Version History ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version 1.0 =========== -Walkthrough: Missions 1-6 Completed -Submitted: 30 October 2003 -Created: 12 June 2003 -File Size: 20kb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. Recruitment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Main Menu ========= On the Main Menu, you have few options. You have Save, Load and Play. That's it! At the top of the screen is your game "score". Home kills and Away Kills. Hopefully you can keep the Away Kills at 0. Home is how many enemy soldiers you have killed, and Away is how many of your troops have died in action. This will be displayed on the screen below also. Every time a member of your forces dies, his grave will appear on the hill. To the left is a Column with two sub sections - Heroes and Squad. Heroes is the men that have been KIA (Killed in Action), and Sqaud is your current gang of no-hopers. Beside each of their names is a symbol denoting their rank. As I'm not an expert on U.S. Military badges, I don't know what they mean, but if someone could link me to a website where I could find out... Main Menu Controls ================== A: Selects Option B: Nothing C: Nothing Start: Starts Next Level In-Game ======= The idea of Cannon Fodder is to wipe out the opposition without getting your men killed. This may sound easy enough, but one hit and you're dedeaded. That's pronounced di-ded-ed, btw, and is an AlaskaFox trademark phrase. You may also have to destroy buildings. To do this you will have to use Grenades or shoot barrels. The game is easy enough to get into, and once you're in it's pretty hard to get out of. (Like the Matrix, I suppose, but what is the Matrix?) In-Game Controls ================ A: Move soldiers to selected point B: Shoot gun (Use A+B together to fire grenades/rockets) C: Nothing Start: Pauses the game/selects menu Walkthrough Terms ================= Password: Before every Mission you're given a password. To see your current password, look at the Save screen. To start from a previous position, use the Load screen to enter old passwords. Briefing: What you have to do in the mission. It will always be either (or both) "Kill All Enemy"(sic) where you have to kill all the enemies or "Destroy Enemy Buildings" where you have to (you've guessed it) destroy all the enemy buildings. Squad: The members of your squad if you've suffered no casualties. The number in brackets is their rank. If a party member dies, he'll be replaced by someone else in the next battle. Recruits Remaining: How many recruits you have in reserve if some die (this is kind of your life counter) Walkthrough: A step-by-step guide to the mission/phase. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. Walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =================================== Mission 1 - The Sensible Initiation =================================== Password: None Phase 1 of 1 - It's A Jungle Out There -------------------------------------- Briefing: With 2 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Squad: Jools (1), Jops (1) Recruits Remaining: 13 Walkthrough: The easisest level in the game, as it's the first. Go up to the north-eastern corner of the map and kill the enemy soldier. Then proceed west and kill the other two. You should suffer no casualties on this level, if you do, maybe this isn't the game for you! ================================== Mission 2 - Onward Virgin Soldiers ================================== Password: UZHNC Phase 1 of 2 - Bridge Over The River Pie ---------------------------------------- Briefing: With 3 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Squad: Jools (2), Jops (2), Stoo (1) Recruits Remaining: 27 Walkthrough: Firstly, shoot the trooper swimming across to you. Go west and then south to wipe out three more soldiers. Continue west and kill two more soldiers. Return north, killing two soldiers to the west, and use the bridge to cross the water (swimming is too slow, and leaves you open to attack). Shoot the soldier at the other side and go west. There will be three soldiers here. Go along the northern track to proceed east. Kill the first group of two soldiers and then the second group of three. Mission Complete. Phase 2 of 2 - Trash Enemy HQ ----------------------------- Briefing: With 3 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (2), Jops (2), Stoo (1) Recruits Remaining: 27 Walkthrough: Immediately kill the two soldiers to the west. Then proceed west along the bottom shorline. You will encounter two soldiers, kill them and follow the shorline around the trees, killing a further two soldiers along the way. Kill the soldier across the river and continue west. When you reach the next bend, kill the two soldiers (to the west and south). Cross the river here and shoot the soldier swimming towards you. Cross the river again. You should now be on the south bank. Go west and shoot the two