− | Wellington Farm consists of two buildings, a farmhouse and a barn, situated alongside a crossroads in the middle of the wheat fields south of the river. It is overlooked to the north by a ridge, atop which is the first German trench line (known in Shock Operations as Wellington Trench), which appears as a dominant defensive position against the exposed fields lying in between, although the surrounding wheat can obscure players lying prone. The buildings offer the majority of cover in the capture zone's immediate vicinity but can be demolished with explosives. On the objective outskirts, the occasional shell hole and fallen tree can be used to bound across the field in cover - either to climb the hill once the flag is captured, or to descend it to counterattack against the objective. |

Following the road north through the first fortified line leads to the Somme River valley. The water is shallow, allowing it to be easily forded by infantry and vehicles alike. A single bridge spans the waterway, connecting the south section of main road to the north's larger portion--the bridge can be partially, or completely, destroyed using explosive weapons. |

The capture zone of the objective comprises the central section of the ridgeline trenches, which extends some distance forward into the wheat fields to allow attackers to gain a foothold. The relatively small capture zone can be difficult to attack, although it also leaves the Germans concentrated into an area vulnerable to artillery barrage. The defenders should also be mindful of their extreme flanks, such as on the other side of the road to the east or around the lumber piles to the west, which can give British access to the trench entrances and allow them to enact enfilade fire along its length. Counterattacks by the defenders can be difficult to pull off, as their primary spawn for this sector is along the riverbank - they must climb back up the hill and jump almost blindly back into the trenches in order to stall capture momentum. |

An [[Infiltrator]] kit is additionally provided, which may prove vital in its ability to enable frontline reinforcement and to sweep trenches clear with artillery. |

Each objectives are fairly isolated from one another by open ground, and are themselves enclosed from most sides to prevent long-range supporting fire. They must therefore be won in point-blank fighting. |
Objective A, Sugar Mill, is located forward of its regular Conquest location across the road further to the south. The crumbling brick walls still standing, as well as the archways on the east side, bar sightlines into the position from the outside. Inside the area, rubble piles, broken machinery and shell craters provide defenders with plenty of protective options, although the area can be attacked from any direction due to the attacking team's nonrestrictive map boundaries. |
