ONLY, SOME
WITH ENEMY PLANES ONLY, SOME WITH BOTH. TRAINING MISSIONS CONTAIN NO
ENEMY
MOTHERSHIPS AND THE ENEMY CANNOT DESTROY YOUR HOME BASE.
IN THE 8 INVASIONS YOU MUST PROTECT YOU HOME BASE OR LOSE YOUR COMPUTER
AND
WHATEVER FIGHTERS YOU STILL HAVE THERE.
WHEN YOU WIPE OUT ALL THE ENEMY FORCES OR WHEN THE ENEMY WIPES OUT ALL
YOUR

RETURNED TO BASE. LAUNCH AGAIN TO FACE EVEN MORE TANKS. USE YOUR
OVERHEAD RADAR
SCANNER TO SPOT YOUR TARGETS.
TANK TRAINING 2- YOU WILL BE LAUNCHED ONTO THE TAIL OF AN ENEMY PLANE.

PLANES. YOU

PLANES AND
TANKS TO DESTROY YOUR BASE. PROTECT YOUR BASE AND THE OUTLYING
INSTALLATIONS
