*NOTE:  Currently, this FAQ only contains walkthroughs for the Recruit Mode.
I intend on finishing this guide with the Veteran Mode sometime in the future,
but for now, I'm working on Codename: Panzers.  And starting November 15th, I
will be working on Metroid Prime 2.  So it might be well into 2005 before the
Veteran Mode walkthroughs get posted.  I apologize in advance to anyone that
comes here looking for help on the Veteran mode.

I)  You don't build things during the missions in this game, unlike most RTS
games out there.  You will either start with or be given every unit that you'll
use in every mission.

II)  Infantry are much more useful in this game than they are in most RTS games
out there.  A rocket from an Engineer can actually destroy a vehicle in one
hit, depending on the vehicle.

III)  The controls are a little confusing if you try to play without either
reading the manual or playing the training missions.  I suggest you do at least
one of them.  I read the manual, and then played the missions, but I'm fairly
confident that the missions are enough to teach you what you need to know.

IV)  Formations are annoying as hell, but there doesn't seem to be anything
you can do about it.  When you highlight multiple units that are standing on
the terrain and tell them to move somewhere, they will stay fairly close to the
same relative position as they were before you moved them.  Make sure you keep
your units close together, and make sure stragglers don't end up stuck on the
wrong side of where you wanted them to be because the formation split them from
the rest of your forces.

V)  The gameplay has an initial "Recruit" difficulty, and then has a "Veteran"
difficulty after you complete the Recruit difficulty.  So, don't worry when you
blow through the missions at first with no challenge, and don't worry about how
few missions there appear to be.

VI)  Many missions will start with the camera pointing in an odd direction.  I
always start each mission by changing the camera to point due north.  I suggest
you do the same, simply to avoid confusion with the directions I use in the
mission walkthroughs.  To rotate the camera, hold down the right and left mouse
buttons, then move the mouse.  Let go of the buttons to leave it in place.

VII)  The camera can be zoomed in an out.  Depending on how you like to play,
you might want to change it.  I always zoom it all the way out, just so I can
see more of the map at once.  To change the zoom, simply roll the wheel of your
mouse in the appropriate direction.

OBJECTIVES:

I) Destroy Radar Bunker

WALKTHROUGH:

Start by using an Engineer to blow up the barn on the far east of the screen,
just barely north of your position.  Have him crawl through the hedges near the
barn, or he'll get shot before he can place the bomb.  (In case you don't know
how to use the bomb function:  Highlight an Engineer unit.  See the little
bazooka symbol on the bottom-left of the screen?  Hover your cursor over it,
and another symbol will appear above it.  Click on that symbol to prepare the
bomb attack, and then left click on the target.)

Once that barn is destroyed, you can win this mission using only that same
Engineer unit.  Just to be safe though, you might want to bring all three of
them along.  Take them north along the far east side of the map, making sure to
stay on the east of the hedge rows so that no enemy soldiers attack you.  Go
north until you hit the edge of the map, directly east of the bunker you want
to destroy.

Slowly edge the Engineer west along the top of the screen towards the bunker.
If you see any enemy soldiers, wait for them to leave the area before you keep
going.  When you get near the bunker, select the bomb attack.  Continue running
along the top of the screen and tell the Engineer to bomb the bunker.  Even if
he gets shot at, he shouldn't get killed.  If he gets the bomb placed, you'll
win once it blows up.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Destroy Both Western Bridges

2) Secure Eastern Bridge

WALKTHROUGH:

You start with three groups of infantry.  Start with the farthest western
group.  Hug the river to the west, and take all of the infantry north.  There
is a bunker to the left of the bridge, and there is an SMG unit above the
bunker.  Take the Engineer up along the river until he is directly to the west
of the SMG unit.  Slowly move him towards the SMG unit until you can blast it
with a bazooka shell.  It should kill the whole unit.  Now select your Rifle
squad.  Use their Grenade option (accessed in the same way as the bomb command
for Engineers) to rush the bunker and chuck grenades at it.  Destroy it, and
then line all of your troops up to defend against a group of infantry that will
come from the north.

Now head over to your middle pile of infantry.  Take them all west, and head
north along the river.  Take out the SMG unit below the bunker, and then use
some Rifle guys to lob grenades at the bunker.  Defend against the groups of
infantry that will appear from the north and the east.  Then take your infantry
from the other side of the river and cross to the east side.  Use the Engineer
to bomb the bridge.

