Getting the Action Ready
Strategy for selecting your men in a campaign.
At the beginning of the game you have 40 men at your disposal. Each man
has a “mug shot” and a listing of his own particular skills and personal history.
The individual skill ratings are:
SHOOTING
Gives info about the accuracy of his shooting. A soldier with 100%
value of SHOOTING always hits the target he is aiming at. This would
be an ideal soldier to use as a sniper. Soldiers with lower SHOOTING
ratings will not be as accurate, but can still be deadly with automatic
weapons.
REACTION
Gives info about the speed of his reactions. This characteristic is not
apparent when you control the soldier directly. However, when the
computer is controlling a soldier with higher values of REACTION, he
reacts to enemy’s fire much more readily.
STEALTH
Soldiers with greater stealth are harder to see and hear, and therefore
have a better chance of moving undetected behind enemy lines.
