[. . . ] This was subaltern (2nd Lieutenant) David Stirling. Only 26, he came from a long line of Scottish warrior aristocrats; the battle of Bannockburn had been fought near his ancestral home, Stirling Castle. Before the outbreak of World War II, the 6-foot 5-inch Stirling had been training for an assault on Mt. Now he'd come to Africa to help fight the Germans. . . but he'd run into an unanticipated delay. [. . . ] . Soldiers halt and survey the surroundings. . A soldier standing in your line of fire moves out of the way. . Everybody holds their fire and waits for you to start shooting. Note -- The "Follow me!" command can be used in a situation when you need to move the whole group somewhere else. While you are moving, the rest of soldiers are running in a loose formation behind you. As soon as you stop, the soldiers take up wing positions (depending on their number) and cover your flanks. 25 Map Mode Strategy (Overview Map) When coordination is very important, it is possible to program more complicated actions on the overview map. You may switch over to the map by pressing the SPACE BAR. The game pauses, giving you a chance to plan and program the action without worrying about time. In this chapter, you will find out how to use the map. MAP 1 Changing the Map View To be able to plan the action in detail, you may want to zoom or rotate the map display. Clicking on the icons with the mouse controls the view of the map. MAP 2 STRATEGY Icons 1. This icon cancels map mode and returns to the game (same as hitting the SPACE bar). Keep the left mouse button depressed and move the mouse left or right. If you then switch to another soldier, the previous soldier will continue his original instructions. There is no point in programming more than 3 soldiers. During the game, one soldier will always be under direct control. Explanation of Map Commands MOVE After pressing this icon you can mark the point to which the soldier should proceed. A line is draw pointing out the route he will take. You can "stack" several of such icons, one after the other. When carrying out this task, your soldier will be listening carefully for any suspicious sounds and will survey his surroundings constantly for trouble. If he is ambushed or if he spots an enemy, he will take the necessary action. STRATEGY FOLLOW When issuing "FOLLOW ME!" during play, your soldier will be assigned to follow another soldier. You can then click on whoever the soldier is to follow. Use this in a situation when you want one soldier to follow the route of another. Note -- When determining whom the soldier is to follow, you can also use the icon in the bottom part of the map. USE Point out the object the soldier is to use. If you point him to a fixed machine gun and click GUARD, he will fire it at any enemy within range. USE INVENTORY Instruct a soldier to use an object from his inventory. [. . . ] Dangers are the possible explosion of the fuel tank, and being captured by the enemy. Motorcycles and Sidecars If you let the machine gun installed on the motorbike shoot first, it could cause trouble for your squad. Eliminate the crew immediately after "eyeballing " it. Armored Vehicles These vehicles are very well protected. Their destruction by infantry is a very tricky task. Armored Personnel Carrier Infantry weapons cannot harm the crew of an armored personnel carrier. It is a good idea to use a sniper to eliminate the vulnerable machine gunner on top. [. . . ]