Take your units east towards the other river, and then head north-east along
it.  Take out any resistance you encounter, and use a Rifle unit to throw
grenades at the bunker on the west side of the bridge.  Now clump your forces
together to defend against possible attacks.

Go to your third group of infantry, on the east side of the eastern river.  Go
east into the small village, and take out any enemy forces you encounter.  Use
a Rifle Group to chuck grenades at the bunker to destroy it.  Once you've
eliminated all resistance, cross the bridge and join your other group of units.
Remember:  You do NOT want to destroy this bridge.

Take your forces slightly east, and then head north, bypassing the town
entirely.  Work your way through the hedges and crap all the way to the north,
where you'll see some train tracks.  Head due west when you get to the tracks,
and take out any enemy units you encounter along the way.  When you get to the
bridge, use your Engineer to bomb it.  If you somehow lost your Engineer, just
use Mortar units or some grenades.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Destroy Channel Gun

2) Destroy Beach Defense Bunkers

3) Destroy Command Bunker

WALKTHROUGH:

This mission is chaos.  Most of your infantry will be slaughtered before they
can even get a few steps off the beach.  Concentrate your efforts on the center
landing zones, where there is a gap in the machine gun fire.  Run anything you
can directly to the west and seek safety against the cliff wall.  You should be
close to the Channel Gun, so use your forces to destroy it.  Use the grenade
option from the Rifle units.

Head south with those units and destroy the machine gun bunker against the
cliff.  Be careful not to get too far in front of it.  Head farther south, and
carefully approach the farthest south bunker.  Destroy it just like the other
two.  Then gather any troops that are on the south parts of the beach and form
one large group.

Head up the cliffs.  Take out the machine gunner and the bunker near the ramp
that heads up the cliff.  Then head north, destroying anything you encounter
along the way.  Eventually you will come to a fenced-in camp.  Destroy the
bunker inside the camp.  Then continue north along the cliff and destroy the
third machine gun bunker.

If you have quite a few troops left in your group, you can continue north and
destroy the last machine gun bunker.  If you're low on forces, go get the piles
of infantry from the beach.  If you stay next to the cliff, you can approach
the ramp in the hills without the bunker firing at you.  Approach it carefully
just like the other bunkers, and destroy it.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Destroy Mobile Radar Vehicles

WALKTHROUGH:

You have three groups of units, and there are three mobile radar vehicles.
Convenient, isn't it?  Take the south-east group all the way to the far south
east corner of the map.  take out the mortar unit nearby, and then head due
west across the bottom of the screen.  You can drive vehicles through hedges
just like infantry can walk through them.  Continue west along the bottom until
you see an area inside some hedges that has a bunker in it.  Approach the area
carefully, and stay even with the entrance.  Once you get close enough, your
tanks will take shots at the vehicles inside the hedge area.  One of them is a
mobile radar vehicle.  If you do it correctly, you can destroy the radar
vehicle without disturbing the Panzer IV's that are also inside those hedges.

With that one destroyed, take that group of tanks a little to the east.  Go
north through the first gap in the hedges that you see.  Cross the road, and
continue north through the gap in the hedges on that side of the road.  A
little farther north, you should see a small clearing.  Hedges should be on the
left, and concrete walls on the right.  There is another mobile radar vehicle
in that clearing.  Approach it and destroy the vehicle.  You can do it without
anything firing at you if you approach slowly from the left side, but it
doesn't really matter if you get destroyed or not.

Go up to the north-western group of your units.  Send them due west across the
top of the map.  You'll run into a clearing in the trees that heads south-west.
Follow the clearing, and you should see another hedge area with a bunker in it.
Approach the entrance to the hedge area slowly, and you should be able to blast
the third mobile radar vehicle eventually.  Once you do, you can just wait for
the mission to be completed.  It just takes the game a little while to say it.

Unload all of your Half Tracks.  The infantry inside will do you more good if
they're outside, especially since they'll all get killed if the Half Track gets
destroyed.  Take everything you have and head directly north through the hedge
rows, and stop right before the train tracks.  Now take all of the infantry a
little to the east, and stop underneath the small bridge that crosses the train
tracks.  There's a bunker on the other side of the tracks, so don't go any
farther north.  Use your Howitzer Half Tracks to destroy the bunker (use the
Force Fire command if you have to).

