CAMERA
Not essential for any mission, but if you’d like a memento, you may
take a snapshot at any time. It will be stored in the HIDDEN AND DAN-
GEROUS home directory.
BINOCULARS
Enable you to watch your enemy from great distance.
RADIO TRANSMITTER
Essential in certain situations. When switched on, provides a homing
signal for artillery or bombers.
The basic combination of weapons can be similar for all campaigns. It defi-
nitely pays to take a submachine gun for each member of the team, as this is the
most versatile personal weapon available. You have 4 men in the unit; consider
that some submachine guns may be lost in the battlefield. It is also essential to
have enough ammunition. Each soldier may fire 100 - 130 rounds in the course
of one mission. Another essential weapon is a sniper rifle: not only can you pick
off enemies from a safe distance, it also uses very little ammunition (ideally, one
round per kill).
Light machine guns are useful in most of the missions, but are heavy and use
a great deal of ammunition (at least 300 rounds per mission). It’s also a good idea
to take some hand grenades, as these are invaluable for clearing groups of sol-
diers and in interiors.
Mines can prove very useful against enemy vehicles as well as personnel. For
skirmishes at night, you will need flares, and if you should come upon some heavy
enemy armor, several bazookas could be your only chance. Make sure to have a
few pistols - just in case you need them in an emergency. Even though you can
capture some equipment from the enemy, it is always better to have your own
equipment in sufficient quantities.
• All weapons available are described in a special chapter. •
The Mission Briefing
Follow the instructions given about the mission and your goal very carefully.
Divide your men in such a way that the loss of one man will not seriously affect the
whole mission. Sometimes you can recover weapons from your killed comrades, but
don’t count on it. If the mission involves enemy armored vehicles, make sure that you
are equipped with anti-tank mines and bazookas. Don’t forget the machine guns;
their range and rate of fire are superior to that of submachine guns.
