|+3On the left you will see a grid map of sector B18. Your dropzone is in
the lower center. to move the INTREPID, first click on the Compass button.
you will be given the eight direction NAV-COM controls. Select the direction
you wish to move and click the Confirm button. You will then move into the
seclected coordinate. This takes one unit of fuel and five minutes. The
INTREPID can move one grid per turn, including diagonal.|r1

|+3Your PROBE can move independently of the INTREPID by utilizing the Probe
controls. Click on the Probe button and you are shown the eight direction
Probe controls. Now select the destination for the probe. The SEARCH:
message is sent by the probe giving you an exact report of the grid the
probe is in (i.e. a Search: 7 would mean there are seven enemy units in
that grid). If the probe is in the same grid as the INTREPID it is
considered docked and will move with the INTREPID until given an independent
destination. The ATP PROBE is capable of going two grids per turn.
|e

|+3Now click the Confirm button and both vehicles will move to their
respective destinations. If you have made no movement of the tank or probe,
the Confirm button will let out a gronk sound, telling you to check your 
settings. You may move only the Probe if you wish to conserve fuel, but 
time is still consumed and there is the chance of an enemy ambush on your 
idle tank.|r1

|+3As you move your vehicles, the radar will detect what is directly
adjacent to them and will update the info to your map. Using your INTREPID
and ATP PROBE in tandem you will be able to search the landscape quickly.
Use the KEY button for info regarding the icons on the map.

|+3Through the MIS-COM you will be able to access critical information
concerning your mission. It is imperitive that you read these files
closely. Use the ARROW buttons to move through the databank. Click the

|c1|f2|t1COMBAT|c9|f1|t0|r1

|+3Upon moving your INTREPID into an occupied grid you will automatically
be taken to your gun controls. The INTREPID is mounted with a high power
semi-automatic mini cannon. This should prove quite effective against
ground troops. Once in combat you have two choices. One, to eliminate all
enemy soldiers and clear the grid. Doing this will return you to the Main
Controls with the appropriate changes made in the gauges. Your second
choice is to retreat. This is quite dangerous in that many of the enemy
soldiers are able to take a last potshot at you as you escape. Retreating
should only be done when completely neccessary. To retreat hit the RED
button in the lower left.|r1

|+3Combat, as well as retreat, takes about 5-10 minutes.
