"Operation Flashpoint HELP..."

I'm palying through the Operation Flashpoint: Resistance demo constantly, attacking the same areas but with different tactics. It's really great. I'm in charge of a group of men but I don't know how to tell them to re-arm or get medical help, so it's normally me completing the mission commando-style but those guys running along behind. Can anyone help. How do my men pick up more ammo?

Thanks.

Telling your men to pick up ammo was something that bothered me allot in the original Operation Flashpoint, speaking of which I must install it again and have another go. I have a craving for soldier sims all of a sudden.

Two genuinely helpful posts on the same day...


What have you done with the real Goatboy?

You press the tilda key (`) to highlight all your squad OR using the F keys (F1, F2 etc) to highlight individual soldiers, then use 1-10 (NOT F1-F10) to bring down the appropriate commands.

To send a soldier to pick up ammo:

F1 to select soldier 1 (F2 for soldier 2 etc)
When he's highlighted, press 6 to bring down action menu
Press 6 to "collect ammo" and he'll go off

Loads of different commands from mount/dismount, to telling them to stay/lay down/scan horizon/lay down covering fire etc.

It's all the F keys to select soldiers, then 1-10 to bring down the menus.

obviously I don't have a manual.

I'm sure you could download one off the net though

dunno, I have the full game which I think is great, but still don't know how to do simple things like re-fuel a truck/tank.
