Note — Due to its small caliber and low muzzle velocity, the pistol is not a
very effective weapon. However, you can still kill an enemy with it and capture his
equipment, provided you hit the right spot. Aim at his head.
HAND GRENADES AND EXPLOSIVES
• Hand Grenade
When throwing a hand grenade, you can regulate the length of the throw. If
you keep the mouse button pressed for a few seconds, an indicator showing the
throwing power will appear. There are two types of hand grenades available. The
delayed-action hand grenade is suitable for combat taking place in interiors; you
can even throw it around a corner or into a room by letting it bounce off a wall.
The contact hand grenade is suitable for outside fighting and for providing cover,
because it explodes immediately on impact.
Note — The hand grenade is usually less effective than most people would
think. If you throw it into a room, be cautious going in, as surviving enemies might
still be hiding under a table or behind furniture.
• Mines
Mines are most effective when used in large numbers. However, if you expect
enemy traffic in a certain area, a small quantity of mines might prove to be very
effective. When expecting enemy armor, mine the probable access routes along
which the enemy is likely to advance. To lay a mine, choose it from the inventory
and then use it.
Note — Caution! The safety pin on the mine is removed immediately after it
has been laid on the ground, so it represents a threat to you and your soldiers as
well as to the enemy.
• Explosives
Used in a number of missions. Choose the most effective spot for laying the
charge. Set the time delay of the explosion by using the Forward/Backward but-
tons for movement. Press “U” again and the time remaining to detonation will
start ticking off. The time remaining to detonation can be seen in the upper right
corner of the screen.
Note — Caution! This explosive is very powerful, with large blast radius
effect. Keep a safe distance. You should also consider the possibility of chain-
reaction explosions around you as well.
DISGUISES
• Uniforms
If you succeed in getting hold of an enemy uniform or some civilian clothes,
you can wear them and move about behind enemy lines undetected. This can be
advantageous in many situations. However, every disguise is blown with time so
it is necessary to avoid staying in the same place for too long.
