Arghh, I love this game.
Was one of my all time favorites as a youngun, I remeber going on holiday once (and obviously not being able to play the game for a week), that I missed it so much I used to design convoys on paper to keep myself occupied (eg tank, tank, missile launcher, infantry, van, van.)
I cant believe it only got 4.
At least worth a 5. The gameplay is such a unique mix of strategy and arcade.
NB. The Manual has one of the best story lines I think I have ever read in a game, it's about an 'ol tanker' veteran who writes an entry in his diary before each battle, giving you mission tips and stuff. But the way he becomes dissolusioned with war as the missions progress is fantasic. I will try track down my copy of the maunal, and scan it, so it can be put on the site. It is well worth the read.
Tips:
Try play the game on armogeddon skill level. The game is much harder but you start with cooler weapons (such as unguided rockets and napalm bombs)
If you play multiplayer, always go green if you can as the green helicopter is slightly faster than the grey one.
To kill the enemy coppter, dont use missiles, use bombs. Fly above it and drop a bomb on it. Use your missiles for enemy tanks and bunkers (fly close to the ground and fire them).