Cross the tracks a little to the left of the small bridge.  Make sure you keep
all of your infantry close together.  Position the Howitzer Half Tracks just
barely above the tracks, and then slowly move forward with your infantry.  Do
not go farther than the intersection of the road just north of the bridge.
Take out the infantry and small vehicle you encounter.  Now deploy your Field
Guns just below the town and man them with some Rifle units.  Point them all to
the north.  Run an empty Half Track north along the road above the bridge.  A
sniper will shoot the Half Track from a building, but the Field Guns should
quickly destroy it.

Unman the Field Guns and hitch them back up.  You can now head all the way up
the road until you are right in front of the airfield.  Deploy your Field Guns
Close to the fence near the small entrance, and man them all with Rifle units.
Point them north to cover the airfield.  Position your Howitzer Half Tracks
next to the Field Guns.  Group the rest of your stuff into a tight pile in the
clearing near your Field Guns.  Use a Commander's binocular function to scan
the airfield through the fence.  The Field Guns should be able to destroy most
of the enemy forces before they can do anything.  Your primary concern is the
Panzer IV.  Once it's destroyed, look for Engineer units.

Once you can't see anymore units on the airfield with the Commander's binocular
function, take him inside the perimeter of the airfield through the small gap
in the fence.  Proceed carefully, and make sure your Field Guns can cover him.
Continue using his binocular function as you move forward.  There is an
Engineer unit in the north-west.  If you still have your Sniper, you can use it
to take out that Engineer.  Once you have the west half of the airfield secure,
you can move the Howitzer Half Tracks through the gap in the fence.  Use them
to destroy any other forces you can see to the east with the Commander.  Also
use them to destroy buildings, which can have enemy units hiding inside.  Make
sure you destroy the guard towers at the southern entrance to the airfield.
Once every enemy unit is destroyed, you will get a message saying that you've
accomplished the first objective.

If you still have your Howitzer Half Tracks intact, then you can leave your
Field Guns behind.  Take your infantry and the Howitzer Half Tracks out of the
airfield area and head east along the top of the map.  When you arrive at the
enemy base area, take the Howitzers along the top and fire at the two
AntiAircraft Guns there.  Once they're destroyed, you will win the mission.
Use the infantry to defend against any possible attacks that might come up.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Assassinate the Officers in Axis Headquarters

WLAKTHROUGH:

Start by taking your five tanks north-west along the river.  Destroy the
bunkers and enemy troops you encounter along the way.  Continue north with them
until you get to the second bridge along the river.  Send the Howitzer Half
Track from the south-west across the river at the first bridge, and then send
it north to your tanks.  Group all of your infantry together, and make sure you
are towing both Field Guns.  Send all of that stuff up to your tanks as well.

The road you've been following turns east above the second bridge.  Follow this
road, but only until you are half way between the river and bridge.  Deploy and
man both of your Field Guns, and turn them north.  Use a Commander's binocular
feature to look up there, and you should see an enemy field gun.  Your Field
Guns should destroy it as soon as you see it.  Now unman the Field Guns, and
move them to a spot slightly south-west of the spot where you just destroyed
that gun.  Man them and point them east towards the Chateau.

Use the Commander to see what's around the Chateau.  Your Field Guns should be
able to destroy a Panzer IV or two before they can even move.  Run your
infantry pile towards the Chateau from the west.  The Field Guns and your
Engineers should be able to handle the guard towers.  Your tanks will have to
deal with the Panzer IV's that are going to come up from the city.

Use your troops to destroy the Chateau.  Keep them south of the building,
because enemy commanders will try to flee the building through the front once
you've destroyed three sections of the Chateau.  Kill the commanders, and you
will win the mission.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Secure the Train Depot

WLAKTHROUGH:

Start with the western group of your forces.  Send them north to the top of the
screen, and work your way west until you are close to the river.  Now leave
these forces here.  Turn your attention to the south-east group of your forces.
Take the two tanks north-west towards the small town.  Keep them by the tree
at the south-east entrance, and wait for German forces to make their way past
your position.  Your tanks should destroy several groups of infantry, and make
sure that you target the tank as soon as you see it.

Proceed through the town and cross the bridge to the west over the river.  You
can leave this group of forces with your first group for now.  Select your last
group of forces.  Head towards the bridge, but make sure you destroy the two
buildings in the north-west corner of the town first.  There are troops in
them, and they will hurt you a lot if they get the chance.  Cross the bridge
with this group, and all of your forces will be together in a nice little pile.

