two light vehicles.

C: Water Mill

The Water Mill objective is similarly enclosed by both the barn and river to the south and a maze of sandbag barricades and wire along the northern approach. While the barn and the battlements give defenders good sightlines against enemies coming through the adjacent fields, a large dirt ridge on the west side can allow infantry to sneak between this flag and Hill Farm to the north.

The objective's AA gun is out in the fields to the west. Two light vehicles are additionally spawned here.

D: Bridge

Objective D, Bridge, has its mast located in the inner corner of the courtyard directly west of the Bridge House. It too has a large wall surrounding it, as well as pre-built obstacles lining the roads in.

An AA gun is found to the southeast of the position. Two halftracks and a light vehicles spawn here.


A standalone, limited-time version of Rush was added in the second week of Battlefest, first being playable between 10th and 17th October 2019. It is identical to Rush Large featured in the Battle of Hannut Grand Operation, having the same objective layout and vehicle complement, but with a reduced playercount and the standard 75 ticket limit for attackers.

Developer Notes

"Set in France, the battles near Arras were crucial in halting the German advance to allow the British Expeditionary Force to retreat at Dunkirk. Arras mixes large open fields together with houses and a dense village – you can expect a good mix of infantry combat as well as epic tank battles across the yellow fields.

Make your way to center to fight over the ever-contested village and climb up the tower of the church to get a good overview of the action. Or jump in your tank and drive across the fields and take control over the eastern open areas. If you find yourselves in the middle of the canola fields, just crouch down among the flowers and disappear from enemy view. Arras features both tanks and planes as well as jeeps and bikes."
