An assassination on the second Rogue target, using a grenade from one of his own guards.
Setup
Samuel Smith is half surrounded by guards. The only one you want alive is the brute, but kill the others before they get in the way. You don't have to worry about the target because he just stands there, too afraid to run or fight.
When you first get into combat, the brute usually throws a grenade. If that fails, you'll have to either escape open conflict or climb somewhere. In my case the brute prepared to throw a grenade, but changed his mind and attacked me. When he does throw a grenade, make sure you're close enough to the target.
I noticed one time when he saw a dead body, the brute threw a grenade at a haystack, so if you could find a way to move the target closer to the haystack, you could do this without ever becoming detected.

In sequence 2 memory 5 Freewill memory, Shay goes against the assassins. Here is how to assassinate Hope in this mission.
Roaming outside the Mission
After the scene where a gunshot collapses the path between two hills, you can backtrack by going around. Climbing up the hill can be tricky at first because Shay can only go up short ledges. With tall ledges he'll do a wall run but can't pull himself up.
On the original run from the cutscene, some fallen burning trees block the way, but reloading the checkpoint gets rid of them.

In the James Wardrop assassination.
Early Death
Near the beginning you observe Benjamin Franklin giving a speech. Guess who's also attending? AC3's Templar target William Johnson.
Ranged weapons have no effect on him, and you can't get close enough to assassinate without starting the scene. Actually there was one time I was scaling the building and the game let me air assassinate him, but all other times since then I was never given the option.
Berserking a civilian might lead to Johnson's defeat, but the NPC will have to be pretty close to him because of an invisible barrier. The civilian might also attack one of the other civilian's, although it's usually Johnson they go after.
Of course he respawns for the scene, but the same can't be said for all the civilians who got spooked away.
Dead on Arrival
Assassinate the target James Wardrop as soon as he appears. First you have to kill a messenger before he reaches the target, or you fail the mission. to do this right you have to delay the messenger's death so you can get inside the fortress and lay wait for Wardrop.
It was during this I discovered you can pick up sleeping bodies in Rogue. Carry the messenger as far as you can on your way to the inside to avoid getting too far away. The messenger will continue his roue to the front door. Once inside make your way along the roof to the front and berserk him.
Now wait in the tall grass. At first I tried killing all the guards inside, but that was overwhelming with such short time. So I chose to make the fight each other so I wouldn't get noticed. Holding down 
, Shay will kill the target as soon as he spawns.
