The briefing

About this game

In Battle Valley, two nuclear weapons have been stolen by terrorists and hidden at opposite ends of the playing area. You may pursue them in either order while fighting the forces guarding each route.

The game combines aerial and ground-based action. Choose a helicopter or tank from the base, then return there to change vehicles. The helicopter can attack air-based enemies and repair bridges, while the tank provides an alternative way to advance.

You have 4000 seconds to complete the mission, with each lost life reducing the remaining time by 500 seconds.
