How do I *not* get spotted by the field full of troops and mech on veteran?

Someone said they did it by lying on top of Macmillan  ;-)  Personally 
I'm looking for a more realistic solution...

Anyone?

I found that you could actually crawl around and avoid them.  Also not very 
realistic, since a person should notice someone moving in the tall grass a 
couple feet away, but it worked for m.

I followed directly behind him, about one foot back, then moved left 
when the soldier passed closely on our right.  I then crawled past him 
when there was room to do so, and kept going.  It took me 3 tries on 
veteran, and seemed as if he needed more space than normal difficulty. 
Maybe it was just me.

I could almost believe in the field, keeping still.  My biggest 
disconnect was following him under the trucks, on the pavement. 
"Nothing here sir, just some rifles being dragged under the trucks by 
two huge clumps of grass."

Lol.  Thanks for the tips both.  Will try again later.  Got through 
first time on regular difficulty but I've been prone and stationary 
behind tree's etc on veteran and they still see me.  That's something I 
do hate about these types of games - there seems to be a certain place 
to be, route to take or way to do something and not much outside of that 
script works.  Fun ride though.

Ah, necroposting.  Welcome to the new usenet ;-)

I always found that the "stick the camera 'twixt his legs" method
worked best... essentially the same "trick" as above, but slightly
more "realistic".

Essentially, to get through that section you just have to stick
really, really close to the lead guy. Stay prone, and stay right
behind him (don't stray off to the sides even a bit) and when he says
don't move, really don't move. 

The hardest part of that section for me is not getting spotted, but
resisting the urge to stand up and start shooting. ;-)
