Your unit is at a rural location in Vietnam. The mission: Fight the local guerillas to secure the nearby air base and hold it for as long as you can. The enemy will attack you in waves of 10 - 40 men. Be alert!
This series has a TON of diehard fan-boys, which is ridiculous. The game-play itself, while visceral and unique, it murderously unforgiving and unfair.
You WILL eventually get wiped out due to well placed bombings and such from enemies you have no defense against.
I like the IDEA of this series, but it needs to be cranked back a bit in the UNFAIR department.
have to agree with bdj lots of men but the area they all stand in could be covered by a pin head. bad move mechanics as you have to try to select each man separately. the leader could be just about any of the tiny combatants and while there could be any form of unit in the group it is almost impossible to distinguish one from another. almost got my radio man killed as he moved as I was trying to find some info about him and the rest of the troop. this game could be good if the men where big enough to be able to tell what they are and also see what they can see.
if they are supposed to be in the jungle they are very vulnerable as a few shots kills them. and it takes a man to be shot for the enemy to be seen, regardless of the ability of the soldier involved. high recon ability seems to be a statement only in this game. if the guy has high recon and has a few stripes it is probably a good bet he is supposed to have some form of equipment to help with locating the enemy a bit easier.., like binoculars.
1/5 due to the size and movement problems. it could be as high as 4/5 with the problems sorted.
