the single player missions up to mission two as well as their bonus
missions. (Version 1.0)

Yuri's Revenge as well as working on the walkthrough. Finished missions

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Introduction
Finally!!! After waiting forever for this game to be released, it is
finally here. Oh well, what is there to say anymore? Since I wrote the
walkthrough for Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty and I have been
getting many emails thanking me for my effort, I decided to write the
walkthrough for Commandos 2: Men of Courage as well to help those
people out there. So I hope my effort will be able to help anyone out
there who finds difficulties in this game. Believe me, it is not easy,
so prepare for a long journey through the night...
Please note that I'm very busy with schoolwork (I'm a grade 11 student)
and updates may be very slow. I will try to update as often as I can
but they will only come during weekends. This is my first FAQ so I hope
you will forgive me on any mistakes and errors. If you have any
critics, suggestions, comments and things to add, don't hesitate to
email me at varkovsky@hotmail.com.
One more thing, this FAQ is protected by the international Copyright
Law so if there's anyone who wants to post this FAQ in his or her site,
YOU HAVE TO LET ME KNOW FIRST!!! I've heard many stories about people
plagiarizing other people's FAQ to make money and believe me, writing
FAQ is not easy and to you know how it feels if your hard work is used
by other people. So for all plagiarizers out there, be warned that if
you do anything to my FAQ, I SWEAR THAT I WON'T LET YOU OFF THAT
EASILY!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Game Overview
Basically, Commandos 2: Men of Courage is the sequel to the best-
selling Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and its expansion pack,
Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty.
The commandos are back again with three new members who are the thief,
the seductress and the dog. What's even more is that they not only have
to try to hamper the German war efforts like before but they also get
to travel to Asian Pacific to fight the Japanese.
The game is consisted of 10 missions in total. Not only that, each
mission also have a bonus mission which will prolong the playing hours.
The two training missions also proved to be quite a challenge for
beginners as well as some refreshment for those who played the original
Commandos before. What else can I say? Enjoy!!! :)

It should destroy most objects and any soldiers nearby. Be careful
though as this includes your men.
Extreme Cold
Keep your men safe in the harsh weather. The low temperatures of the
Arctic missions can kill all of your men. If any of your commandos are
outside then their STAMINA BAR will begin to go down. If it reaches
zero then their LIFE BAR will begin to decrease. It can be avoided

soldier. Remember that the enemy suits can only be used for a limited
period of time. Be careful.
