To pick up an item from the ground, simply
move the mouse pointer over the item and
click. The item will now be ‘attached’ to the
mouse pointer. The name of this item is
shown in the bottom of the screen, next to the
aquanaut’s name. Move the item over the
location in which you want it to be carried and
click again. The item is now available for use
by the aquanaut.
To load a weapon with ammunition, pick up
the ammunition and click on the appropriate
weapon. To carry this out, the weapon must
be in a hand, the right type and unloaded.
To unload ammunition from a weapon, pick
up the loaded weapon and click on the Unload
button. The weapon will go to the aquanaut’s
right hand and the ammunition to the left. To
carry this out, both of the aquanaut’s hands
must be empty.
When you have finished equipping your
aquanaut, click on OK to enter the main part of
the Alien Submarine Assault — the
Battlescape.
THE BATTLESCAPE SCREEN
The Battlescape screen is a 3-D display that
allows you to control a small squad of heavily
armed X-COM aquanauts.
Using the Battlescape
Your squad starts the mission in their
transport Sub. The aquanaut nearest to the
Sub’s exit has a yellow animated arrow to
show that he/she is selected, ready to
move out.
Selecting and Moving Aquanaut’s
A 3-D box appears when you move the mouse
pointer over the Battlescape. To select a
different aquanaut, either click on the
button in the Control Bar (see the next section
for full details of the Control Bar) or move the
cursor box over the required aquanaut and
click. A yellow arrow indicates the selected
aquanaut.
To move the selected aquanaut to a
destination, simply move the cursor box to
the destination and click.
