Once More Unto the Breach is the third mission of the Alliance campaign in Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal.

Mission briefing

Having broken the momentum of the Horde offensive at Nethergarde, the time is ripe for a decisive counter attack. The High Command agrees that a strong assault upon the fortress that the Orcs have raised near the Dark Portal may well end the conflict before it has rightly begun.

The Arch-Wizard Khadgar, however, believes that the Orcish Hordes may not be here for the sake of mere conquest. He believes that if the Portal can be captured, and not destroyed, he can uncover the purpose for the Horde's present invasion into Azeroth.

Objectives

• Destroy all strongholds and fortresses
• Turalyon must reach the Dark Portal alive

Trivia

• The starting Alliance base is Nethergarde Keep, as indicated by the ramparts and moat roughly matching the northern area of the previous mission.
