Back To Page 1 Plan and Execute an Assault Remember what I said in the introduction of this briefing — using available intel then good map reading skills are the first two and most important things to know.

Back To Page 3 Conclusion Considering that the governor of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua gave a general order last month to seize all copies of GRAW 2, stating that it instills poor values and depicts his people as being overly violent, you can guess that at least one segment of the populace isn’t […]
Back To Page 1 Having played through the campaign in all three difficulty levels, I can say with a certain amount of authority that there is very little reason to play on the easiest setting.

It was then announced that Atari had picked up the rights to publish the U.S. version, known as Armed Assault: Combat Operations. The U.S. version will be released tomorrow […]
Back To Page 4 Non-Mutual Non-mutual is when the front team is moving forward and they spot the enemy patrol but the enemy patrol has not spotted them. They immediately go prone to not be seen. One member can stay in the sight of the enemy for Intel, while the rest of the team […]
