At the beginning of the level, get all the ammunition in the weapons room (to your left at the very start). Then, move on to the Major. When he tells you to go to the bunkers, take Ragman and the Doc and crouch down next to the Major. Then, take Junior and put him in the first bunker to your right and up the stairs. Then, take Hoss and put him in the next bunker down. Whenever someone dies, the Doc will heal them.
After you kill all the NVA around the southern perimeter, follow the major to the northern perimeter and defend. Do not stay around the major; artillery will fall around your position and kill you. Instead, you will see the Vietnamese coming
from three paths. Go in those paths and kill all the Vietnamese, then just keep running around the area killing them. The artillery will not hit you. Also watch out for Vietnamese with RPG-7v; they will fire and kill your squad.
After you get off the helicopter, you will start as Ragman. Face left and go into the bunker. After stocking up on ammunition and weapons, walk to the comms bunker. You will hear a man speaking on a radio. Go around the bunker, and there will be a black soldier. Talk to him and follow the orders he gives you. After you help Major Wallace, you will have to defend the northern perimeter. The NVA will be overrunning the base and attack through three different paths connected by one path that runs behind the other three. There will be mortar fire falling around Major Wallace. Do not worry; he cannot die. Run up one of the three paths and kill any Viet Cong that you see. Move around a lot, as there will be Viet Cong soldiers with rocket-launchers running around.
1st Air Cav mission: Use mortar launcher
After you hold off the first attack from the Viet Cong, your next objective instructs you to go back to the starting point of the mission to defend another attack from the VCs. When you reach the open area where your squad started, look to the left. You should see a mortar launcher ready to use. Have Ragman and either Doc or Hoss use it. It requires two people to use (one fires and the other aims). Start shooting towards the openings that VCs come from and start firing. You may not seem to hit anything, but should notice that less VCs come from the entrances once you start firing. Keep this up until the mission ends or the mortar gets destroyed. Note: The mortar does not have unlimited ammunition; use it wisely.
Bad Moon mission
When reach the part where there are two bunkers, hold your squad before you reach the field. Then, take one man and move him behind one of the first boulders. Do this to the rest of the squad then move up. Next, throw smoke
grenades so they cannot see you. While the smoke is still there, throw bombs into both of the bunkers. More VC soldiers will enter the bunkers; hurry and move up to the right to the next battle.

Ghost Town mission: Shooting chickens
In the middle of the village, there are a group of chickens. If you shoot them with a shotgun (or any gun), they will explode. The others will squawk and fly a few feet.
Recommended squad equipment setup
Ragman: Any type of submachine gun, any machine gun (backup machine gun for Hoss), or rocket launcher (for Hoss to use if you need to take out a tank because he cannot hold a rocket launcher and a machine gun at the same time), or a shotgun.
Junior: Any sniper rifle, M79 grenade launcher, pistol.
Hoss: Any machine gun, a submachine gun or an assault rifle (backup weapon), pistol.
Cherry/Doc: Any assault rifle or submachine gun, any machine gun (backup machine gun for Hoss) or a rocket launcher (for Hoss).
The Sacred Statue mission: Keep H'done out of danger
Leave all squad members where they are when you begin the mission. Just take one member and go to the gate and talk to H'done so that she will lead the way into the jungle. When she says "Try to keep up the path leads this way!", she will stop and a message will appear telling you to rally your squad with H'done before she continues. Ignore the message and keep following the path until you reach the first booby trap on the path. Tell you squad to fall in. H'done will still not continue when the other squadmates arrive. Then, just continue with the mission as usual, and do not go back to retrieve H'done. When you reach the temple gate, H'done will suddenly appear behind you as if she followed you the whole way. She will unlock the gate and you will not have to protect her any longer. If you get lost in the jungle without H'done, go to the objectives menu and use the map to find your way.
