INTRODUCTIONInstallationIf your computer has an activated auto-run function,

your computer will automatically install the game,

once you insert the original CD disc into your

CDROM/DVD-ROM drive.

If your computer does not have the above function,

please use Windows Explorer to view the CD’s contents

and then double click on the „Setup.exe“ icon shown in

the root directory.

Follow the on-screen prompts, the game will be

installed and will ask you if you wish to install the

latest version of DirectX. If you agree, the program

will only update your version of DirectX if it is

already on your computer.

Depending on your system, the computer may ask to

reboot in order to activate the game’s configuration.

MissionIn Korea: Forgotten Conflict you are commander of a

special force commando which executes special tasks

behind enemy lines. Mission objectives that are wait-

ing for you include actions in the most dangerous

areas in enemy territory.

Once put in action, there is no help or support avail-

able, only you are responsible for all decisions made.

Achieving mission objectives solely depends on your

tactics and how clever you are.

Prepare for investigation in secret enemy facilities,

rescuing important people or destroying and sabotaging

enemy military equipment. Your work should be kept secret

whenever possible, however there are situations where

heavy fighting is involved. Remember that if any of your

commando comrades die, then you fail! The enemy is heart-

less and will punish you for every little mistake.

Korea: Forgotten Conflict should be more than a

description of events that took place on the Korean

peninsula, we tried to develop a game that will satis-

fy gamers’ expectations and involve them in the Korean

War, one of the bloodiest wars in the past century.

All names of characters are fictitious and any simi-

larity is merely coincidental.

Dates, historical events and any items used in the

game are as close as possible to real events, however

they were modified for the game’s purpose. For accu-

rate information regarding the Korean War and all

related issues please refer to official sources of

information.

We have created Korea: Forgotten Conflict as a comput-

er game.

Qualifying Mission’s objectivesAt the beginning of each mission you will receive

basic instructions, including a brief description of

the mission’s objectives. Information you receive can

be described as:

� Situation description and reason why your com-

mando is involved

� Mission’s objectives

� Area observation with some important recommen-

dations by command center regarding tactics and

possible progress

All of the above can be aborted by pressing the 'ESC' key

and the mission will begin. While playing, you may remind

yourself of the mission’s objectives by pressing the

'TAB' key. For further information, please press the 'M'

key, showing the mission map and objective’s description.

Level of difficultyMission’s objectives remain the same, no matter what

level of difficulty you are playing. The distinction

between various levels of difficulty is in enemies’

behavior, inability to shoot for a longer distance,

54

number of tools and supplies available.

Set up level of difficulty will also influence the

number of save points available for a mission.

We recommend setting up a normal level of difficulty.

It allows using more save points, first aid equipment

and accurate long-distance shooting.

When using a higher level of difficulty, for killing

enemies, you must move closer to them in order to kill

them with one shot. You must remember that guns some-

times break down accidentally. Also, enemies react

much quicker than at lower levels of difficulty. There

is also a lack of medical supplies.

Korean WarBasic facts

� One of the bloodiest conflicts in the last

century. About 4 million people died. Estimated

rates are 2 million Korean civilians and 1.5

million communist soldiers (North Korean and

Chinese), 400 000 South Korean soldiers and 35

thousand Americans and allied soldiers.

� The Korean War started on June 25, 1950 in the

morning when North Korean troops invaded South

Korea. Ceasefire is dated on July 27, 1953

when the armistice was signed. This war has

never had a winner or looser, it ended where

it started, on the 38th parallel that divides

the peninsula into two parts. In fact, the bad

atmosphere still remains today.

� North Korean and Chinese forces included about

2.5 million men, on the opposite side, under

the flag of the United Nations, about one mil-

lion soldiers were involved. These men came

from America, Australia, Britain, France,

Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Luxembourg,

Columbia, Turkey, Ethiopia, South Africa,

Greece, the Philippines, and Thailand.

This game is dedicated to all the people who died in

this bloody war.

GAMEIn this section you will get information about basic

parts of Korea: Forgotten Conflict, such as game con-

trol, game tactics, characters who are members of the

commando.

The following information will help you choose the

right tactics and achieve the mission’s objectives.

So, please read carefully.

Observation of mission and game controlOnce you are in control, you can move the camera

freely above the whole mission area. This provides a

unique experience and allows you to gather information

that may be used later before giving orders.

