Mission 3 saw both sides active in the southern part of the island. The UK and Denmark pushed west, but took heavy losses doing so.
Canada sent tanks to the south as well to support the USA. After breaching a minefield, the US and Canada began to reclaim ground in the south but
the mission ended before they could exploit their breakout. Canada sent one of their LAV's across the bay in the north and established a foothold on the
opposite side. The mission ended just as it was becoming nighttime. The next mission will be played during the night.

Mission 4 was a night time mission in its entirety. Canada reinforced their beachhead with additional infantry but were eventually cleared out by the UK troops.
Canada was able to send more LAV's across the bay and managed to keep a foothold inside UK territory. In the south, USA and Canada launched an early offensive,
but were stopped by a minefield before they could make further gains.

This was the final mission in the OPV4 campaign. It began with a risky move by the Canadians trying to drive their tanks through a British minefield, but it paid off, and they were able to link up with their forces in their beachhead. This move diverted UK forces from the south in an attempt to contain the Canadian tanks, and the Brits were successful in hunting them down with the help of a Danish tank platoon. The combined UK/Danish force also cleared out a number of NZ LAV's that had crossed the bay in the north. In the south, the US and Denmark traded shots, but eventually Denmark was able to break out in the south and UK tanks helped the advance to the west.

The campaign ended in a draw as neither alliance was able to gain enough ground to earn a minor victory, but it was very close with time running out before the UK/Danish alliance could push further to the west.
