dwh 10 Posted October 10, 2013 A possibly dumb question but I have wasted hours and been courtmartialled every time! You take the windmill, get binoculars, find the mortars - how the Jack Daniels do you commuinicate the co-ordinates to base for the artillery fire? Or is it automated and its just I am standing in the wrong spot?? Thanks - otherwise a great game imho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander 14 Posted October 10, 2013 Hi, You have to use the binoculars in order to identify the mortars. This is done by looking at the targets with the binoculaurs and then proceeding to right click with the mouse. This mouse button action will reveal the object one is looking at, thereby triggering the bombardment. It may take a couple of clicks to achieve the result, but a radio message will follow and rounds will start to come in to annihilate the Soviet position. The game is indeed great. The campaign has some bugs, but overall it will deliver tense action and a varied experience. Regards, Sander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Sander Thanks for that - I don't feel so dumb now- where on earth in the manual is there a clue that you need to do that???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander 14 Posted October 11, 2013 That might not actually be specified in any manual, but that is the method of identifying targets since OFP so it would come naturally for long term players of this series of games. It would indeed be difficult for a starting player to figure out on his/her own. The English manual was rather compacted, but the German one was much more extensive and useful (DL here).
