I have almost finished this level. However, I am a little stuck. I am at the stage of the mission where you have to defend the hill against the counter attack. I only have maybe 7 men left.

I noticed in one of the popup hints that in this level you can recruit soldiers. I loaded up a prior save game and moved close to various soldiers but never got the hand icon to recruit any of them.

Was anyone able to recruit extra men?

I don't think there are mines on this level because that would have helped with the hill defense.
