Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 MoW: Vietnam Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

New objective: Destroy the roadblock.

Your next task is clearing the southern part of the POW camp and then capturing the roadblock on the north, which will be a preparation for the final assault. Select your sniper and hide him in the woods. Take out two guards patrolling the road to the south of the camp in [1] and [2] (look at the second map) from a safe distance. You can see the body of the first and the second one in the picture below. You might miss either of them the first time round, but don't worry about it. Just keep trying. The enemy is likely to run looking for your sniper and you should take a shot at him once he stops for a second (slowing the game can help) Next, take out the solitary soldier in [3] who is standing under the watchtower.

You must know that the alarm zone doesn't cover the southern part of the camp, which means you can kill enemies there without fear that one of them raises the alarm - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You must know that the alarm zone doesn't cover the southern part of the camp, which means you can kill enemies there without fear that one of them raises the alarm. But if it does happen you'll get a message telling you that a column of vehicles and a great number of enemy infantry are approaching. Load your saved game as fighting them is pointless. Also, you can't let enemies staying in the huts in [4], [5], [6] and [7] run outside. Apart from looking for you they could raise the alarm. Watch out and save the game frequently. If anything goes wrong just load it. The next three enemies to get rid of are standing inside the hut in [8]. Place your sniper in the vicinity of [9] and kill the first one (who's outside). After that, take out the rest. If you can't aim at them just move your sniper a few feet to the left or right.

The next task is quite difficult - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The next task is quite difficult. You have to kill two guards patrolling the east road. Place your sniper in the bushes in [10] near the road and wait until the first guard comes from the south (not from the north!). Throw a knife at him. Pick it up and quickly crawl to [11]. You can't kill another here because another two watchful enemies in [12] would see it. That's why, you must wait until he walks past you. Then, start creeping behind him, wait for a few seconds and throw a knife at him before he sees the body of his companion. If all had been done well, no one should have been alarmed. The picture below shows the bodies of these two guards (and the distance between them, which is the basis for success in this action).

These two were the only ones who could have warned the rest against the massacre that's about to happen - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

These two were the only ones who could have warned the rest against the massacre that's about to happen. Hide the sniper in [13] and start eliminating all enemies in [14] from a safe distance one by one. It's very easy, because they won't go anywhere after you (look at the picture below). Moreover, three enemy soldiers will come running here, from the hut in [15], and another one who's patrolling the southern part of the camp. Now, you must leave it and capture the roadblock. First, select John Merrill and hide him in bushes in [16] near the road. Wait until the two guards patrolling the road pass each other and kill the both using a silenced rifle. Then, go to the vicinity of [17], [18] and [19]. These areas are being patrolled by single guards, which can be taken out without difficulty. Try killing them from the furthest possible distance from the roadblock.

Locate a few boulders in [20] and send your sniper there - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Locate a few boulders in [20] and send your sniper there. Lean and shoot the soldiers standing in [21] in the head. Then, immediately, slow down the game and quickly hide your sniper behind the boulder. It will prevent your sniper from getting killed by the heavy machineguns. You can kill three soldiers this way (two are standing and the one is patrolling, their bodies are visible in the picture below). Unfortunately, you won't be able to take out the rest so easily, as you would have to place your sniper much further from the boulders and he probably wouldn't be able to escape from the heavy machineguns on time back to his hiding place, after he's killed one of the enemy soldiers.

But there is another solution - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

But there is another solution. Equip one of your men with a dozen grenades or more (don't forget that you can search the opponents' bodies). Order him to encircle the roadblock and find a hollow in [22]. Crawl to [23] and stand up. Enemy soldiers won't see you and this way you'll be able to escape quicker. Throw a grenade in the vicinity of the heavy machinegun in [24] and immediately, run to the hollow. Lie down and wait until enemy fire stops. As the heavy machineguns are now pointed at the other direction, your sniper will have more time to escape. Select him, kill one of the enemies in [25] and quickly hide behind the boulder. Don't worry about the additional troops that will come from the camp to [24]. The grenades will kill them as well. Now, repeat these two actions: alternate using the sniper with using the soldier carrying grenades. The only remaining opponents should be those hidden in the bunkers and a few near the heavy machinegun in [25].

You can get rid of them with no trouble - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get rid of them with no trouble. Select the soldier with grenades and crawl near the sandbags in [24]. They'll protect you from the heavy machineguns fire (look at picture below). From here, start throwing grenades until there aren't any enemy soldiers next to the heavy machinegun. Send two of your men to operate it and then select your soldier with grenades. Throw a grenade into the bunker in [26]. It should kill all the opponents, but watch out for those in [27]. They'll come out and try to escape to the camp. It will raise the alarm and you can't let this happen. Make sure to kill them using the heavy machinegun before they attempt to get away. Take the two heavy machineguns from [24] and [25] and place them both on the road to the north in [28].

New objective: Capture the trucks to evacuate the prisoners - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

New objective: Capture the trucks to evacuate the prisoners.

New objective: Rescue the American POWs.

It's time for some loud action in the camp. Use the southern entrance and find a heavy machinegun in [29]. There are lots of boxes with ammunition right next to it. Take the ammo and put it into the weapon (you should have at least 2,000 bullets). Your task is to kill all the enemies in the camp in less than ten minutes. As you probably remember, heavy machinegun ammunition pierces through most obstacles that could be used by the enemy as covers. Start by shooting blindly at the buildings in [7] and [6]. Try to kill as many enemies as you can before they scatter around. Afterwards, start taking out single guards hidden here and there. Slow down the game and use your map to make the search quicker.

Don't forget about the gates in [30] and [31] - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Don't forget about the gates in [30] and [31]. Take out the crews of the cannons in [32] and [33] as well. Unfortunately, your attack will do some damage to the trucks in [34], but they aren't necessary to escape. To complete the mission objective connected with using the trucks you just need to get into one of them and get out immediately. Your own safety is more important, and you must stay behind obstacles or at a safe distance. If you shoot at the enemies who can see you, they'll quickly kill your own men who operate the heavy machinegun (look out especially for the cannons in [32] and [33]). After a while, move the heavy machinegun to [35] and continue eliminating enemies from there. Kill any single soldiers using the sniper and clear the square in [36]. If you aren't wasting your time the whole camp should be clean in nine minutes or less. You must have at least one minute left to rescue the prisoners.

Order one of your men to quickly run between the huts in [37] where the prisoners are being held - Mission 5: Long Way Home - p. 2 - USA - Men of War: Vietnam - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Order one of your men to quickly run between the huts in [37] where the prisoners are being held. Watch the cutscene and then slow down the game. Mark all your men as control groups (use Shift key and digits 0-9). Remember that one group can include maximum of eight soldiers. You must create the groups of all of your men, so that you won't be confused when giving them orders. Also, it must be done very quickly. Without delay, send your men to [28]. There should be your two heavy machineguns there, as well as the rest of your soldiers. You should be able to escape before new enemies discover you.
