User Guide

Note — The “Follow me!” command can be used in a situation when you
need to move the whole group somewhere else. While you are moving, the rest
of soldiers are running in a loose formation behind you. As soon as you stop, the
soldiers take up wing positions (depending on their number) and cover your
flanks.
DIALOGUE WITH CIVILIANS / CAPTIVES
In some missions, it is possible to talk with certain characters. The dialogue is
automatically activated as soon as you approach them. Listen carefully; you might
gain some important information.
Note — Avoid shooting aimlessly. Don’t shoot at civilians. They might provide
you with important information.
CONTROLLING FELLOW FIGHTERS
You have up to 4 soldiers in each mission. While you can control only one at
a time directly, other soldiers can carry out orders issued either on the map, or in
real time. How to control your soldiers using this map is described below.
SWITCHING BETWEEN SOLDIERS
You can see the soldier you are controlling in the center of the screen (pro-
vided you have not selected the 1st person view). In the lower part of the screen
are icons showing the state of all four soldiers on your mission. The active soldier
is highlighted. You can cycle through the soldiers by hitting the TAB or Shift + TAB
keys (forward or reverse cycle), or select them directly using numbers 1 through
4. As soon as you change to a different soldier, the appropriate icon is high-
lighted. Soldiers not under active control or specific orders guard their positions
and automatically defend themselves when attacked.
REAL TIME COMMANDS
In some cases, you can issue commands directly to other soldiers. This can be
sufficient for most control purposes. There are 5 such commands you can issue by
using hot-keys; these are described under CONTROLLING THE SOLDIERS. The
active soldier will call out the commands in the direction he’s facing, and all sol-
diers within 15 meters will hear him. These are the commands:
