Quick notes

  • Transport is an approach choice. A vehicle can cross an exposed distance quickly or carry a mounted weapon.
  • Boats open coastal routes. Inflatable and armed boats solve water crossings differently.
  • The hang glider needs a landing plan. A glider offers an aerial route but commits Jack to a vulnerable approach.
  • Follow the mission route after exploration. The island’s spaces allow tactical alternatives, but the campaign still advances through defined levels and objectives.
