The Q10 Tankbuster flies from the Allied base in the Mediterranean, heading towards 
various Tank movements in the War Theatres. Your mission is to seek out and destroy all 
hostile forces, using Armour Piercing shells to eliminate Tanks. Troop Carriers, and 
assorted Mobile Gun Placements.

The Q10 also possesses a Heavy Duty Oil-Cooled Machine Gun. situated at the front of the 
fuselage. This is activated to destroy hostile airborne craft, such as Fighters and 
Heat-Seeking Missiled Helicopters.

When a flying enemy machine carrying a sophisticated weapon system is shot down, a Weapon
System Icon is left behind which can be picked up by the Q10 Tankbuster. The first Icon 
collected gives the Q10 additional firepower above normal air space. The second Icon adds 
firepower below the Q10 Tankbuster.

Once the Q10 Tankbuster has full firepower, additional weapon Icons act as Cluster Bombs, 
destroying all enemy activity on the screen.

The end of every mission is marked by a confrontation with an enemy craft of awesome 
firepower.

The Q10 will be sent on a series of demanding missions, involving new battleground 
scenarios and various enemies that must be eliminated for mission success.

Prepare for fast action conflict....you are only allowed three errors of judgement for 
every mission....Best of Luck....