Camera movementKorea: Forgotten Conflict provides you with a full 3D

environment, which means that steady camera movements

can be carried out in many directions.

To move camera

Horizontal movement: use cursor arrows

Vertical movement: use Page Up and Page Down keys.

However we recommend using the mouse for camera move-

ments, while pressing the middle button and moving the

mouse, the camera will move in the desired direction.

The mouse wheel is used for changing the vertical

position of the camera.

Thanks to free camera rotation, you can see the scene

from many angles.

Camera rotationIf you want to see what is happening around the cor-

ner, just turn around the scene to get a complete pic-

ture of the situation.

Holding the ‘SHIFT’ key and the left or right cursor

arrow will rotate the camera.

The same effect will be achieved when holding the

'SHIFT' key, pressing the middle mouse button

and moving the mouse left or right.

Camera zoomIn addition to the above mentioned camera movements

you can zoom the camera.

Pressing the '+' or '–' key can adjust the detail of

camera shot.

Lock-on and release cameraThis is another function. Click on the camera icon on

the control bar to activate the function, or press the

‘HOME’ key. Click or press again to release the camera.

The lock-on camera mode will follow the chosen object

but cannot be moved sideways. The zoom function is

still available.

98

Game interfaceThe game interface helps you control the game. You may

give orders to your commando comrades or allied sol-

diers later in the game.

All orders are given with a left mouse click on an

interface icon or by using key shortcuts.

This picture describes parts of the game interface.

CursorThe cursor in the shape of an arrow is the basic tool

that controls your commando members during the game.

The cursor is moved above the area and across the mis-

sion with the mouse. All orders are given either by

left or right mouse clicks.

In some cases, orders are given by a combination of

pressing keys and using the mouse.

The cursor reacts to surroundings and changes shape

according to its position above an object.

Enemy’s visibilityIf you click on the ‘show enemy’s visibility’ icon,

the cursor changes shape. Clicking on a selected enemy

will highlight the enemy’s line of vision and indicate

the center of his visibility.

11

Mission bordersIf you reach the mission border, the camera can no

longer move. Please turn back.

Searching for enemies and interactive itemsAs mentioned in the Camera section, the camera’s sta-

tus defines what you can see. Pressing the ‘O’ key

will highlight all enemies, allies or your commando

comrades in a particular area, regardless of their

position.

Pressing the ‘P’ key will highlight all interactive

items in the scene.

Highlighting all sol-

diers helps to get a

nice overview of the

whole situation.

These functions are very

useful strategic tools

that help identify sol-

diers and items that can

affect your progress.

Learn to plan your

action in advance and

you will make better

progress.

10

hint text will describe the place and remind you of

the mission’s objectives.

While you are looking at the map, the game is paused

and you can plan your progress without hassle.

Mission’s objectivesTo have a quick overview of the mission’s objectives,

press the ‘TAB’ key and you will see the present situ-

ation.

This information can influence your next actions and

progress.

HelpWhenever you need to know a key shortcut, press the

‘F1’ key. The game will pause and the screen will show

a help text dialogue.

The help text dialogue will disappear after again

pressing the ‘F1’ or ‘ESC’ key.

Weapons, items and tools in inventoryGame interface helps you control all available

weapons, tools and items. All characters can carry all

items, even if they cannot use them.

Items which the character cannot use are colored gray.

A left mouse click on the inventory icon next to a

character’s portrait will open the inventory showing

all currently carried objects.

The picture shows an

open inventory for two

of your characters.

For instance if you

want to use the pistol,

left mouse click on the

pistol icon in the

inventory, hold the

left mouse button and

drag the pistol to the

13

The enemy’s best visibility is in the direction of the

highlighted line. Please move your commando members as

far from the line as possible.

By clicking on other enemy soldiers, you can have an

overview of each soldier’s visibility and you know

what area is under their control.

A right mouse click will restore the cursor arrow.

To abort the highlighted enemy’s visibility, please

click repeatedly on the enemy soldier with the eye

cursor and the highlighted visibility will disappear.

MapPressing the “M” key will show you the mission’s photo

taken from an airplane provided by command center.

The photo not only shows the mission’s objectives but

also interesting places.

This is an interactive mission map where you will find

useful information about your objectives.