Deploy all of your field guns, and point them south-west at the train depot.
Line up your tanks pointing that direction too.  Use a Commander to locate
targets inside the depot, and then target anything you find.  Use force fire if
necessary.  You don't want to deal with anything while inside the depot if you
can avoid it.

Once there are no more visible targets for you to hit from your current
position, move everything south into the trees.  Redeploy your field guns, and
line your tanks up again, just to be safe.  Scout again and destroy anything
you can see.  Don't forget to destroy the guard towers around the fence of the
depot, either.

Continue this pattern through the entire depot.  Don't get overconfident and
try to move west too fast.  Take your time, and make sure the area is clear
before you advance.  Fighting too many units in close quarters is almost
certain to screw you over.  Once you destroy every unit in the depot, including
the guard towers around it, you will win the mission.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Secure the Town Square

2) Defend Against the German Counter Attack.

WALKTHROUGH:

This is by far the hardest mission yet.  Your troops will parachute into the
large clearing area.  Sort them out, putting each type of unit into a group
with the other units of the same type.  Head across the bridge a little to the
east once you are ready.  Don't go too far over it until you have everything
across, though.

Position the Engineers south of the houses to the left, and position the Mortar
Troops a little farther south than that.  Put the Riflemen east of there, and
stick the rest of your troops behind the pile, where it should be fairly safe.
Now just sit back and watch as German units approach.  Most of them will either
be instantly destroyed by the Engineers or hit by mortar shells.

Meanwhile, take two Engineers from your pile and head into the forest to the
east.  Hide them behind two different trees at the northern edge of the forest,
and send another soldier with them (either a Sniper or a Heavy Machine Gun
soldier, because the unit is almost certainly going to be sacrificed, so you
will want to try and minimize how much you lose).

Keep your eyes on the road leading east, and when a tank approaches from it,
run your solitary soldier towards it so you can see it, and then have the two
Engineers fire at it.  You will almost certainly lose the solitary soldier, but
you will prevent the tank from devastating the rest of your troops.  Leave the
two Engineers in the forest, because another tank will come by here later.

Now it's time to start the slow, dangerous approach towards the town square.
Select your entire Riflemen pile, and send them north-east.  You don't want to
go completely around the town, but you don't want to go through it, either.
Instead, go up the first road inside the town, so there is a single row of
buildings to the west, and the rest of the town is to the east.

Keep your Mortars and Engineers close behind the Riflemen.  If anything fires
at you, have the Mortars blast it, especially if it's enemy mortars.  Proceed
up the side of the town, past the church, and all the way to the top of the
town.  Keep your eyes peeled for garrisoned buildings.  If you see one that
looks suspicious, or if one of them fires at you, immediately destroy it with
the Mortars or Engineers.

When you are even with the town square, select a unit of Riflemen.  Head all
the way up above the city, and then approach the town square from the
north-west.  Immediately take out the field gun, and you will be told to defend
the square against the German counter attack.  If the field gun is still
operational, have your Riflemen man it, turn it eastward, and blast the house
with the sniper in it over there.  Then turn it south-east and prepare to fire
at the incoming tank.

If the field gun is destroyed, or if you get your Riflemen killed shortly after
using it, carefully send your Mortars and Engineers into the town.  Try to lure
the tank in front of a sidestreet with mortar fire, and then blast it with an
Engineer.  Use the Mortars to deal with the sniper building if you were unable
to destroy it earlier.  Once you remove the German units from the immediate
area, this mission will be complete.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Secure the Dam by Clearing the Compounds on Either Side

WALKTHROUGH:

Send all six of your tanks south-east to the intersection of the roads.  Send
everything else you have into the fenced-in field where a lot of your forces
start.  Deploy the field gun there, and face it south.  Line up all of your
infantry along the southern fence.  Some German forces are going to enter the
area from the south later, and you'll want these forces to be able to handle
them without your help.

Take one of your Commander units and send it over to your tank pile.  Proceed
westward with the tanks along the southern edge of the map.  When you reach the
western side of the small town, you'll have to drive up a hill.  Send the
Commander up the hill first to scout ahead, and then send the tanks up.  Wait
here, watching the road to the north with the Commander's binoculars.

Eventually, a Tiger 2 heavy tank will approach from the east.  Immediately
target it with all of your tanks.  It will almost certainly destroy one, but
there isn't much you can do about it.  When the Tiger 2 is destroyed, start
scouting farther to the west with the Commander.  Pick off any nearby infantry
with the tanks, and blast all three of the guard towers on the eastern side of
the small German camp to the west.

