Ok so I am continuing on with Battlezn. I decided to look over the manual again to see what it has Made it throgh half of it however found some good things. Reminded me of some more back story of the game. However, like I said before the manual does little to explain the whole technological advances except to blame it on the bio-metal. However, the final purpose of the game is to get enough bio-metal to win the Cold War on Earth. Also how the secret space army is formed is explained and why later presidential administration won't know about it. While the manua does a good job of explaining the american hardware it laks enough explanation of soviet harsware. It also introduces some hardware that I remember was developed during the eents of the game not before the begging of the game. Finally another part that i did not like were few pages of supposed officer in American Space Army discussing the hadware and repeatign what already has been stated. I'll look through the rest of the game's manual for the next time.

I also played the first mission few times over and came to conlcusion that is designed to be more of a continuation of tutorial and so far playing it on hard difficlty I could not figutre out how to lose. Well I lost few times but that was my own making and not that computer AI overpowered me. I tried few different things and finally I trie sniping the pilots int eh cockipts. I was able to get 3 of them (the main ones). Thereis a 4th one that appears later but due to travel on foot that sniping requires I would not have neough time to get all of them. However just plain shooting them using the different tanks was simple enought to destroy them.

I alos liked how the mission starts as the story told after the fact by the soldier about what really happened. The moon lander is showna and than an American base right behind a rock. Althought eh moon lander looks slightly too small, I think.
