OBJECTIVE
There are a total of 10 missions to complete to win the battle. Destroy all enemy tanks on a mission (completing the mission 100%) to move on to the next mission. More and faster enemy tanks, and an increasing number of hidden mines will be encountered as you progress through the higher levels.
You can move around the endless desert battlefield or stay where you are for a while and let the enemy find you. Hidden mines can make traveling across the desert a little tricky, but if your tank is moving, it will be more diffi- cult for the enemy missiles to hit. Also, you will be able to pick up additional ammunition as you manoeuver around the battlefield.

Around the desert, friendly tanks of both sizes can be found. These tanks are similar to ambulances and can repair your injured tank.