If you move the cursor above indicated locations, a

12

If you want to run behind an enemy guard, pay atten-

tion, he may hear you, and it might be better to crawl

in this situation.

Examining and manipulating itemsAs mentioned above, it is possible to highlight active

and usable items by clicking on an icon in the Game

interface or by pressing the ‘P’ key.

In general if you want to manipulate items, use a

right mouse click. Just right mouse click on any

active item, for instance if you want to search for

things on an enemy body, right mouse click on the

body.

In both examples, the character’s inventory opens as

well as the item you are examining and you may manipu-

late and move items.

The same method is used for searching, investigating,

using switches and opening doors, gates, turning off

electricity etc.

Behavior modeA mouse click on the icon under the character’s por-

trait can change the character’s behavior to either

aggressive or normal.

If the character is holding a gun or is standing by a

rifle or machine gun, he will start firing immediately

after spotting an enemy.

Aggressive behavior is suitable when the soldier’s

orders are to defend someone or something.

Health bar and caring for the woundedThe green column next to the character’s portrait

informs about the character’s health, it may happen

that during a mission the character is wounded and

needs medical treatment.

15

character’s hand, indicated in the bar next to the

character’s portrait. The same effect will be achieved

by a left mouse click on the pistol with the cursor.

If you want to move an item from one character’s

inventory or hand to another’s, please use the above

mentioned method.

A right mouse click anywhere on the screen will close

the inventory.

Changing positions: crawl, crouch, stand upA click on the position icon will order the character

to change positions.

Each icon represents one of the following positions,

stand up, crouch, and crawl.

Shortcut keys can be used as well, press the “C” key

to stand up, the “V” key to crouch and the “B” key to

crawl.

Crawling will allow your soldiers to stay hidden with-

out being noticed by enemy soldiers, it also influ-

ences their shooting accuracy. A soldier lying on the

ground has a better chance to aim at an enemy than a

standing soldier.

Do not forget that

icons in the inter-

face show you your

soldiers’ positions,

even if they have

just come into the

scene…

If a character is

standing, double

click with the mouse

on a destination and

the character will

run to that point. Running is the fastest way to move;

however it makes a lot of noise.

14

and moving the left mouse button may select characters

within a selected border.

Selecting allied soldiersAllied soldiers can be selected in following way:

� Left mouse click with cursor on the soldier.

If you want to select more allied soldiers at

once, hold the ‘CTRL’ key and left mouse key,

allied soldiers within the border will be

selected and are under your command.

� If you want to change the position of the

allied soldiers, use shortcut keys.

� The “C” key is used to stand up, the “V” key

to crouch and the “B” key to crawl.

Movement during a missionIf you want to move your soldier, left mouse click on

the desired destination. Selected soldier or soldiers

will move to this point.

If you want him or them to run, just double click

instead of single click.

Characters will choose the shortest way to get to the

point, therefore be careful that their path does not

cross in front of or near enemy soldiers. They could

die easily.

Inside the buildings all of your soldiers may move

from one floor to another using stairs or ladders.

Each floor cleverly becomes transparent in order to

show the current positions of active soldiers.

If you want the character to move to a place that is

out of range, your soldier will inform you that he

cannot move there. In this case you must plan a dif-

ferent way to go.

Doors and gatesIf you want to go through a door, just right mouse

click with a cursor on the door. The active character

will move to the door and open it.

17

The more serious the wounds, the less the soldier is

able to fight. For instance, a wounded soldier cannot

carry an enemy body or run and he is also less accu-

rate when aiming at enemies.

However do not give up, one of the commando members is

a medic, who is able to provide essential medical

treatment, provided she has got enough medical sup-

plies.

If the medic is not present, other commando members

can provide first aid, however the effect will not be

the same as if the medic does the treatment.

Selecting a character or a group of charactersClicking on a character’s portrait will select this

character. You may select a character by directly

clicking on his body in the scene. Shortcuts can be

used in following way:

� First character, press the “Q” key, second

character, press the “W” key, third character,

press the “E” key, fourth character, press the

“R” key and fifth character press the “T” key.

� If you want to quickly move the camera above a

character, hold the ‘SHIFT’ key and press a

key corresponding to a character (see previous

article).

� The most recently chosen character is high-

lighted in the game interface.

