Nice. I was 3 for 3 on Level 2. I got bored so I started practising direct-fire on the near targets.

I’ve gotten through 9 levels pretty easily so far. It is WAY cool.

Thanks for posting it.

I dunno. Round 10 score 71,800? Is that good?

Not bad for a grunt turned tread head!

“A break from the political stuff.”

Political stuff?

Are there political campaigns?

Am I missing something?

Yes...this was refreshing!

Thanks! ;)

The is the old MS-DOS 'Scorched Earth' on steroids! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just took out the bunker on my second shot out of the gate. Looks like this old cannon cocker still knows his azimuth from a hole in the ground. ;-)

HA! It only took me seven shots in the first round to find my range and take out all three targets.

The trick is to set the velocity to 100 and then vary the elevation. On a couple you have to loser the velocity to hit the nearest object.
