- Milk Runs (Easy)
- This theater of operations consists of
- many easy missions for the user who is
- not yet familiar with the game. The
- missions are created to show the variety
- of object types without the frustration
- of getting shot out of the sky minutes
- after taking off.

-
-
- Mission Code Name : Gimme Shelter
- Direction : South East
- Distance : 14 miles
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The set up consists of an almost enclosed orb, with some fuel dumps
- and tets scattered around some haphazard walls. There's some mediocre
- KLA sites and AAA as active defense. Your objective is to nail the
- TRFRU and Fuelers.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Litter Boxes
- Direction : North East
- Distance : 7 miles
- Difficulty : 5
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is perhaps your first really difficult assignment. We've got an
- orb holed up in a tight fortress of forcefields, perhaps untouchable.
- It is defended by some bumble bees and 4 toughie AAA batteries.
- This orb looks like a good target for the ground forces, since it may
- be too well protected from air attack. In this case it's the fuel and
- TRFRU we are after. The defenses here are strong, and it may take some
- fancy flying to get them all. Take your time, and stay away from the
- AAA in the center.

-
- Mission Code Name : Devil's Aquarium
- Direction : West
- Distance : 3 miles
- Difficulty : 5
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- We've got a real problem on our hands. Just west of this airfield
- a gathering of enemy forces has grown until the threat is too great to
- ignore. Since lately we have been concentrating mostly on resource
- targets, until now we have ignored the piecemeal concentrations to our
- west side.
- But recently the enemy defenses have grown to the point where they
- cannot be ignored. Enemy missiles our attacking our planes on the
- ground, and the AAA batteries our playing havoc with all flights to our
- neighboring airfields.
- Your mission is to take out all the AAA and KLA sites in the area.
- Don't hesitate to break off, and try to make it back to save your
- plane. You can always come back to fight another day.

-
- Mission Code Name : Demolition Derby
- Direction : East North East
- Distance : 9 miles
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rescue operations have been hampered by the development of a group
- of enemy ground transport sites located to the east of here. Your
- mission is to finish off all vehicles and vehicle sites ( wire frame
- triangles on ground). They are defended by three missile launchers,
- so keep an eye on your six while you chase down those shopping carts.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Elevator Shaft
- Direction : North
- Distance : 13 miles
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In the never ending quest for a good arrangement for passive defense,
- our enemies have erected an ugly challenge for our pilots. We don't
- know what they will eventually construct at this site, and we hope to
- eradicate this gathering from the map before we find out.
- Take out the generator orb. It is protected by force field and AAA
- batteries. If you don't feel like flying down the throat of the
- smokestack, try making high altitude dive bombing runs, and pull off
- before you end up flying down the shaft.

-
- Mission Code Name : Sleeping Dragons
- Direction : West
- Distance : 11 miles
- Difficulty : 4
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To the west is a fuel dump facility which needs to be taken out.
- Use caution when firing, some booby traps may be triggered by your
- fire.
- Two missile launchers provide active defense for this target. These
- appear to be better than typical KLA sites, so keep alert and don't
- let any deathballs sneak up on your tail.
- Although your mission objective is the fuel, it might be a good idea
- to take out the orb first, so you have a better chance of a clean shot
- at the dumps.

-
- Mission Code Name : Leggo my Eggo
- Direction : East North East
- Distance : 14 miles
- Difficulty : 5
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Intelligence has determined that several of the enemies top technical
- military AI units have been loaded onto a saucer to the East of here.
- At some point we think they are abandoning this theater of operations
- for a more secure area.
- Your job is to show them just how insecure this area is for them.
- Blow that saucer to smithereens. We have reason to believe that they
- are still in the process of loading the airship, so get in there and
- get as many shots in as you can before it lifts off.
- Enemy defenses are heavier than normal. The defense of the area is
- based on force fields, AAA, and KLA sites.

- Available Missions:
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Canal Lock
- Direction : North
- Distance : 6 miles
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Take out an orb which is protected by both balloons and force fields.
- There is some tofu there which should be taken out, but your main
- objective in this mission is to take out the generator orb.
- This is a mission where there is an obvious choice of attack.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Flaming Frisbee
- Direction : South South East
- Distance : 8 miles
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Ground observers have spotted 3 saucers flying at low altitude about
- 8 miles west from our position. You may have run across them already
- if you flew here from Sweetly Bending.
- Your mission is to take at least one of the three out. They don't
- appear to be the lowest of quality, so be prepared to evade any KLA's
- which they may launch at you.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Hot Tin Roof
- Direction : East
- Distance : 8 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The enemies are getting a little more clever about force field
- placement. Here it is difficult to get a shot in from the top, so you
- must come in at about 1000 ft.
- Your mission objective is to go after the ticks and tets, but here
- I would take out the generator station first, so that those force fields
- will drop.

