STRATEGIES
Enemy Mines
Pick up the crates in the camp area. Press F1 to order the squad to follow Sarge, and
travel directly east. Eliminate the first rifleman you come across standing on top of a
butte plateau. Put your troops on defend and walk through the mine shaft in this area
and kill the grenadier on the other side. Pick up the autorifle and the grenade box. Then,
go back out of the mine and head south until you find another mine. Drop anything you may
have in slot #3 (you should have explosives), and go inside. You will find a mine sweeper.
Select the sweeper, and head south, and then east, and then north through a minefield. When
you see the Blue Spy, switch to your rifle and start firing. A Tan flamethrower will charge
you so make sure to kill him. Then, kill the spy and get his note.
Ghost Train
After grabbing the note, quickly head into the Tan camp and grab the health power up
before going back around to the mine where you found the sweeper. Drop the sweeper,
and pick up the explosives you had left there and head north west to the train bridge. Use
an explosive or a bazooka to destroy the train bridge in the northwest corner of the map.
Then go to the mine in sector F,2 and collect a flame thrower. Go to the train station and
clean out the train station of all Tan. You will want to approach from the East and kill the
first Tan Bazookaman who appears as you get to the station. After killing all the other
soldiers, find the Tan soldier in sector C,1. He has the key, but he is surrounded by
mines. First, shoot him, then get the Minesweeper to clear the mines. Collect the key to
win.
