Operation Icarus is the tenth mission of Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines.
Historical Background[]
Ten days have passed since the end of the battle at El Alamein, which brought a dramatic exchange of roles in North Africa. Rommel's troops have retreated to the Libyan city of El Agheila in what seems to be a long, hardly fought withdrawal.
Objectives[]
Captain Gregor McRae, from the Royal Air Force, has been hit while in a reconnaissance flight over German positions, and taken as a prisoner near the airfield of El Agheila.
You'll infiltrate the camp and rescue him.
Tactical Advice[]
Well, officer. This will be your starting point. You will recover McRae, and destroy the bomb store to the south of the base. Should you consider useful to capture a tank... take care. Right now, this is the only unoccupied one. To get away, you'll take a Junkers 52 in the nearby airfield. McRae can pilot it. Ah... If you find time to wreck some of those Stukas, you'll make me very happy. Dismissed.
Trivia[]
