Thanks much to George, EvilBill, and Fan1 for advice.

Using No Target isn't sporting. I want to get through without
cheating.

Mines and grenades would be cool if they would reach the Medic from
hell on the balcony above. I I don't take him out, he just keeps
making Stroggs from thin air. There's also a turret chapping my ass
when I'm out in the open.

I did get through it now, using a couple of well placed BFG rounds. My
solution was to pull the trigger before I broke cover and get the time
delay right while it charged. Then run for cover again. After 2
rounds the Medic was feet up and I could deal with the survivors. Not
too expensive. Thanks again for the moral support. Kill Stroggs.

Best,
Tom

I'd forgotten about the medic, they are a pain aren't they?
