Pistol
Given the difficulty of finding the appropriate ammunition for his Colt in the British Army, “Perkins” has no
choice but to use the efficient Smith & Wesson W9. Click on it, and then on the target. Hot key: G
Armed vehicles and artillery posts
As was explained earlier, Sid can drive land vehicles. While you are driving an
armed vehicle, press Control and the movement pointer will turn into a gunsight.
Without releasing the Control key, click on a target to shoot a volley at it.
Sam can also capture heavy machineguns and even heavy artillery posts. He han-
dles these kinds of weapons as if they were vehicles, except that it is not possible to move. When
the activation cursor appears on post,click to man it, CONTROL and click on a target to shoot at it,and click Sid’s photograph
to abandon the post.
Submachine gun
A more powerful and longer range weapon than the pistol.It is used in the same way as the pistol, and fires
deadly fan-shaped volleys.

Sid reluctantly is the also the group’s medic.Would you want a mechanic near you
with a scalpel? Click on the first aid kit and the pointer will turn into a syringe.Then
click use on yourself or on a wounded mate. His health level will increase.

Marine: James Blackwood A.K.A.“Fins”
Born in Melbourne and educated at Oxford, this polite Australian, naval engineer, great rower and tire-
less swimmer, has three unique skills:sailing,diving... and getting into trouble for swallowing certain dis-
tilled liquids.A man who was able to swim across the English Channel on a bet, was promoted to cap-
tain only one year after joining the Navy, and was demoted to sergeant when two years later, he started
a fight in a private club during a stopover in Hawaii. Subsequent behavior problems led him to consider
a hard choice: be expelled from the Armed Forces,or join the Commandos as a simple soldier.
Leaving aside his problems with alcohol, apparently under control for now, he was decorated with a
Military Cross for his heroic behavior when he rescued 45 stranded British soldiers who were about to be captured on the
beaches at Dunkirk. “Fins” is an irreplaceable character when it comes to aquatic operations: his mates insist that he could
cross the Atlantic Ocean in a shoe box... as long as he has a good supply of “fuel”.
Moving Barrels
From time to time you will run into explosive (fuel) barrels. Only your Green Beret has the strength needed
to lift them and change their location,depositing them where they will cause the maximum amount of dam-
age. Click on the hand and then on the desired barrel, and Jerry will pick up the barrel. Right-click and he
will release it. The activation pointer may also be used. Shooting the barrel causes a nice big bang.
Hiding bodies
This tactic permits McHale to carry the body of a fallen enemy.A very useful move, since if an enemy patrol
should find the body of one of their soldiers, they will immediately raise the alarm. Click on the hand (or
press H) and then on the body you want to carry. To drop your “dead” weight, click on the hand and then
right click on the location you want to drop it. It is also possible to place a barrel on top of the body to hide
it.To do this, while Jerry is carrying a barrel, place the movement pointer over the fallen enemy soldier.The cursor will change
shape. Click and Jerry will drop the barrel on top of the enemy body, hiding it.
Shovel
One of Tiny’s favorite tactics is a surprise attack that emerges from snow or from sand. To do this, he will
dig a hole with his shovel and will hide under the surface, then suddenly reappear behind the back of an
unsuspecting enemy. While you are over snow or sand, click on the shovel in the knapsack and Jerry will
hide.When you want to emerge again, simply right-click. Hot key: F
Driver: Sid Perkins A.K.A “Tread”
He says his name is Sid, and not much is known about his background. In 1937, after a long crimi-
nal career in the United States, he crossed the Atlantic and joined the British Army. His motive was a
pending prison sentence and being sought by the American authorities. During some sessions of
“custodial collaboration” with the Foreign Office, in which he helped to test and investigate weapons
and vehicles stolen from the enemy, he met Paddy Maine, who recruited him for the Commandos.
During the raid on the airfield at Tamet together with the Long Range Desert Group, and after destroy-
ing eight German fighter planes with the machinegun aboard his Vickers K Armed jeep, he was left
without ammunition. His ingenious personal solution was to crash the vehicle against the remaining aircraft that were full of
fuel, which destroyed four additional fighters, but left him with serious burns.
This rough man, cheerful but occasionally timid, can use any weapon or vehicle with great skill. His manners reflect the edu-
cation he received on the street.We will probably never know his real name, but then...who cares?