soldiers. Then go south from the river. Kill the two soldiers here, and go east. Shoot two soldiers along the way, and then five more guarding the base. Kill any soldiers that come out of the hut and destroy it by shooting the barrels. Stand a reasonable distance away, as the door and roof will blow off and can kill one or more of your soldiers. Shoot the three soldiers in the north-west and Mission Complete. =================================== Mission Three - Antarctic Adventure =================================== Password: JHHJI Phase 1 of 1 - Blast it's Cold ------------------------------ Briefing: With 4 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (4), Jops (4), Stoo (3), RJ (1) Recruits Remaining: 41 Walkthrough: For this level, the bar has been raised quite a bit. You will have to be much better not to be killed here. Go east, killing every soldier along the way (You can't destroy the huts yet). Jump off the side of the cliff and go down to the hut with the boxes outside. These boxes contain grenades which you will need to destroy the huts. You will need to collect all of these boxes to complete the level (or you can leave one and shoot it to blow up the hut). Fire a grenade at the hut or blow up a single box to destroy it. Go west, killing lots of soldiers in every direction and use the box beside the hut to destroy it. Go back past the first hut you destroyed and up the slope. Go around the south of the lake to avoid enemy fire and destroy the hut with a grenade. Shoot all the soldiers to the north and throw a grenade at the final hut to complete the level. =================================== Mission 4- Super Smashing Namtastic =================================== Password: OFLJA Phase 1 of 4 - Beachy Head -------------------------- Briefing: With 4 Soldiers You Must Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (5), Jops (5), Stoo (4), RJ (2) Recruits Remaining: 56 Walkthrough: Here you only need to destroy the huts, so don't go looking for a fight. Go to the south-east of the map. You should only have to kill one soldier along the way. Collect the box outside the hut to get some grenades. Kill the soldier to the north and then blow up the hut. Go north, kill the soldiers in the cul-de-sac if you want. Go north until you reach another hut, destroy it with a grenade. Cross the river to the east, shooting those who come your way. Continue east and blow up the hut with the box or a grenade. Go south along the riverbank, and then blow up the hut for mission complete. I should now point out that for a building to be considered destroyed the door must be blown off. This means that if only the roof is blown off, the building is not "destroyed". Phase 2 of 4 - Pier Pressure ---------------------------- Briefing: With 4 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (5), Jops (5), Stoo (4), RJ (2) Recruits Remaining: 56 Walkthrough: This one is pretty easy. Kill the soldiers coming across the water, and go to the east. Then go down along the pier until you reach the very end. Throw grenades at the hut until the door blows off, and kill whoever moves. That's it. Finished. Phase 3 of 4 - Village People ----------------------------- Briefing: With 5 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (5), Jops (5), Stoo (4), RJ (2), Ubik (2) Recruits Remaining: 55 Walkthrough: Go west until the junction, then south. Keep going south until you meet some natives. You don't need to kill they natives because they wont attack you, but if you do you'll get a cool death animation when they die. Go east until you reach the river (watch out for the guys to the north and the quicksand). Then after killing a few enimies cross the river to get the grenades and then go north for more grenades. Go south along the riverbank, and destroy thr hut. Go back the way you came (i.e. past the quicksand), and go over to the native huts. Destroy the one on the left with the door. Then go north to kill some soldiers, and return south to kill the final soldiers. Phase 4 of 4 - Quicksand ------------------------ Briefing: With 5 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (5), Jops (5), Stoo (4), RJ (2), Ubik (2) Recruits Remaining: 55 Walkthrough: Go north along the edge of the screen, avoiding the quicksand. After killing the soldiers, shoot the landmine to the right of the next quicksand. Kill the soldier and get the grenades. Then go up and around the quicksand. Watch out for the landmine and shoot the soldier. Go southwest and destroy the hut (P.S. avoid/blow up the landmine). Shoot the guys throwing the grenades and then go east and kill the guys in the sea. C'est tout! ================================= Mission 5 - Those Vicious Vikings ================================= Password: DNKFG Phase 1 of 3 - The Valley Of Ice -------------------------------- Briefing: With 3 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (9), Jops (9), Stoo (8) Recruits Remaining: 