Each battle takes place on a horizontally scrolling battlefield viewed from the side. The main objective is to escort your convoy across the map and destroy the enemy headquarters while preventing the opposing convoy from doing the same.

The helicopter can fly around the battlefield, attack enemy units, and support friendly ground forces. Battles are built around repeated encounters and tactical decisions rather than a conventional adventure map, with victory determined by the survival and advance of the convoy.

Stay near the convoy instead of chasing distant targets. Remove threats that can damage it quickly, especially enemy aircraft and armored vehicles.

Use the terrain and scrolling view to approach dangerous positions carefully. A successful attack is usually more valuable when it opens a path for your ground units than when it merely produces isolated kills.
