The first high ground (the one just SW of the base) is covered by a turret,
and my range can't hit the troops w/out being killed by the turret.  The
second high ground worked perfect- until 2 buggies and a tank showed up
along w/the troops- and there was no break in the line of troops for me to
slip in through... now what???
the only time I got in was by taking a seriously _back_ route- using my
chopper to land me next to the far- right SAM site, but my chopper was taken
out by two tanks guarding it- luckily the tanks didn't attack the commando.
I next went up the far-right side of the map, only encountering one buggy
that shot at me but moved on- I was in the base, but then I made the mistake
of attacking a rifleman- I got mobbed by everyone in the base, and I hadn't
saved. also- who do you get past the barbed wire? wish I could cut it-
commandos should have something like a grappling hook/wirecutters, otherwise
what good are they but infantry killers?

still trying,