70 Walkthrough: Go west along the north bank, killing all the soldiers. When you reach the hut, cross the water where it's narrow and destroy it. Return across to the north bank again (where you crossed) and continue west. get the crate beside the hut and blow up the hut. Blow up the other hut and get the rockets (the battery looking thing). Cross the river south (the earlier the better), and go west towards the last 2 huts. Destroy them and kill the soldiers. Go further west and kill the soldiers with the rockets. Be careful here, as it is easy to be killed. So move quickly and keep firing. Phase 2 of 3 - Barmy Bazookas ----------------------------- Briefing: With 3 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (9), Jops (9), Stoo (8) Recruits Remaining: 70 Walkthrough: Go west and take out the soldier with the missile launcher and the hut. Then go south and kill the soldiers, and east to destroy the hut. Go south across the river to the island and across again onto the southern shore. Continue south and destroy the hut. Take the missiles from outside the other hut and go west. Take out the soldier, and go back a little and over the thin strip of ice to the north. Take out a few soldiers here (one with a missile launcher), and then go north to the top of the map. Swim across the river to the west and kill the soldier on the hill. Continue west, kill another soldier and also the other one on the hill. Go south where the river is very thin and down along the peninsula killing soldiers along the way. Some extra soldiers will come out of the hole in the ground so be careful. The next bit it one of the most difficult bits in the game, but you'll be okay as long as you keep moving. Go up around the trees killing everyone (especially the missile soldier) and then take out the hut for mission complete. Plase 3 of 3 - My Beautiful Skidoo ---------------------------------- Briefing: With 4 Soldiers You Must Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (9), Jops (9), Stoo (8), RJ (6) Recruits Remaining: 70 Walkthrough: Go south and destroy the hut, next go south-west and kill the soldier. Be sure not to hit the missiles as they are a great help for the level. Pick them up and go south to the intersection. Go south first and take out the soldier with the missile launcher. Return north and kill the lazy-looking soldier. Go south and kill the soldiers - watch out for soldiers swimming across the water, and a missile soldier on the other side of the river. You'll probably need to use a missile to take him out. Alternatively, you can go east and around the trees south avoiding the soldier altogether. Take out the hut guarded by barbed wire in the south-east. If you've killed all the soldiers on this side, get in the skidoo (the car thing), and go up around the trees to the east. Use it to get across the water to the other side by the jump (surrounded by gates). If you didn't kill the soldier earlier, this will! Once across go immediately south and drive over the soldier. Hehe! Drive over some more soldiers before getting out, and then destroy the hut to complete the mission. ====================== Mission 6 - Westward Ho ======================= Password: EZMBE (minus Jools, I'll try to get a full-strength password) Phase 1 of 2 - The Grand Canyon ------------------------------- Briefing: With 4 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (12), Jops (12), Stoo (11), RJ (7) Recruits Remaining: 85 Walkthrough: Go east killing soldiers (the usual routine now). Then south across the bridge (and another soldier). Fall off the ledge (to the south) and go west behind the depot. Kill the soldiers and destroy the hut. Go back along to the east (just south of the ledge) all the way to the edge of the screen. Next, go south and destroy the hut by shooting the boxes, and kill the soldiers while you're at it. Now, go west along the bottom of the screen and kill all the soldiers here. Go north and kill the soldiers at the compound (I called it a depot earlier, same difference). Phase 2 of 2 - Trigger Happy ---------------------------- Briefing: With 4 Soldiers You Must Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (12), Jops (12), Stoo (11), RJ (7) Recruits Remaining: 85 Walkthrough: Go west and destroy the hut. Keep going west and destroy the south of the two native houses (remember enemy huts must have doors!). Then go east into the fenced section and destroy the north house. Go south then and east, and shoot the box to destroy the final hut. Pretty simple, really. ============================== Mission 7 - Greenland Redblood ============================== Password: JBLBD Phase 1 of 3 - The Slippery Stairway ------------------------------------ Briefing: With 3 Soldiers You Must Kill All Enemy Destroy Enemy Buildings Squad: Jools (14), Jops (14), Stoo (13) Recruits Remaining: 100 Walkthrough: [NEXT VERSION!] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.