- ----------------- Welcome to RDU ^international Airport ----------------
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Center of Attention
- Direction : South
- Distance : 9 mile
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Some ground based AAA has been forcing routine flights between here
- and Weedsport to follow an inconvenient course. If you have flown here
- from Weedsport, you will have seen it. This thorn in our side must be
- removed ASAP in order to keep our supply lines open.
- Your secondary target is the orb, which seems to be what the AAA is
- guarding.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Sleeping Dogs
- Direction : West North West
- Distance : 13 mile
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This mission could be a more than it appears. As far as we can tell,
- it looks like another fuel dump situated around an unprotected orb.
- However, you are the third pilot we've sent out against this site, so
- we are warning you now to be cautious, and be ready for anything.
- One note:
- Upon closer investigation, recon planes have determined that some
- of the fuel dumps appear to be smaller in size, and blink occasionally.
- They appear to be harmless, since even a low pass by the unarmed recon
- plane did not initiate any enemy reaction whatsoever.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : SaucerWorks
- Direction : North North East
- Distance : 8 mile
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The number of enemy bombing raids in our area has stepped up
- dramatically in recent weeks. The source seems to be coming from a
- site located 8 miles north of here. Eliminate all the saucer launch
- facilities there, and clean up all the airborne saucers you can find.
- Beware of a new kind of passive defense which looks like a cloud
- of bumble bees. It may look relatively harmless, but the unwary pilot
- may get stung.
- Make sure none of the saucers head our way, and keep an eye on your
- tail for saucer launched enemy missiles.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Smoking Pursuit
- Direction : East North East
- Distance : 10 mile
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A small fledgling full storage facility has begun operation out in
- the eastern quadrant. These are apparently guarded by four missile
- sites, the quality of which varies from dumb to mediocre. Also they
- have placed 4 force fields in the area.
- We have evidence to suggest that the enemies' own missiles are not
- immune to the force fields. A possible technique to shake persistent
- deathballs might be to let them run through their own defenses.
- Your mission objective is to demolish all of the enemy fuel reserve
- tanks. You may take out the orb and KLA sites if you wish.

- --------------- Welcome to Crickety Point Landing Strip ----------------
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Mission Code Name : FireFly
- Direction : West South West
- Distance : 9 miles
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A swarm of tets is hovering over an orb about 9 miles west of here.
- This is being protected by three ground based AAA sites. It might be
- a good idea to take out the AAA before digging into the tofu.
- The primary mission objective, however, is to blast those tets out of
- the sky.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Tearjerker
- Direction : North
- Distance : 7 miles
- Difficulty : 4
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To the north is a gathering of 4 AAA sites, and 4 KLA sites. In the
- center is an orb, and hung up in air are three force fields. We think
- the enemy is planning to construct some bomber sites, or perhaps another
- fuel storage facility there.
- Your job is to take out the AAA and dball sites now, before the
- defenses can be strengthened more. The force fields possibly can be
- used to our advantage, so the orb may not be the place to start
- unleashing your fury.

-
-
- Available Missions:
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Dead Cookie
- Direction : North
- Distance : 1 mile
- Difficulty : 1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- An enemy saucer has been sighted north of the airport. Head straight
- for it right after takeoff. Saucers are tough cookies, so don't be
- sparing with the missiles. This saucer looks like one of the dumber ones,
- so it should be a piece of cake. Bear in mind that even these dumb ones
- have been known to make bombing runs against our airfields.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Splintered Spinners
- Direction : West
- Distance : 5 miles
- Difficulty : 1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To the west is a small gathering of virtually unprotected enemy
- structures. At approximately 3000 ft is a set of spinning devices
- thought to be used for spy purposes. Take these out, but be careful to
- avoid colliding with the platform beneath the devices.
- On the surface below is a generator orb. It is destroyable, but at
- this point we should leave that target for the ground forces.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Rebouncer
- Direction : South South East
- Distance : 10 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To the south is a platformed orb at about 1000 ft. Balloon defenses
- are it's only protection. The balloons appear to be indestructible,
- but they stop ordinance, and flying through them doesn't appear to be
- a good idea.
- Take your time and take aim at the orb from far away, and come in
- blasting with guns and missiles. Those orbs can take over 70 hits,
- so have some patience and be prepared to make many passes.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Tofu Sandwich
- Direction : North North East
- Distance : 13 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Here is another spying attempt, which we hope you can eliminate without
- too much trouble. They've decided to protect their tets ( the official
- name is Tetrahedral RF receiving units, or TRFRU ) with force fields.
- Apparently they could not enclose the TRFRU's completely without
- hampering the performance of the detectors. So what they've done is
- make a big tofu sandwich, and your job is to eat it.
- If you take out the generator orb, the shields will drop, but at this
- point, we recommend you leave this orb for the army.

