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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------- Welcome to Henderson Field -------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------ Welcome to Dulles International Airport -------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------- Welcome to Bubba's Airstrip -----------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------ Welcome to the Weedsport Airport --------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------ Welcome to Sweetly Bending Oak Aircraft Park --------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
