Ok
Here's the Breifing and Overview for Tankbusters V0.1 beta.
Overview
Welcome to Tankbusters 0.1 beta
Two teams battle it out to wipe out each other's stationary tank targets.
Destroy the enemy radar to make your attack more effective!
Destroy the enemy scud launcher to prevent counter attack!
Destroy their Anti Aircraft to cripple their defenses!
Will you launch your scud at the enemy?
Sneak in and deliver a satchel charge?
Or launch a full scale attack and see how it comes off?
The choice is up to you and your team.

Respawn rules
All units will respawn on death to their starting positions after a 5 second wait. All vehicles will respawn to thier starting positions after a 2 second wait.
Cyanide
Each player is issued with Cyanide capsules. This will cause violent death instantly and return you to your home base on respawn.
The winning outcome has nothing to do with how many times a player has died so do not be hesitant to use these capsules if you need to get back to base quickly.
Command Posts
Each team has a flag post in their base. When this is approached by a player from that team the player will receive 5 options in the action menu. Using the command post you are able to remote destruct your respawnable vehicles (3 cars, a truck and your chopper). They will be instantly transported back to base. (Warning! check that your teammates are not in the vehicle at the time of destruct order. heh heh!)
Fuel and Scud launchers
At the start of a game the scud missiles that are located in each base are not fueled. They cannot launch without fuel.
There is only one fuel truck on the island. This is located at the fuel dump indicated on the map.
If you can return the fuel truck to your home base and bring the truck within 5 meters of your scud launcher the fueling process will begin. It takes 5 minutes to fuel the scud missile and the missile will launch the moment fueling has completed. If the scud is destroyed before the fueling process has completed then no launch will occur. The scud launcher can be destroyed at any time during the game (it's probably best to catch it before it unloads it's cargo of mass destruction though!). Needless to say the result of a successful scud strike against your opponents will be a win game scenario. Tanks don't react well to large missile attacks.
Radar
Each team has radar coverage surrounding their bases. You will receive a warning alerting you that an enemy unit is within 500 meters of your base and another warning once the 250 meter threshold is breached.
Your radar is provided by your Radar boat. The location of your boat is also indicated on the map. If your boat is destroyed then your radar capability will be removed and no more warnings will be issued to your team.
Vehicle info
Your teams chopper has had it's teeth removed. No ammo is provided to your team for this vehicle. This vehicle is provided for transport purposes only.
Your Anti Aircraft vehicle has no fuel. Use this vehicle to defend your base. Of course if one of your team were to obtain a fuel truck from somewhere then your AA vehicle could be on the move in no time.
Tanks
Your tanks have crews in. You may see them bail out if your tanks are attacked. Be nice to them please they have a hell of a job. Your tanks have no fuel and are locked. They are not intended to be used as offensive or defensive weapons in this game. Only as targets.
That's it for a briefing!
Have fun and for God's sakes be careful out there!
p.s. Oh by the way. The civilians in these parts are very militant and may have gotten their hands on some rather nice equipment recently. I'm sure they stashed them away somewhere safe but if your team were to find them you might find yourselves at an advantage over your opponents.
Happy hunting.
I should be posting this Mission on the beta testing forum tonight. Depends how long getting the overview and breifing takes.