- Mission Code Name : Topsy Turvy
- Direction : West North West:
- Distance : 10 miles
- Difficulty : 1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Another saucer has been sighted, this one may be the type to launch
- some defenses. It was last seen heading out west at low altitude, but
- climbing. They have been known to loop around and make a bombing run,
- but these things are pretty much unpredictable.
- Look for a low flying blinking dot off to the west. It may take some
- flying before it shows up.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Mission Code Name : Spitting Turtle
- Direction : West South West:
- Distance : 8 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Intelligence reports the first sighting of fixed active defense
- in use by the enemy forces. There are four triple-A batteries guarding
- a solitary tofu. The ever-present generator orb holds up the platform.
- At present, those AAA sites are the biggest threat to our air
- superiority. Take out these sites as the top priority, then take out
- the tet if you desire (that is, if the enemy hasn't destroyed it with
- his own artillery. The orb can be destroyed if you wish, but it is not
- a mission objective.
- Remember that with AAA, the best defense is a good offense. Keep
- those guns blasting away, because your hail of bullets can explode the
- AA shells before they reach you. If your plane gets damaged, consider
- your position carefully. You may want to return to fight another day,
- as there are so few planes available in this sector. They are a
- precious resource.

-
- Mission Code Name : Lover's Leap
- Direction : North
- Distance : 3 miles
- Difficulty : 3
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The aliens have confused us again. During the night they have
- erected some kind of new apparatus. They have set up a force field and
- generator, but also some kind of strange small blue octangonaloid.
- We saw a saucer fly through it, our eggheads became very excited.
- Anyway, what we need is a volunteer to fly through it. The scientists
- claim it will not kill you instantly (Thanks a lot, guys), but how they
- can tell from here, I don't know.
- Behind the experimental grid is a regular force field, there may not
- be enough room to pull away from that force field after getting through
- the grid, but your plane should survive well enough to get back to
- base so we can analyze your plane. Also, note your altitude before
- you go in, the men in the white coats want to know every detail.
- No shooting is necessary in this mission. Just fly in slowly with
- your flaps engaged, and try to get the plane to fly through the small
- blue rectangle, then turn and come back to base.
- The target looks like a small sky-blue rectangle with shorn corners.
- It is suspended at a low altitude (maybe 500ft) in front of a large
- force field. Approach from the south, heading due north. Use the two
- grounded tets on the ground as cues to help you line up. You might
- want to use the flaps to slow your air speed to give you more
- maneuverability. Keep your nose pointed slightly above the target, or
- you'll find yourself too low at the last minute.
- Your secondary mission objective is to kill the generator orb which
- powers the force field. You might want to save this for later on when
- you have more skill taking out ground targets. These secondary
- missions must be completed before claiming a theater complete.

- Mission Code Name : Apple Pie
- Direction : East
- Distance : 4 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Here's a chance to catch the buggers with their pants down. As we
- speak, our spherical friends are trying to get a new structure set up
- to the east of us. So far all they have managed to string together is
- two orbs in tandem, and one misplaced force field. By the time the
- ground forces could get there, they may well have had a change to get
- some formidable defenses together, so it's up to us.
- The orbs are undefended, and mounted on the ground. Watch your
- altitude when attacking ground targets, it is by far the most common
- cause of death for younger pilots. When the altitude warning light
- comes on, pull up hard!

- Mission Code Name : Birds of Prey
- Direction : East
- Distance : 10 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This will be perhaps your first experience with KLA's. A KLA is a
- Kinetic Locking Antiaircraft Missile Defense, with the MD dropped for
- brevity. ( Also called 'Kevin's Little Angels after Kevin McDoodle,
- the first pilot to be blown out of the sky by one. )
- KLA's are simplistic enemy smart missiles which lock on to your
- tail. When the get a lock on you, they light their afterburners at
- come at you at full speed. When a KLA is locked, you can tell because
- the outside color of the whole missile flashes. Your onboard radar
- system tracks them ( The display will represent them as light green
- dots)
- Anyway, to the east is an orb with two missile sights mounted on a
- light purple platform. Intelligence indicates that these KLA sites are
- an older model, and you should be able to out maneuver them easily.
- The sites look like small rings, suspended not far above the platform.
- Your primary mission is to take out these sites. They quite hardened,
- so be prepared to make many passes using guns and missiles. Your
- secondary mission is to take out the orb.

- Mission Code Name : Patty Cake Maker
- Direction : North
- Distance : 10 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Intelligence has identified a possible site which is launching saucers.
- There is already at least one saucer in the vicinity, and as their
- numbers multiply, our airfields are in graver danger. Your mission is
- to destroy this saucer site.
- A saucer site looks like a shallow square pan with an 'X' in the
- bottom. As with other sites it is reasonable tough. This particular
- site is suspended over an orb on a small platform. There are two AAA
- batteries there to protect it.
- First take out the site, unless it looks like the saucer may be
- heading our way. Once the site is gone, then clean up an saucers left
- in the air. Of course the orb is an optional secondary target.

- Mission Code Name : Kuwait's Revenge
- Direction : West
- Distance : 8 miles
- Difficulty : 2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- These aliens have much to learn about defending their resources. To
- the west is fuel storage facility which seems to be unguarded. Unlike
- your other targets so far, these fuel dumps are located on the ground.
- The most important lesson for this CBM ( Confidence Building Mission)
- is to watch your altitude.
- Fuel dumps are spheres with girder structure around the perimeter.
- They blow fairly easily with a few missile hits. Your mission is to
- blow all their stored fuel to kingdom come. When your CMPLT light
- signifies the mission end, you should be leaving behind a nice
- collection of smoking wreckage.