All characters within

the border will be

shown and controlled at

the same time.

If you want to select

more characters, hold

the ‘CTRL’ key and

click on all desired

characters or press

shortcut keys.

Holding the “CTRL” key

16

The character will go underground and reappear near

the exit.

This allows you to avoid any contact with enemy troops

and get closer to the mission’s objective.

Taking and discarding itemsDuring your mission you will find various military

equipment that is sometimes useful.

Some ready to use items can be found in different

boxes, on tables, near enemies.

But be aware that your inventory is limited, therefore

carefully plan every step and only take items that you

think will be essential or very helpful.

Pick up an item with a right mouse click on the cursor

over the item.

Search boxes and

other items for

useful supplies.

Each character’s

inventory is lim-

ited, so think

carefully before

taking an item.

If you want to

discard an item,

just pick an item

from the inventory

and discard it anywhere in the game window. The char-

acter will discard the item and free up a place in the

inventory.

Manipulating enemy bodiesWhen an enemy guard finds a dead colleague, he will

immediately start looking for the intruder. Therefore

19

Sometimes a character will give up opening the door

saying that a key or other tool is needed but not in

his possession. In this case you must first get the

suitable key, tool etc. and put it in the character’s

hand. Then the door can be opened.

Some doors, gates or doorways can only be opened by a

special mechanism. For instance hangar gates cannot be

opened by men alone. A left mouse click on the special

mechanism will open the gate in this case.

Places to hide and secret passagesOutdoors, you can use the terrain to hide your charac-

ter, for instance large stones, containers, chests and

other objects, cars etc.

A very useful place to hide is the back platform of a

transport vehicle. A number of such cars may be parked

in the area without being used by the enemy.

The active character will hide in the vehicle by hold-

ing ‘CTRL’ and right mouse clicking on the vehicle.

Indoors, it is much more difficult to hide from an

enemy guard but it is still possible. Some closets or

cases are large enough to hide in.

Right mouse click on the closet and you will see if

the character is able to hide there.

This picture shows a

military engineer

jumping on the back

platform of a vehicle.

A secret passage can

be a tunnel or city

sewage system. Your

character enters the

underground area by

right mouse click with

cursor on the under-

ground entrance.

18

Examining suspicious areasSometimes the terrain surrounding your character looks

nice but beware of minefields. Put the mine locator

into your military engineer’s hands and point the cur-

sor on the suspicious area. A left mouse click gives

the order to examine the area.

The military engineer will examine the area you have

defined and if mines are present, they will be high-

lighted.

Use a knife to deactivate mines that you have found. You

may use them later if you put them in the inventory.

Tactical modeSome actions can be carried out much easier using the

tactical mode.

The game can be paused at any time by pressing the

‘SPACE’ bar so you have the opportunity to carefully

think ahead without hassle.

Giving ordersWith a left mouse click, drag an order icon from the

cartridge to the place in the mission where you want

the soldier to carry out the order or the sequence of

orders.

If you want to change the sequence of orders, drag the

order icon to the trashcan icon with a left mouse

click. This will erase the order.

Cartridge of ordersIcons in cartridge are symbols for particular orders

that can be given to your men in tactical mode.

Timer iconsPutting this icon into sequence will tell the soldier

how long he should wait until he carries out further

steps of the sequence.,

21

it is essential to hide any enemy bodies where they

cannot be found so easily.

All commando members, except the medic and sniper, can

carry enemy bodies.

Point the cursor on the body and hold the ‘CTRL’ key.

Right mouse click and the character will go to the

body, pick it up and carry it to where you would like

to hide it.

Hiding dead enemies is

highly recommended. Do

not forget that sedated

enemies can be carried

as well.

The body will be laid

down by right clicking

the mouse button on the

place where you want to

leave it.

Remember that bodies are

heavy to carry, and

therefore your character

cannot run.

LuresSome items are very useful because enemy soldiers will

immediately react after spotting them. Your characters

can lure enemies into a trap or distract their atten-

tion.

For instance, coins or a magazine must be seen by the

enemy, but the noise of an explosion will attract many

enemies.

Put the item into the character’s hand and right mouse

click the place where the item should be thrown.

Do not forget that some officers ignore lures such as

coins or men’s magazines, however a Red book might

interest them.

