Rest for 50 minutes and for no loss of food your strength is restored by a few points. This restores all of your remaining men to 99 percent. Keeping up your men’s strength and morale is vital. Giving your men 50 minutes rest a night, or during the day when it’s too dark to carry on, will slam your energy and morale levels to max. Even if you don’t have much food, you don’t have to worry, as your men will not eat it.
On reaching the first village (the first white cross on the map), search the area to find a hole in the ground where the villagers appear to be hiding. You then have two options: ENTER TUNNEL or USE GRENADES. Gomez is useful at this point, but if he is dead, go for the USE GRENADES option.
Start off questioning the villagers normally by aking them “Where VC?” Once you have an answer, start the hard questioning, or a village boy will get hold of a gun and shoot one of your men.
