COMMANDOS CAMPAIGN
BRIEFING
A number of unorthodox military operations have been detailed to respond to the Nazi threat that has cast a dark menacing cloud over Europe. The formation of the first Commandos regiments has been sanctioned to defeat this seemingly invincible Nazi army. The Commandos raison d’être is deploying smaller groups of Special Forces
to infiltrate, gather intelligence, engage in sabotage and harass the enemy deep behind their lines.
You control a Commandos strike force unit. Your incursions will take you into France, Norway and Russia with three elite Commando corps members — Colonel George Brown (Spy), Captain Francis O’Brien (Green Beret) and Lieutenant William Hawkins (Sniper) — at your disposal. You have a full arsenal of weapons, and each of your men possesses a series of special actions and skills. You must switch between these Commandos to adapt to all stealth and combat situations.
The missions that lie ahead will challenge you and your unit to the limit. You must:
Assault and defend strategic positions.
Sabotage enemy installations.
Support allied troops in their own operations.
Good luck!
