CAMPAIGNS AND TUTORIALS
You must lead your deadly Commandos team throughout Europe. You will carry
out missions that hinder and disrupt enemy advancement. You will work with
the Allied army for larger scale encounters. Remember: we must defeat the Nazi
army and its hunger for world domination!
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin is divided into three campaigns - Stalingrad,
Central Europe, and Normandy. There is also a system of tutorials for new
officers who have no prior experience within the Commandos world.
THE TUTORIALS
If this is the first time you have taken a lead role in the Commandos series,
we recommend that you start with the tutorials. These will provide you with
a simple introduction to the Commandos world, giving you a step-by-step,
progressive explanation of everything you need to know. They also give you
instruction on how to control everything that happens in the game.
There are two tutorials: basic and advanced. In the basic tutorial you learn
everything about the execution of basic actions for movement and interaction
with enemies and environments. The advanced tutorial sends you on a guided
Commandos mission.
THE CAMPAIGNS
Stalingrad
We are in Stalingrad. A city of questionable strategic interest, it was once
the most fiercely guarded of Russian feudal kingdoms. It is now a city besieged
by Nazi troops. They seek to take control of Stalingrad and, as a result, control
one of Russia’s most powerful industrial centers. During this campaign, there
will be bloody guerrilla actions, some all out attacks, and some covert
operations in which snipers may play the main role. This is an important time,
a meeting of the Allied High Command must be held…
Our mission: Defend the life of Allied General Franklin O’Donnell, even
at the cost of our own.
Central Europe
The Franco-German border has been one of the most contended regions during
this war, and even more so during the last few years. Many convoys have had
to cross “the line” in order to transport weapons, troops, and supplies, giving it
vital logistical value in pursuing any military action.
The Nazis, because of their retreat from strongly
defended areas, have strengthened their forces
in the small town of Saint Avold, where they are
loading a train with all the works of art they
have looted during their stay in France.
Our mission: Prevent this train from reaching
Nazi territory.
