MOVEMENT
WALKING AND RUNNING
To move the currently selected soldiers, click the left mouse button once
on the place you want to go to and the soldier will walk there.
If you want the soldier to run to the spot, double-click the left mouse button
on the destination point; you will get there faster but will make more noise
and you may give your position away to the enemy.
Your men will always take the shortest route. This route will be shortened
further if you order your man to run to that location, since he will jump over
obstacles if possible.
CLIMBING
The Thief can scale walls. Click on the
wall to climb. On some walls you can
move laterally and peer into windows
to then move inside. You cannot shoot
while hanging onto a wall. When you
exit through a high window with the
Thief or Green Beret, you will hang
directly from the face of the wall
or the wires that run to the window.
LADDERS
All your soldiers can use ladders.
Left-click a ladder to use it. You can
stop your ascent by right-clicking
and resume your climb by pressing
the left mouse button again. You
cannot defend yourself while climbing
a ladder.
SQUEEZE THROUGH GAPS
All your Commandos can crawl through
small holes in the scenery when lying
down. Left-click on the hole you would
like to crawl through.
HIDING PLACES
The Thief can hide. Left-click on the hiding place to use it.
To exit, click either mouse button. Use the F7 key to
display places on the map where you can hide.
SWIMMING
All of your men can swim. To dive into the water, left-click on it. If you want
to slip into the water without making noise, make sure your Commando is
lying on the ground before clicking on the water.
Once in the water, click once to swim without making noise, and double-click
to swim faster. This will make more noise.
To get out of the water, left-click on the bank and you will pull yourself out.
If you double-click, your Commando will stand up after getting out
of the water and will run to the specified location.
PRESS UP AGAINST A WALL
Blend into walls to help avoid being
seen. All of your men can press up
against walls.
If you left-click on the bottom
of a wall, your Commando will press
up against it and will only be visible
to enemies at close range, even
if he is not wearing a Nazi uniform.
By clicking on the bottom of the wall
to the left or right of your Commando,
you can move while against a wall,
maintaining your cover.
To move away from the wall, press the left mouse button
on the location you want to move to.
POLES AND WIRES
The Green Beret and Thief can climb to the top of poles to use the wires.
The Sniper can can shoot from the top of the pole.
Climb a pole by clicking on it with the mouse. Once at the top, move to the left
or right by clicking on the wire in the direction you want to move in. To stop,
press the right mouse button.
To drop to the ground, press the right mouse button when stationary.
If your Commando falls from a great height, he may be injured.