Slowly work your way westward, scouting with the Commander before moving your
tanks.  Destroy the German tanks as you start to see them.  There should be a
total of three in that base, so don't let your guard down until they have all
been dealt with.  Kill any infantry you see, and don't forget to get the bunker
in the middle of the are either.

Once this small camp area is clear, send your Commander and surviving tanks
west to the dam.  Get on top of the damn, make sure nothing is on it, and then
proceed to the northern side of the river.  Go east down the hill, and park
your tanks by the fence of the next German camp.  Use the Commander to scout
the camp, and use the tanks to destroy anything you see.  There are several
vehicles hiding on the east side of the buildings, so don't get fooled into
thinking the camp is secure before it actually is.

Work your way eastward with caution, taking your time and using the binoculars
to scout ahead at all times.  Make sure you remember to destroy the guard tower
in the north-east corner of this German camp before you move on.  Your next
objective is the bush area in the very north-east of the map.  Several soldiers
are hiding there, so eliminate them all.

If you don't win the mission after that, it means there is a straggler on the
map somewhere that you missed early.  Start looking around, and be thorough.
This can be quite frustrating sometimes, but just keep looking, and you will
find it eventually.  Just don't let your guard down.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Secure the Two West Bank Bridgeheads

2) Secure the East Bank Bridgeheads With Amphibious Reinforcements

WALKTHROUGH:

Start by grouping all of your forces together into separate piles.  Then head
east along the southern edge of the map, leading with a Commander so you will
have a large field of vision.  Wipe out the small groups of soldiers you
encounter, and move all the way to the west side of the small town near the
river.

There is a bunker north of the town, and a group of soldiers by the tree south
of the bunker.  Use your Mortar troops to deal with both of those threats, and
make sure you keep the rest of your infantry near the Mortars in case something
tries to attack them.  There is also a group of German soldiers in the middle
of the small town, so make sure you eliminate them as well.

Once the area is clear, turn your attention north-west, along the edge of the
larger town area.  There is a vehicle near the tents between the river and the
town, so scout ahead with the Commander's binoculars, and have your Mortar men
blast the vehicle.  Then proceed north along the edge of the river.  Leave
everything but a Commander and the Mortar men at the tent area.  A group of
enemy soldiers is going to approach form the south, and you will want your men
there to stop them before they get the chance to kill your Mortar men.

Keep your eyes on a small square house west of the tent pile just barely inside
the edge of town.  It has a sniper it in, so use your Mortar men to destroy it,
even if you have to force fire to do it.  When the house half-collapses, the
sniper will exit the building.  Have your Commander search that area so you can
kill the sniper before it gets the chance to pick off your Mortar men.

Continue north between the river and the edge of town.  When you get to the top
of the town, turn west.  Go almost all the way into the north-west corner of
the map, and then start edging your way east along the dirt road.  If you use
a Commander to search that direction, you will notice that there are two sniper
units, a mortar unit, a commander, and a riflemen group in the area directly
west of the bridgehead.

Carefully edge towards the enemy positions.  Keep using the binoculars, and get
close enough so your Mortar men will lob shells at anything they get the chance
to see.  Slowly and carefully eliminate all of the soldiers in this area, and
you will accomplish the first part of this mission.

Reinforcements will arrive in the south-west.  Send them south into the bushes,
and then send them all the way east to the river.  Cross the river, and land
the tanks on the very southern edge of the other side.  Work your way north,
eliminate all opposition, and finally eliminate the Panzer IV sitting next to
the bridgehead.

Get back into the water.  Head north up the river, and then get back on the
eastern bank just a little bit south-east of the second bridgehead.  Eliminate
the Panzer IV near the bridgehead first, and then eliminate the soldiers that
will also be near by.  Once the immediate area is secure, you will accomplish
the second objective, and the mission will be over.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Destroy Axis Ammunition Dumps

2) Destroy Axis Artillery

WALKTHROUGH:

This mission is fairly easy.  Start by selecting your forces in the south-west,
and send then east across the bridge to the middle pile of your forces.  Send
your south-eastern pile up to the pile on the east side of the bridge too.
Sort out your units, and put all nine of the tanks into a tight group.  Find
both of your Commanders, and put them near the tanks as well.

