Well come to this walkthrough, this is all you need to know to survive the game.
I'm a leutenant with armstrong , a major with other and another leutenant with some one els. My overall rank is a Leutenant, so listn up!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
AVOID BEEING SHOT\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
If you are pinpointed by a enemy, beawar they will open fire within 2-3 seconds of having you in their site. 2-3 sec's is a lot, if you know how to use that valuable time!
if you are spotted, just try to spring using the 'e' (default key) . One important thing is, run away from the soldier targeting you, NOT into them!!!
Sometimes, while running you get shot quit easily. One important thing is, to run in a zigzag. That redues the chance of any bullets hitting you.
If theres an object near by, dont just look at it and carry on running, use it. Even small as a car, you still can crouch behind it. Your a 99% safe their, unless your enemy has high explosives. And if hiding behind a vehicle, if you get a chance, get in it and drive away!! It works.
Buildings are a VERY good place to hide in, as you can shoot anyone from the window, and duck before anyone els figures were the bullet came from.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
SHOOTING A SOLDIER\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
If the enemy soldier is still, its easy to target him a shoot him (aim for the face & chest)
If theyr running, you must's target them, but a little bit in front of them. So the bullet and the unit meat!. If firing a explisve weapon, at a enemy vehince. Allways target the rotating thin at top, if you get that right, you can neutrilize a T80 with 1 Law missile.
Target light vehicles near the from bunker, just a bit blow the bunker. That sends them flying most distance!!!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
WEAPONS\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
to use against infantry, these are recomanded:
M21, as its very percise.
M60 is the best machine gun to be used againt infantry, as it can use 10,000 rounds a minute. Its best used to destroy the enemy flanks.
M16, is the most popular one. It is very power full if set on automatic. As it can fire 5 shots a time.
AK47, not very powerfull, but if set to full automatic it can empty a magazine in 1 go!
Any other machine gun with a big range and fast fire is very useful against infantry.
Hand grenades are very useful, a hand grenade has a killing area of 15 metres.
Tanks are also effective.
LIGHT ARMOR
by that, I mean Choppers, Jeeps, cars, M113, Shilka or any other vehicle that is'nt very powerful.
By using LAW launchers, or any other small missile lauchers. by the way, there was'nt a mistake. Choppers have a VERY light armor. they are ivincible in air, but vunruble on ground.
Also targeting a light tank near the rear, can blow it up or badly damage it. Jeeps, cars and trucks dont really requir a rocket launcher. They could be disabled bu using a grenade (or two).
HEAVY ARMOR
Big launcher,s like CARL and AA launchers are suitable for the job.
Although they probably wont blow it up by one shot, but a few definately will. There is not much point in firing a LAW at a T80 tank, as you need 3-4 missiles whereas you could blow it up using 1 shot of a CARL launcher.
Chopres and planes are very strong against heavy armor, in a choper mostly AFFLAR and TOW (wire guided missile) are used against armor. TOW is the master of all game, ther is'nt a armor vehincle that survives one of these babys.
Also using Tanks v Tanks is a good idear, Only if your tank is stronger than your opponents.
And one more thing, bushes trees and forest are a great place to hide. Although bushes arent bullet proof, but they can keep you almost invisible.
This is basicly all you need to know to stay alive.
To complete the game, follow these tips and do what ya gotta do.

This walkthrough is unique and written by me, to use this in any way, ask for my permission.
The year is 1985, the time is the COLD WAR
You start off been a soldier (your rank: Soldier) you have to go through basic military training, this envolves obstacle courses and shooting range.
When you go though the first training, you will move onto you first mission. One thing you need to know: been promoted to a higher rank DOES take time. I am a LEUTENANT myself, I have done about 42 missions. So dont expect to be promoted after first few missions.
In the first levels, just do what you are told. You will attack some enemy bases, but nothing too hard.
After the first few levels, you will get the hang of the game. Now all you need to do, is to pick up new skills and keep playing the campaign.
So, after you have played couple of missions, You will get promoted. (atlst)
I am not sure what rank that is, but you will know when you are promoted.
When you get to an officer, you can comand for the first time in campaign! the command menue is simple to use, so I wont talk about it.
But here is some tips that will come VERY useful in battle, remember I am a LEUTENANT, its not the highest rank but I know about everything that there is to know!
First, you want a good angle on your oponant. I suggest trying to sneak up from behind IF possible. Do NOT do it if the enemy is garrisoning a city, as if they are garrinson in a city, they have a 360 degrees
angle of defend.
If they are attacking from a forest, or an open area, thats the PERFECT
area to circle them in. Just run to the 6 oclock possition (behind enemy position)
But be careful to not get seen, cause if you do your plan is RUIND.
DEFENDING.
Next thing, If possibly try to do a head shot. If using an automatic weapon that does not support scopes, try to shoot to their chest. As the chest is the 2nd weak point of a unit.
If if armed with a M21 or a SV riffle or any other scoped weapons, try to shoot them on the head. As that will kill ANY infantry unit instantly.
If they are attacking with armor (such as tanks) its NOT a smart idea to stand up to them when you or your squad dont have anti-tank missiles.
But, one thing you can do to a tank that will cause major damage to it, can easily be done by a M21 sniper riffle. Or any other weapon that support scopes. Or even with an M16, if target is not far away.
well, how to cause damager with one shot? heres how:
When attacking any division, is always a good idea to strike the higher rank units (If you can tell by their uniform) Because they are mostly the ones who discover suprise attacks and prevent most of your flanking. They are also the smartest.
But in a tank, the commander usually turn out to have a clear view. And usually the higher rank unit is the commander. If you shoot the commander in the head (kill it in other words) That tank would become less dangeros.
Because without a commander, it wont be able to fire as accurate or as well. Also without a commander, it will wonder off to places bicause it has no orders.
Defending a city:
ALWAYS, ALWAYS when deffending a city run into civilian buildings. Thats were you can easily shoot enemy, and make it hard for them to get you. This can make a squad of 10 units, destroy 40 units if its done correctly. But, Now way of defence is PERFECT. In this case, hidding in civilian buildings you are VERY Vulnerable to tak missile or enemy air support. Cause if your in an building, one tank missile to that building will cause all units inside it to die. So could a rocket from a chopper or a fighter.
In a battle you MUST:
Try to stay low, even get on the floor if neccesery.
Hide behind shelters, such as houses and walls.
You can cameflage in bushes and trees But they are NOT bullet proof, and if a bullet come your way, you are dead.
Throughing a grenade is VERY useful for clouse contact with enemy infantry or VERY light armer. By very light armor, I dont mean tanks, I mean jeeps and trucks.
If a grenade is lobbed correctly, it can blow any unit near it away. 99% it kills any one within 10 metres of the explosion, or it will HEAVILY damge units near it. It can blow up jeeps killing all passenger including driver. It can blow up truks, but It can over turn it or kill passengers if it is a open truck and the grenade is lobbed to the back of it.
If you see an enemy chopper, DONT attempt to get it on foot. As I have tryed with RPG launchers , LAW launchers , CARL launchers , AA missiles and many more. NO missile can strick a air unit, mainly because most missiles travler across, very good against any surface units. But most missiles cant even reach the helicopter, never mind hitting it!
A strong weapon agains any air unit is the awsome SHILKA. Wich can take a chopper down within 5 seconds of firring. When you are in air, and attacked by these. JUST EJECT, as you only have 5 sec. If in a fighter, as you are travelling a lot faster, you might have a slightly bit more time.
Well, if you keep to these tips, you WILL make it through to higher ranks. Hey, these stuff works. This is what I used to become a LEUTENANT and stay alive.
