Um, how do you do anything. And is this supposed to be just the trial version?

no, this is not the trial version, and if you read this post, you will learn to play [quote] If you selected 'keyboard' as your input mode (when you first started the exe, it should have asked you some set up questions), then the mouse won't work. Once you have filled in the registration fields, press either ctrl-P or alt-P.

I found it unplayable in keyboard only mode, so I deleted the game and started again setting 'mouse' to my input mode. I really want to use the joystick mode (how I used to play on the old Apple IIe in Rescue Raiders), but the game doesn't appear to recognise my joystick (digital arcade stick) and there don't appear to be any settings from within the game. Perhaps I need to use an analogue joystick... If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know.

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).

you also can use engineers to refuel / reload so you don't have to go clear back to base at a critical point.

Has anyone played this game over a LAN.
I actually own a purchased copy of it and just downloaded it as well.

The docs discuss playing over a modem - haven't tried over a LAN yet - anyone had success with that?

Thanks,
Kurt

PS: This was one of my old favorites on the Apple II. k:

Anyone has the manual? I used to have it but I can't find it anymore.

Unless I'm mistaken, the ingame help system says it all.

I like to read the story diaries again, not the how to play

I try to run it in XP and I get the monitor screen in a continuous scroll. How do I fix it so the
screen is stationary?
