54%, Which is about what I expected. I've never wanted to be a soldier, especially a leader, and I try to avoid games in which I have to command.

95% it was for me, or was it 97% - I already forgot it again. Does it mean anything? :)

It is not a question of whether you can lead, but whether people will follow.

Being a leader is easy... getting people to follow is the hard part. :03:

Wow my connection is amazing to nite got dropped off in the middle. It says that it saves your progress.

I got 62% fair enough I suppose. I thought some of the choices where vague though to be honest. I thought a few times I might do that but are they going to do it the way I would have it done.

Of course being able to lead and being able to lead when real death is around the corner and real lives are in your hand vs a game two different things. a person could ace this and utterly freeze up in combat or bomb this and do well.

I a real situation you can only do your best.

In not being familiarized with British military SOP of that era, I found no reason to even give it a go.

I think in regards to doing it twice, the best thing to do is to take the first score as your final score, because the second time around you know what it's looking for. :03: You might want to wrap some of that text in spoilers too, for those who haven't done it yet.


Exactly. If it were up to me,. I'd wait for the Americans, we need the extra troops.

in episode 2 you see the running figure, which is clearly armed with a british rifle, why should I have engaged it?

yes, plus
 
if you had shot your own man, you would still have the machine gun nest to contend with.

I've spent my whole life making the wrong decisions. Why should I change now? :dead:

Well, sometimes you don't have the time to wait two to three years. :O:

Actually...

 
The guy you would have shot had already taken out the machine gun nest with a mills bomb, that was why he went missing in the retreat, he went up to the nest with a grenade and took it out, then went running back to inform the rest of the troop. Of course, if you'd shot him then you wouldn't have known that, unless he said it before dying or something.
