Squad leader tutorial mission

[Poseidon88 0]

I've tried to play through the squad leader tutorial mission several times, but every time I get to the part where I'm supposed to destroy the car, my squad members won't attack. I tell them to target the car, which they acknowledge, then the instructor tells me to have them attack, so I hit the keys to select all squad members, then order them to open fire. Nothing happens. They don't even acknowledge the order. I tried "Engage" with the same results.

Was this mission broken by a patch or something? I have no mods installed. All I did was install the game (US DVD version) and patch to 1.8.

Okay, I guess I figured it out. Here's what I did:

* Ordered them to target the car

* Ordered them to "engage at will" (nothing happened)

* Ordered them to danger mode (nothing)

* Ordered them to open fire (nothing)

* moved closer to the car

When I got within about 30m of the car, all of a sudden they started shooting.

So I guess it isn't broken, but it's not really intuitive. I'm still not sure what the correct sequence of orders is. The info in the manual doesn't seem to apply.
