General:
** New Feature **
-New Game: Press Command-'N' or choose New Game from the File menu.  When starting a new game you will be given the opportunity to start at any raid you had made it to previously, thus once you get to the fourth level you can always start at the fourth level.  The supplies awarded will be based on 66% of the highest supply total you had when getting to the raid in previous games (this total will include the cost of all equipment currently owned, but not equipment lost previously).  So, what does this mean?  It pays to play to improve the number of supplies earned (the easier it will be to start at higher levels).  Additionally, starting too high may not give a player the supplies needed to make it through a tough level.  BTW, the highest score achieved going into the selected level is shown, so you know how much you are giving up.  This score is NOT given to you at the level's start, you do always start at zero.

** New Feature **
-Resume Game:  Choose Resume Game from the File menu.  You will be able to resume any suspended game.  Once resumed a game can not be resume again, but can be saved at a later stage in the game and then resume from there.

-Quit:  Press Command-'Q' or Quit from the File menu at the Triple-A main screen to quit Triple-A.
