Space Hulk Hints/Quick Docs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LMB = Left Mouse Button RMB = Right Mouse Button THE MAIN SCREEN Shows up to five terminator windows Shows map on left side Shows movement pad on right side Shows Freeze Button,Freeze Time Left Bar, and Squad Switch Buttons on bottom rigthand corner MOVEMENT & ATTACK You can use the arrow keys or use the mouse by clickin on the movement arrows on the movement pad (right side of main screen). The little circle in the middle is a fire button (LMB). You can also move the mouse pointer to the left, top, or right of the screen and a little arrow should show up, clicking the LBM will do that action. HINT: In a long corridor/hallway you can fire all the way down the hall and kill enemies not seen on screen. This is very helpful if you are just sitting there and know a bunch of aliens are approaching. HINT: I have noticed that fast repetitive firing is not very effective, use short burst in varied positions, it only takes one shot to kill the enemy, so wasting 10 shots on the floor is gonna get you wasted. Also, movement seems to be hampered by shooting too fast, so make short controlled burst. (Geez, sound like a freakin' army dude!) In the main screen you can see what is going on with the other terminators. YOU CAN make the guy fire the weapon by pressing the LMB on the window of the terminator you want to use. When aliens are close up, terminators use hand-to-hand combat, if they are equipped with good hand-to-hand combat weapons, then they have a good chance of winning, but the dudes with blasters usually loose. I just push the LMB like hell when I am up close. SWITCHING TERMINATORS and SQUADS In the main screen, just press the RMB on the terminator you want to control. Your old current terminator switches windows with the one you selected. In order to switch squads (if you have more than one), click on the Squad Switch button (it looks like an exclamation point on a striped background, lower right corner of the screen, or left upper corner on the detailed map screen) DETAILED MAP SCREEN In order to get here, push the RMB on the map while on the main screen, (its the left lower window on the main screen). Once here, use the arrow keys to move around the map. With this screen you can tell your guys where to go and what to do. Just select the terminator you want to use and click on where you want him to go (LMB). You can do it step by step or in one big step. I think you get a total of four different movements for each guy (like move to here, turn, move to here). You'll see, its not hard. HINT: When moving your guys, make sure you are not having one guy wait for another to move that is not going to move. The default path for a dude is not always the one you want. All you have to do is select a different point to get around the guy and then move to where you want to go. The top of this screen has a few buttons. There are two turn buttons, one is turn to the right and one is turn to the left. Use these to make your guy turn a certain way after he moves to where he needs to move (if you need him to). Ok, then there's two door things, open door and close door. (I personally never used these) Just use them the same way, move to an area, click on open/close door and whatever. Underneath those buttons you should see some more. One is line of site, another is change squad, and another is erase last movement (in caes you mess up). All these are pretty self-explanatory. There is also a 'GO' button in which you can see your dudes move around in a top-view fashion. HINT: If you want a guy to follow you, you can make him go to a certain point, but keep your guy in front of him and go to that point. The guy will go behind you b/c he is waiting for you to move. I used this technique a few times so that I had my men with me (behind me) and then they would split up after they reach the desired point. HINT: You can use this screen to get an extended view of your surrounding area. This way, you can tell if there are any enemy dudes around you, the normal map screen shows less. OTHER TERMINATORS The other terminators will automatically fight on there own. The only weapons that I don't think they will use automatically is the flame thrower. WEAPONS Blaster - Fires long range, standard weapon (automatic) Flame Thrower - Kills everything in a 3 square radius, will kill your own terminators too though. You get 6 of these AC (dont know what it is) - you get 10, its a projectile weapon (automatic) Axe and Claws - Hand to hand, they kick, you can crush enemies, but if you miss, C-YA! (I trust the blaster...) automatic means that the terminator will use it automatically (without you having to fire for him) PICKING UP ITEMS Put the pointer on the object and press the RMB, if you push the RMB later and the pointer is on the floor, you can drop the object OPENING/CLOSING DOORS Moving the mouse pointer to the left or right of the screen (the arrow should come up), and then pressing the RMB. Right = Close Door Left = Open Door (Note: This is how you secure an area) FREEZE BAR When in freeze mode, everything stops, it lets you think and plan your attack. You will probably use this most while in the detailed map screen. FREEZE TIME BAR This bar shows how much freeze time you have left, it regenerates while you are in 'live' action and decreases while in freeze mode. THE END. ~~~~~~~~ Fixed by... SOREHEAD!