20

Once the soldier has carried out all of the orders

contained on the first sign, he will move to the sec-

ond sign and carry out orders contained here etc.

Expected progress is visually indicated between marks

and accurate movement can be defined by moving and

placing marks for you soldier.

Aborting and changing a previously planned sequenceOnce signs are placed and orders are assigned to each

sign, you can repeatedly press the “SPACE” bar key,

the game will continue. Your men will start to carry

out orders.

You might want to change a previously planned

sequence.

Press the “SPACE” bar key to pause the game again.

Signs that have already been used disappear and you

see the actual situation. Now you can plan the

sequence again.

Characters in the gameIn this game, you are commander of a special force

commando. You lead soldiers from elite forces, trained

to carry out tasks behind enemy lines.

All commando members are best equipped and trained to

fulfill special tasks and the mission’s objectives. In

the following sections are descriptions of each char-

acter that is a member of the commando, including

their ability and characteristics.

Remember that a good commander knows his soldier’s

ability very well.

Main charactersRanger Benjamin Jacob GoodloverRanger cannot be every soldier. But if you meet him,

you will immediately think that he can. He is a tall,

respectful person.

23

Position iconThis particular icon tells the soldier which position

he should take.

Aim target iconAttack symbol. If you use this icon and put it into a

planned sequence, the cursor will change to an aim

icon and you can choose the target with a right mouse

click.

An order to attack can be executed by directly drag-

ging the aim icon from the cartridge to the target or

just by clicking on the enemy soldier. An order to

attack will be inserted into the sequence after the

last edited mark.

Behavior mode iconUsing this icon will change soldier’s behavior to

either aggressive or normal.

Trashcan iconYou can throw away useless parts of the sequence.

SignsWhen pressing the “SPACE” bar, the game will pause and

you can use the tactical mode.

The game screen will show a sign marking the starting

position of every member of the commando.

Point the cursor on any sign and hold the left mouse

button; by dragging the mouse, you can move the sign.

A mark can be deleted by simply dragging the sign to

the trashcan icon.

Pressing the “SPACE” bar key again will allow you to

resume the game. Soldiers whose signs have been moved

will run to these signs and if these signs contain any

of the icons from the cartridge, the soldier will

start to carry out the planned sequence of orders.

By left mouse clicking on a reachable position, you

will indicate the next point to reach.

22

Nighthawk is a Native American.

His place and date of birth is unknown.

His appearance is unforgettable with sharp

eyes and rough, dark skin. Many of his

comrades avoid his company, maybe because

of his habits. Like his ancestors, he has

inherited a close relationship to nature

and the instinct of a superb hunter.

He moves quietly and behaves like an animal in nature.

Nighthawk can overturn a dangerous situation with just

one shot.

Military engineer Connor McGregorHe wears a scarf around his neck, along with numerous

wires, and explosives, and he is able to explode any-

thing, even bridges, tunnels or steel doors.

With his mine locator he is able to find a safe pas-

sage across mine fields, open closed warehouses, hide

explosives in enemy vehicles’ engines or in crates

that might look interesting to the enemy.

The military engineer is an expert on explosives and

their use, but he is also a great soldier. He is able

to use a number of essential weapons.

McGregor is Australian.

He was born in Sweetwater, April 15, 1916.

As a young boy, he started to work in

mines where he learned to use explosives.

When the mines closed, he joined the army.

Here he could work with explosives again

and learn new techniques.

He wears his bush hat and his sense of

humor contrasts with the dangerous situations in which

he often finds himself.

McGregor still has both arms and legs so he must be

very good at handling explosives.

25

He carries a pistol, grenades, a big knife, and is

able to kill enemy soldiers within a second.

Ranger’s favorite activity is using any available

weapon, and he is the best for that.

Benjamin often smiles, but his smile does

not mean anything nice. Before he joined

the army, he used to work in a slaughter-

house, and he behaves like he still does.

He was born in 1921 in the Bronx, New

York. Because of poor living conditions in

an Afro-American ghetto, where his only

happiness was found in a street boxing

club, he decided to change his life and joined the

army. He got his first army experience in the Second

World War, fighting against the Japanese in the

Pacific, now he is in Korea to show that he is still

capable of supporting his comrades all the way.

”B.J.”, as his comrades often call him, can be trusted

for strong commando support.