All of your other forces aren't really necessary.  Deploy the field gun and
turn it north-east.  Then just line up the rest of your forces near the field
gun and leave them here to defend themselves.

Start scanning to the north with your Commanders.  Use your tank pile to blast
anything you see.  Proceed north all the way along the edge of the river into
the north-west corner of the map, carefully eliminating every German unit along
the way.  When you get to the corner, start moving into the base across the top
of it.  Be even more careful now, since you can get surprised by enemy units
much easier in the base than you could out in the open.

Just like before, keep your tanks in a tight pile.  Make your way east along
the road, and blast everything you encounter.  You will drive directly south of
the first two ammunition dumps, so destroy them both.  Continue farther to the
east, and you will see the last two ammunition dumps across the road.

Once all four of the ammo dumps are destroyed, you will be notified of the
remaining mission objective.  There is only a single artillery unit as far as I
know, and it's in the north-east of the base.  Simply continue making your way
east from the road you're on, and then turn north when you start hearing and
seeing shells land around you.  Take out the artillery unit in the corner, and
this mission is over.

OBJECTIVES:

1) Destroy AntiAir Sites Guarding Axis Production Facilities

2) Hold Off Axis AntiAir Reinforcements Long Enough to Allow the Bombing
Mission to Take Place 

WALKTHROUGH:

As usual, start by grouping your units together.  Put all of your tanks and the
Howitzer Halftracks into a tight group (unhitch the Field Gun from the Howitzer
that has it attached).  Use a Commander to start scouting the area to the east.
Keep the pile of tanks near him, and they will promptly destroy anything he
sees.

Proceed farther east, and continue scouting and blasting anything you see.  The
first target is in the base area to the south, near the middle of the bottom
part of the map.  Park your tank pile inside the fence area at the entrance to
this base area, and then have your Commander search into the area.  You will
see several piles of infantry, a Tiger tank, and a mobile flak vehicle.
Destroy everything, with priority going to the Tiger, seeing as it posses a big
threat to your vehicles.

Keep going east, carefully eliminating any German forces around the train
tracks.  Your next objective is to the south-east, so start working your way
down there.  Cross the tracks, and park your tank pile on the west side of the
area where the two mounted antiaircraft guns are located.  There are several
more vehicles in that area, including a tank right on the other side of the
buildings you're behind.  Line up your tanks on the road leading in there, and
send them in quickly.

Start firing at anything you can see, giving priority to tanks.  Once you're
sure the area is secure, destroy the two mounted antiaircraft guns.  Don't fail
to check for German units north-east of these guns, or you could find yourself
getting attacked from the read on your way to the next objective.

Exit the area you're in and head north along the eastern side of the train
tracks.  Just like before, scout ahead and keep your tanks close to deal with
anything you find.  When you get to the north side of the dock, turn your tanks
east along that road.  At the end of it, you will see two more mounted
antiaircraft guns.  Destroy them both, and then head back out to the tracks.

Cross over to the western side of the tracks, scout to the north, and deal with
the Germans in the area.  Once they're cleared, advance until you can fire at
the last two mounted antiaircraft guns.  Once they're destroyed, the first part
of the mission will be complete.

Turn your tanks around and face north-east.  A fairly large group of German
vehicles will arrive.  Destroy them all as fast as you can, including the
mobile flak vehicle.  Then send all of your forces south to the other end of
the train tracks.  Another group of German units will have arrived in this
area, so destroy them all as fast as possible.  Your main objective should be
the mobile flak vehicle.

All you need to do now is sit back and let the mission finish itself.  The air
raid will happen, and you'll finish the Recruit Mode.

September 29th, 2004:
---------------------

 - Submitted the first part of the guide.  The entire Recruit Mode is done, but
I do not intend on finishing the Veteran Mode walkthroughs until I finish
Codename:  Panzers and Metroid Prime 2, which means it's very likely that the
Veteran Mode walkthroughs will not get posted until February of 2005 or later.
Who knows though, I might have an extremely productive stint and finish them
earlier.

January 27th, 2005:
-------------------

 - The good news is that I'm done with Codename:  Panzers and Metroid Prime 2.
The bad news is that I still have several other current projects that I'd
prefer to finish before starting the guide for the Veteran mode in this game.
I apologize to any loyal readers that were waiting for it, but I can help many
more gamers with my current projects than I can with this one.  Updated a few
small details, as well as the copyright section.
