Sometimes your worst enemy is a fellow human being. It might be that you
|
|
are unlucky enough to be sent to a war zone. I have crossed the Iron
|
|
Curtain six times illegally dodging the border patrols. While I have had a
|
|
considerable amount of luck, you must have skill also.
|
|
|
|
Know thy enemy. It's unlikely that the enemy goes out in a dreadful weather
|
|
at night. This is the time you can move well. But beware, they probably
|
|
have set up land mines and traps. I have seen chopped down trees that are
|
|
left rotting on the ground on the Iron Curtain. That is a good place to
|
|
hide a land mine or to put a trap thread. Don't even try!
|
|
|
|
The most unlikely place to put a land mine is a road used by the border
|
|
patrol themselves. You can see the usage looking for new tire tracks on the
|
|
road.
|
|
|
|
The border is full of military camps and installations. Do not take any
|
|
photograps and avoid the camps altogether. If you are caught they believe
|
|
you more if you don't have photos of their military stuff.
|
|
|
|
Roads are risky. You walk, but they drive and a car can appear suddenly,
|
|
before you can hide. It's good if when you look obviously coming from
|
|
behind the border to be heading *away* from the border (showing them that
|
|
this is the maximum length that you have walked behind the border).
|
|
|
|
If you look like a local, you can be walking either way. Put a good stunt and
|
|
they'll pass you. They don't have time to question all locals.
|
|
|
|
Caves and pits are good in hiding from the heat detecting camera. There is
|
|
an anti-heat detector suit commercially available, but if you are caught in
|
|
that you have one excuse less. If you see a patrol coming, take a step or
|
|
two to cover youself. Don't run, don't panic. Remember to have a
|
|
believable excuse.