Sniper NighthawkHe still carries his Sniper gun, which may be equipped

with infrared binoculars. Under his cloak he carries a

pistol with a silencer.

His task is not to directly engage in battle but to

defend and cover his comrades or clear the way from a

safe distance.

He is not specialized in a lot of different things,

but nevertheless he is an indispensable member of the

commando.

His sharp shooting can affect the outcome of the whole

operation.

Sniper is the only one who is able to use sniper guns

and equipment, he undertook Special Forces training in

this area. He is able to defend his comrades from a

number of places.

24

to the commando.

They can dress like enemy soldiers and get to places

where other commando members must use weapons. They

know the martial art taekwon-do and fight for the

freedom of their country.

Kim Yoon-Soo.

Since the beginning of the Korean War, Kim

joined a guerilla group and fought against

the enemy in the mountains. However his

group fell into a trap where all of his

comrades died, only he survived. Wounded,

he then walked 40 kilometers until he

crossed the front line where allied sol-

diers helped him to get to a hospital.

When he got his health back, Kim received a medal for

bravery and decided to join the army again and contin-

ue the battle for freedom. His nickname is “Kato”.

AlliesDuring the game, you will encounter a number of dif-

ferent allied troops and soldiers who will help you in

your fight against the enemy.

Allied soldiers can join the commando directly or can

only give helpful suggestions.

Investigate their characteristics and use their abili-

ties as much as you can.

EnemiesUsual enemy behaviorEnemies usually stay at their positions, guarding par-

ticular areas. If they are in danger or have wind of

suspicious activity, they guard much more carefully or

investigate areas that they think might be used by

allied troops or commandos.

Enemy structureThe enemy army is very big and full of ranks.

To make it easier, we recognize soldiers, officers and

27

Medic Sarah ParkerAll commando members are happy to have a woman in the

commando. For instance McGregor stated that he would

only let a woman treat his wounds in a battle.

Seeing that the UN force has a number of professional

women soldiers, the choice was not easy. However,

medic Sarah Parker was chosen among them all and has

since become a respected member of the commando. She

is able to heal many different kinds of wounds, for

instance falling from a high place to the ground, gas

poisoning. Her medical kit has all kinds of medical

supplies, including hypodermic needles or chloroform

to be used on the enemy.

Sarah, nicknamed “Honey Bear”, is

American.

She is a very professional nurse who

worked in a MASH troop before she joined

the Commando.

Since the very beginning of the program

selection whose purpose was to select the

best nurse for the commando, it was clear

that she would be the one to join the elite force

since she was able to fulfill the most dangerous

objectives.

Her nickname is quite ironic because she does not

allow any men to have a relationship with her.

Especially since the time her comrade Clint Westwood

tried to have a date with her and woke up naked in the

middle of the camp, tied to a pole with his trousers

on top.

When her comrade is wounded in battle, she runs through

bullets to help him as soon as possible. “Honey Bear”

is also doing this to show the world that women are

capable of doing the same things that men do.

Korean specialist Kim Yoon-SooOnly a Korean himself can move in North Korean terri-

tory without fearing that he will be recognized as an

enemy soldier.

Only the very best of them are selected and assigned

26

Visibility of enemyIf you enter the enemy’s visibility field you still

have a short period of time to escape before the enemy

finds out who you are.

Line showing the direction of visibility is color

divided into three sections.

In the lightest colored section you should not be rec-

ognized, however as you move closer to the enemy, he

will see that you are an intruder and his reaction

will be very quick.

If the enemy becomes suspicious, the blue line changes

to red and their reactions are much quicker. The sta-

tus can later change back to blue, however sometimes

it remains red until the end of the game.

Enemy armamentsIs various.

You can expect enemies to attack without any weapons

in hand-to-hand combat or using martial arts, as well

as enemies who shoot weapons and throw grenades.

Some of the most dangerous enemies include enemy

snipers. With their binoculars and sniper guns they

are able to find you and kill you from a large dis-

tance.

Weapons which enemy soldiers may use include heavy

machine guns which cannot be moved easily and which

guard important roads and strategic locations where

the enemy is awaiting possible attack.

Set off alarmWhen the enemy sees you, he may wait a moment and then

trigger an alarm.

