1. OHM's Introduction:
----------------------
Hello, still remember me?! Hopefully you have enjoyed reading all my previous
FAQs on this great site. I'm so sorry because I have spent more time on
studies. So, I have no time to play games and writing FAQs. Now, mid-semester
break, so, I think that's good for me to spend a little time to answer the
questions and writing other FAQ.
This is my second FAQs for FPS game after Codename: Outbreak. Valusoft is a
new company in PC Gaming World. So, that's not fair to complain them for their
poor quality of game. For me, the sound track of the game is nice. Although
the graphic is like year 1998 FPS Games, static AI and block looking hills and
caves. But, Valusoft just tries their best. Maybe in next 3-4 years, they can
upgrade their technology and become among the best games developer in PC
Gaming World.
I hope you enjoy reading this FAQ. If there is any grammatical mistake, please
forgive me, and if you have any suggestion please not to shy to mail me. You
will get a credit. This I promise you.

- MISSION FACTS -
-------------------------------------------------------
- Tarawa Atoll -
- November 1943 -
- -
- In September of 1943 at a conference in Hawaii, -
- operation Galvanic was approved and the stage set -
- for the invasion of the Gilbert Islands. The -
- first of the Pacific 'island hopping' operations -
- was about to begin. -
- -
- The first Marine landings took place landings -
- took place at Betio island, part of Tarawa Atoll, -
- on November 20th. Tarawa was the most heavily -
- defended atoll that would ever be invaded by -
- allied forces in the Pacific, and Betio, with the -
- possible exception of Iwo Jima, was better -
- protected against a landing force than any beach -
- encountered in any theatre throughout World War II. -
- -
- Rear Admiral Keiji Shibasaki, commander of the -
- Japanese forces on Betio Island, boasted "The -
- Americans could not take Tarawa with a million -
- men in a hundred years." Though the cost was -
- grave, the Americans would prove him wrong. -
-------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1: Assault on Tarawa
----------------------------
--------------
- Objective: -
-------------------------------------------------------
- The Marine divisions that landed on Betio's Red -
- beach yesterday suffered heavy casualties and are -
- running low on supplies. Take out the bunker on -
- Green beach and make your way to the airfield. -
-------------------------------------------------------
The game started at the scenery of Green Beach. From there, kindly eliminate
all Japs there while making your way across to the bunker on the right. After
seeing the bunker, depart your way in and make sure you watch out for machine
gunners that are flooding the scene. To make it easier, just follow the map
below:
It's a simple mission, so in order to finish it, just climb up the stairs and
meet the ally soldiers on the airfield upstairs.

- Squad Status -
-----------------------------------------------------
- Cpl Harry L. Wright - Alive -
- Pvt Perry T. Lawson - Alive -
- -
- Your success in securing green beach means we can -
- now land much needed supplies on Betio without -
- opposition. Good work, Marine. -
-----------------------------------------------------
Mission 2: Buariki Island
-------------------------
--------------
- Objective: -
-----------------------------------------------------
- Part of the Japanese contingent at Tarawa has -
- retreated across the across the atoll and is now -
- trapped on Buariki. Take 3 squad members clear -
- the resistance from the island. -
-----------------------------------------------------
It's a straight clean-and-sweep mission; just eradicate all AIs that don't
match your character, both on the field and in the bunker. There are also
enemies on the bridge to your right, so make yourself comfortable and shoot to
kill, gentlemen. After all enemies down, make your way towards the boat. Or
you can be a yellowbelly and run for your life, that is if you manage to
escape the gunners. And yes, it's a dare, gamers.

- MISSION FACTS -
-----------------------------------------------------
- The Marshall Islands -
- January - February 1944 -
- -
- With the Marshall Islands campaign of early 1944 -
- the Allies moved into Japanese territory for the -
- first time. -
- -
- Under Japanese control since World War I, the -
- Marshalls would make ideal forward bases in the -
- battle to reclaim the Pacific. -
- -
- The Primary Japanese stronghold in the Marshalls -
- was on Kwajalein Atoll, defended by nearly 5000 -
- Japanese troops. -
- -
- The assault of Kwajalein would turn out to be the -
- most perfectly executed island assault of the war,-
- with the Marines taking only light casualties -
- compared to the nearly complete loss of the -
- defending garrison. -
-----------------------------------------------------
--------------
- Objective: -
-----------------------------------------------------
- Numerous heavy machine gun positions are keeping -
- our forces pinned down just off the beach. Take 3 -
- of your squad and eliminate these positions. -
-----------------------------------------------------
Picture this, it's field full of bunkers and in those bunkers are bloodthirsty
(not really!) gunners. There are also some of them moving around the field.
You can find sanctuary behind empty bunkers. Well, again, just trash everybody
except allies while making a move towards the cave behind the beach. Simple,
ain't it?

