Best tactic I have for taking on those bazooka guys is to split your squad and take 1 soldier to take them on. Just keep moving and fire at them. If you have a bazooka as well it's already a little easier to get them since you don't have to get too close.

Later on in the game there's a level in which you've got to zigzag to the top. On almost every corner there's a bazooka guy. Haven't beaten it yet :-).

I got CF and CF2 on Amiga, great games. I finished CF during the 90s, but I never managed to finish CF2.
CF was (or still is) illegal in Germany, CF 2 is not, go figure.

I take it that Wolfenstein 3D is still illegal then as well?

If you want to play Cannon Fodder on PC you can get it quite cheap from GOG at http://www.gog.com/e...d/cannon_fodder.

Ah, made it! Now I'm stuck on Mission 6, Phase 2. There's just so many of them and only 4 of me
I find I make progress if I play in little spurts, maybe try for 15-20 minutes..and then if I'm not doing a little better every round, give up and try again the next day. Otherwise I just get frustrated and I'm afraid I'll throw my controller against the wall and break it (and Ionly have the one )

oh, and in 6-1, does anyone else keep dying by FALLING DOWN THE FRIGGIN" STAIRS??!?

Like really, half the time all my men seem to just die instantly if I don't go down the stairs just right...Is that a glitch? Probably not, this game is unforgiving hard..fun, but geez!

Level 6-1 is where you start in the top left corner on some kind of mountain ridge right? Brownish level? Those stairs are indeed extremely annoying. Have lost many fine men on that as well. There's a hole in the bridge on the right if I'm not mistaken, so guide them slowly over the left of it. Once down, take out the barracks at the bottom right. Snipers/Bazookas are waiting for you a bit further on the left. So be careful.

That's the one! I've gotten past it 2 or 3 times now...I'm finding (surprise surprise) 6-2 to be a lot harder..It's just so big, so many enemies, so many places to die there's really no room for error. I find with this game, I have to make a plan of action, which is the best way to proceed through a level..and then stick to it, over and over..maybe making it a little bit farther each time. There's no room for running around randomly shooting things. Splitting the squad has also helped since I learned how to do that...and using cover wisely...I was doing alright in 6-2, made it down the stairs and past the bazooka guy..And then there was a sniper on the frigging rooftop!

Also, is there a way to destroy the bigger buildings, or just the little ones that look like log cabins?

[Htbaa]

Not that I can remember. I believe at one point I took the Official Jaguar Guide (or whatever the thing is called) which walkthroughs of some (all?) of the levels just to get passed them. I'm not sure if I remember 6-2 well, is that the huge map with a rather large base with fences around it? I believe there was a vehicle available in it as well.

[Gentleman_loser]

Yeah that's the one I'm stuck on now
Half the time I lose one or two of my guys goign down those damned stairs! So I just re-start..It's hard enough without trying to do the other 90% of the map with only 2 soldiers