This can also happen when an enemy guard finds one of

his dead colleagues or an unconscious comrade. For a

while, the enemy will try to find the intruder, after

a while they will return to a regular patrol session

29

Soviet advisors/officers. Moreover, there are workers

and technical staff.

Workers usual do their work and are not interested in

what happens around them, but if they spot your com-

mando member, they run away and bring enemy guards,

however some of them are equipped with guns, if they

spot your commando member, they will throw their work

down and try to shoot your soldier dead.

Ordinary soldiers can be killed quite easily, however

pay attention because they are equipped with different

kinds of weapons, sometimes with a machine gun, which

is extremely dangerous causing bad wounds or even

death.

Officers often carry only a gun but they can whistle

for immediate help. If an officer spots your commando

member, he cannot only call for help, but he can also

trigger an alarm that means that the mission failed.

Soviet advisors are the most dangerous enemies that

you will meet. These military veterans of many previ-

ous conflicts command not only ordinary soldiers but

also enemy officers. Soviet advisors are sometimes

mission’s objectives.

Kill them as quickly as possible because if they find

out that you are close to them, there will be a hunt

for the commando.

Enemy officer gives

orders to soldier.

28

A vehicle can only carry a driver, a co-driver and two

additional comrades inside. If more soldiers need to

be driven, they must jump on the back platform.

The order to jump on the back platform will be given

by holding the ‘CTRL’ key and a left mouse click on

the selected vehicle.

Enemy reactionsYou can run over enemy soldiers but their comrades

will react as if being attacked. They may even shoot

your vehicle to pieces.

Enemy soldiers can see into the vehicle and therefore

if your Korean comrade is not driving, the enemy can

recognize you and trigger an alarm or start shooting.

If the vehicle is driven by an enemy soldier who sees

you, he can stop, get out of the vehicle and start

shooting or react according to the situation.

If you lay an enemy body across the road, the enemy

driver will stop and get out of the vehicle to see

what happened.

Weapons and items in the gameGenerally, weapons are used in following way. You put

the gun into an active character’s hand and by right

mouse clicking on a target you give the order to

shoot.

If you are using a throwing weapon or shooting weapon,

a sighting sign will be shown, stating the expected

chances of hitting the target. The closer you are the

better the chance to hit. If you change positions to a

lower one, your chances will be better because you are

more stable and also the chances of being hit by the

enemy decrease.

Notice: with all ammunition you can see two numbers.

The first - number of magazines, the second - total

amount of bullets.

31

however they will be more careful than before.

An alarm can be set off by inadequate activity as

well, for instance by causing a premature explosion,

etc.

Vehicles in the gameEnemies can use a variety of vehicles and you can use

them as well if you capture the particular vehicle.

Destroying vehiclesMost vehicles can be destroyed by a mine or by firing

certain guns. Automatic guns will have an effect on

Jeeps but not on a tank. Only a bazooka gun will work

on a tank.

Most vehicles can even be destroyed by reckless driv-

ing, for example by hitting a wall or a pole.

Driving vehiclesYour character gets into the vehicle when you point

the cursor on the vehicle and left mouse click. If the

character is inside the vehicle and is able to drive,

then his hand icon will change to a driver icon.

Using vehicles is some-

times the key to success

A mouse click on the

character’s portrait

will start the vehicle

engine and you have con-

trol over the vehicle.

Using timed explosivesThe military engineer is the only one who can install

and activate explosives. He is equipped with two kinds

of explosives, timed explosives and remote controlled

explosives.

A timed explosive can be installed by putting it into

the military engineer’s hands and right mouse clicking

on the desired place to put the explosive. If this is

the mission’s objective it will be announced by the

game. The explosive can be used anywhere.

The military engineer will install the explosive and

three possibilities of setting the time control will

appear on the screen.

The timer can be set for 60, 40 or 20 seconds.

Right mouse click on desired time in order for the

military engineer to set up the time control.

Immediately after the setting up, get out of range of

the explosion, otherwise you will get hurt or even

killed.

Using remote controlled explosivesThe set up is the same as above, however the explosion

itself will go off later, with a left mouse click on

the detonator icon, at a safe distance from the explo-

sion and hidden from enemies.

The military engineer

placed the explosive on

one of the containers.

The icon in the upper

part of the screen

serves for the ignition.

Using remote controlled

explosives is much more

comfortable however they

are not always available

when you need them.
