Amazon.com Review

Commandos is a great game of special operations warfare set in World War II. The game is mostly action, with just a hint of strategy--but rest assured, you'll need some strategy tips to keep your six commandos alive through all 20 missions. This excellent guide from Prima starts you off with a section that explains how to control your troops during a mission and how to spot the various types of enemies you're likely to run into. You'll then get an extensive bio of each of the commandos, with information on their special skills and equipment. From that point on, the book dives into a series of walkthroughs that will take you through the entire game, from basic training right through the three campaigns. At the end of the guide, you'll find a lengthy chapter on multiplayer Commandos and how to apply your covert combat tactics to real, live opponents. --Michael Ryan

This review is from: Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

I played the first fifteen mission of the Behind enemy lines, till I bought Men of Courage, so I am evaluating the tips from this book till the Mission 15.
First there is a brief introduction about the mission, and dividing them into phases, with little history.
There are a lot of detailed pictures, with soldiers numbered in the best order you should take care of them. The text is detailed, full with helpful advices and cautions, especially about tricky points in the mission (where you must hide the bodies, unseen patrolling guards, time limits). Also information about liberating allies, or using barrel, which it took me long time to figure out had I did not use this manual. You do not have to follow all the tips exactly, use your imagination and feel the challenge of "straddling in the combat filed". I did that in Mission 5 and 13.
It is a great help, and without the missions will take longtime to accomplish, so use and enjoy the Commandos.