-----------------------------------------------------
- Two of your squad was captured this morning while -
- laying mines behind Japanese lines. Finish their -
- work laying mines in the large field on your way -
- to rescue them and then return to the insertion -
- point. -
-----------------------------------------------------
From the starting point, make your way to the POW camp. Still, it'll be no
adventure if there's no trick. Beat the hell out of your enemy. Just follow
the map below:
The first thing you'd have to do is save the two mates (the POW, dum dum).
Then, be in motion to the right path which is right and you'll find yourself a
small bunker. You'll notice that from the bunker, a troop of Japanese soldiers
will fry your narrow behind from below. By this time, it'll be better for you
to use your bazooka with the intention of killing every Japs on sight. After
you do that, climb down the hill and proceed back to the starting point.

- control. -
- -
- On July 24th, the 4th Marine division crossed -

- -
- On February 19th, 4th and 5th division Marines -

- Even before its capture was complete, Iwo Jima -
- became an invaluable emergency landing field for -
- planes returning from raids on Japan. By the end -

7. OHM's Notes on Weapon Usage:
-------------------------------
Throwing Grenades
-----------------
Grenades can be thrown varying distances using the "Throw Grenade" key, which
is set to Q by default. When you press the "Throw Grenade" button, the
grenade is readied. The grenade is not thrown, however, until you release the
"Throw Grenade" key. The longer you hold this key down, the further the
grenade will be thrown. With a little practice, you should be able to throw
grenades with a fair amount of accuracy.
Weapon Availability
-------------------
During the course of the game, not all weapons are available at all times.
Which weapons are available depends on the mission objectives and the time
frame in which the mission is supposed to take place. For instance, the
earlier missions take place on Tarawa beach only shortly after the M3 "Grease
Gun" entered into regular service with the US Military.
Ammunition
----------
You cannot pickup or use enemy ammunition! Enemy forces used munitions that
were incompatible with the weapons you have, so you should be careful with the
ammunition that you start a mission with.
8. OHM's Four Possible Squad Commands:
--------------------------------------
Follow
------
This command is very simple. It instructs the selected squad member to follow
you. This is a squad member's default action.
Guard
-----
This command allows you to instruct a squad member to move to a certain
position and wait there. While at the position, the squad member will attack
any enemies he encounters. When you have the Guard command selected in the
squad interface a cursor will appear on the ground in front of you. Move your
view until the cursor is over the terrain you want the squad member to guard
and then use Squad Select to issue the command to guard that area. Note that
the squad member will try to take up a position near the area you selected and
not necessarily the exact location that you chose.
It is also possible that a squad member will refuse your command, either
because he couldn't find a path to that location or there were now acceptable
cover points for him to use.
Attack
------
The Attack command allows you to instruct a squad member to concentrate fire
on a particular target. When the Attack command is selected in the squad
interface a cursor will appear on the ground in front of you, just as when the
Guard command is selected. When using the attack command, however, you can
also select enemy soldiers as targets. If you select an area rather than an
enemy you squad member will try to find an enemy close to the position you
selected and attack him.
Squad members may refuse an Attack command for the same reasons as a Guard
command. In addition, they may decide that they cannot attack a particular
target, either because it is out of range, unreachable or they don't have the
equipment to destroy it.
When you issue the Attack command to a squad member, he will try to move to
the location or enemy you specified. One he kills the enemy or has no more
enemies in sight, he will automatically return to follow mode.
Cancel
------
The Cancel command simply allows you to back out of the command interface
without issuing a command, should you change your mind or the situation on the
battlefield changes before you can issue your command.
In addition to selecting Cancel, you can wait for the menu to time out after a
few seconds and return to the top level of the squad interface.
