STRATEGY
STRENGTH
This parameter determines the amount of equipment and weapons that
the soldier is able to carry. The higher the value, the more he can carry.
ENDURANCE
This parameter determines what injuries the soldier can endure. The
higher the value, the more hits he can survive.
You are allowed to select 8 soldiers for a campaign. A good marksman will
definitely be very useful, because in most missions a sniper represents your best
weapon. Really good snipers are rare in the game; if you lose one in a mission,
it will probably be best to replay the mission. Soldiers with an average shooting
ability are suitable for providing cover, and are very effective when equipped with
an automatic weapon. Soldiers able to carry heavy loads are useful as carriers
of light machine guns and bazookas. The importance of being able to react quick-
ly will become apparent once you send the soldier against the enemy. If he has
an automatic weapon and enough ammunition, he’ll emerge as the winner from
most encounters.
When choosing a soldier, bear in mind that if you lose one of your soldiers,
he is lost for the duration of the campaign. The missions become more difficult
and demanding as the game progresses, so you should try to save the best and
most capable soldiers for the final stages of the game. Let us remind you again
that once you lose a soldier, he is lost forever!
Choosing Weapons and Equipment for the Campaign
There are many types of weapons and equipment available in this game,
each of them suitable for a different purpose. It is, however, possible to divide
them into several categories:
SNIPER RIFLES
Equipped with a variable magnification telescopic sight. In the hands
of an experienced sniper, this is a superior weapon.
SUBMACHINE GUNS
An ideal basic weapon. Effective against groups of enemies and in
interiors (such as inside buildings). Can go through a lot of ammunition
in a short time unless carefully used. Not particularly accurate at long
range.
MACHINE GUNS
The best weapon to be used when you are outnumbered. Can only be
fired from prone position, and requires a great deal of ammunition.
