Equipment Selection

MENU4

To carry out a mission, you need to select

the weapons and equipment the soldiers carry

into action. Choose suitable weapons by

scrolling the column on the left-hand side. At

the beginning of the game, only Allied

weapons are available, but as campaigns

progress, you can capture enemy weapons

and equipment as well. By the last campaign,

you should have collected quite an arsenal!

The weapons selected for each campaign

are arranged in a large window at the right side of the screen. Data about the

weapons is displayed in a smaller window in the middle of the screen. To add any

weapon, click on it, then click on “Add item.” The weapon, with basic essential

ammo, will then appear in the large window. The figures under each weapon

show the number of weapons and quantity of ammo carried.

You can add other weapons by pressing button “Add item”, and more ammu-

nition by pressing “Add ammo”. Remember, though, that weapons and ammo are

heavy—your men can carry only a limited quantity of each. The progress indica-

tor under the larger window shows the load they are carrying (in percent of the

total possible).

To remove items you don’t need, click the item, then “Remove item” or

“Remove ammo” as appropriate. Proceed to the next menu by pressing “OK”.

Return to the previous menu by pressing “Back”.

• If you prefer to let the computer select your weapons for you, click on

“Auto set-up”. The computer will choose an optimum selection of weapons

and ammunition.

• Some campaigns may require special equipment, such as time bombs.

Special equipment is automatically added to the list when you use “Auto

set-up”. Naturally, you can modify the list according to your needs.

• You can also add or delete weapons by double-clicking the mouse.

• Strategy for choosing weapons is described in a special chapter.
