   Prepare for the most realistic OFP experience ever....
  In this mission, you will control your squad in a radical new fashion. No more birds-eye views, no more intersquad radios. You will have to communicate to your troops the old fashion way: through hand signals and verbal means. Even today, this is still the main method used by squads to communicate (the main exception being well-equipped special forces). BE SURE TO READ THE 'NOTES' SECTION OF THE BRIEFING BEFORE PLAYING!!! You will have a tough time playing if you do not. It may take a little bit of time to get used to the controls, but they will become easier as you play the mission more.

Mega, super-ultra big thanks to Kueter and deaddog for lending me their voices!


--------------------MUSIC--------------------

   All music in this mission is used without permission. Below is a list of all the music used, where it is used, and who wrote it. Much of it is taken from movie soundtracks, in which case the movie is listed before the title. In all cases, the music used in the mission is only a portion of the entire song. In many cases I have done some minor editing to the song, such as adding more dramatic volume increases/decreases, extending certain portions via copy-paste, etc.

Event where it is used in the mission
       (movie title) - "Title"

--------------------SCRIPTING--------------------

   The vast majority of the scripting used in this mission is my own work, but I also used scripts and/or functions from the following authors:

toadlife
Vektorboson
Fishion
bn880
snYpir
Turok_GMT

Every script that is not mine will have the authors name commented in the beginning. Everything else is my own work, even if my name 
isn't on it.

You can de-PBO the mission to find out exactly where certain scripts were used, if you wish. I have modified some of these author's scripts to better suit my mission (it will say so in those scripts). Feel free to email me if you have questions about how certain things were done, and I would be glad to answer you.

You are of course welcome to use any of my scripts in your own missions. I only ask that you give me some credit, in the readme or elsewhere.


--------------------A NOTE ABOUT THE ECP--------------------

  I HIGHLY recommend you use the Enhanced Config Project (ECP) when playing this mission. It adds many elements that GREATLY increase the atmosphere (such as blood and bullet whiz sounds), and it will make your smoke grenades actually block the enemy's sight, among other things. However, due to a bug in OFP, if a mission is running too many scripts at one time, that mission's save file can be corrupted. I suggest turning off most of the ECP scripts when playing this mission. 
  If you don't have the ECP, you're missing out! Get it here:

--------------------OTHER STUFF BY ME--------------------

   Try my other highly-rated mission; "Platoon Commander". Grab it here:

Also, see more of my scripting work in Kueter's upcoming (as of 3/1704) mission; "D vs the Undead"! You can also find other scripts/functions by me at the editors depot: www.ofpec.com/editors

Mission editors: improve your editor upgrade! Unhide and organize all those objects with my editor upgrade. Best of all, it works with Kegetys'! Grab it here:
