When placing your men around the top of the building, put them all on the same side. The best side is the bottom one. Now press 'F1' which will show you the side where your men are placed. Scan the top windows first for an empty room. You should see the men dangling from ropes, if not then you have got the wrong side! You should send your first man in on the top floor. If all the windows have silhouettes, the hostages are the one's with a slightly fatter silhouette. If you mistakenly shoot a hostage at the window, you may as well start again. Don't forget there are only three hostages!

When your first man has entered a window on the top floor, clear the top floor of all terrorists (in green and they don't move around much, while hostages are blue). When you've killed your first terrorist, position your gun where he once stood, so when you burst in on the next one, you don't have to mess around with positioning your gun, but can shoot him straight away. When the top floor is clear, move your man to the top right room (the one with only one door), and stand him in that room with his back to the door. That way, when you have a hostage you can take him to this safe room, and leave him, as any terrorists can't get in through the door because one of your men is protecting the door, but you can still get in and out.

Now bring another man in through the top floor, still leaving one man in the top right room protecting hostages you leave there. Now go forth and find the hostages! If there's a terrorist with a hostage behind him, DON'T shoot the terrorist as you will also kill the hostage. Instead run straight into the room and straight at the hostage/terrorist, so you and he occupy the same space. Don't stop, keep holding forward and you should be on the other side of the room, as the hostage follows you but the terrorist doesn't. BUT, doing this you have to be very QUICK! Now take the hostage to the top floor, the top right room, where your first man is on guard. Walk into this room and back out again, the hostage will stay there. Now you are free to go and get another one. Once all of the hostages have been successfully rescued, the game is over!
