The Third Force 

By Mike Lilly and Brent Doughty

* Background: "The battle between the Soviets and 
Americans hurt a lot of people. Friends, families, 
loved ones... It didn't matter to the recruiting 
office anymore. Both sides needed more people to fight, 
and more people to die. They even started taking our 
daughters. I guess that is when we knew it was going to 
happen. When our enemies became our allies just so the 
killing would stop. It is ironic now that we have chosen 
to kill whom we were once told to kill for. A balance 
must be made for our future generations, and we are here 
to see it happens..." - Taken from the journals of 
the Rebel leader. Author Unknown.

* Current Mission as Rebels: 

       Briefing: Welcome to the moon... Our battle starts
here. Since the creation of the Rebels, we have been 
making bases around the "Super Powers" main lunar base. If 
we could take this area, we could take the entire moon. We 
have three camps in place. Losing them could end everything 
we have done so far. Base location one is located behind the 
snake like mountain range. There are two valleys within the 
range where we could cross and launch an attack. Our second 
base location is found behind the chain of mountains around 
the base. This base gives little protection, but allows 
cover all the way up to the door of the "Super Powers" base. 
Base location three is behind the second largest mountain in 
the area, behind that of the base we wish to attack. This 
hides our activities quite well from the outside world and is 
our current location. We've just finished carving a passage 
through the rock allowing a short straight path to their base. 
You will be chosen to lead one of our armies. If you can't find 
more generals, you will have to go it alone. That is up to you. 
A meteor has taken out one of their gun turret stands, and it is 
believed that they have been forced to rebuild due to their 
change in space.

       Mission: Regardless of the base you are assigned, you must 
take the hill. There are two paths leading up to the top of the hill 
where the "Super Powers" are stationed. Build up your area, and begin 
advancement. If you are able to kill the outpost highest general, 
the rest will surely surrender.

* Current Mission as "Super Powers":

       Briefing: Intelligence has confirmed our worse fear... A third 
force has come of age. Little is known about this new group, except they 
are vigilantes from both sides. We have also found out that they plan 
to take the moon. We have little fear of defeat since our resources 
are compact and plentiful. Digging for scrap continues in our quarry 
despite the latest damage done by the meteor. There has been quite a 
bit of structural damage done to the right gun stand. Much more then we 
could ever repair. Since the hit, we've been forced to start over from 
nothing. Space is now becoming a problem. The good news is, the meteor 
was full of scrap metal we can use. We've heard the drilling in a near by 
mountainside, so we believe the enemy could be near. That means we are 
going to have to act fast. If they take this base, we might as well start 
looking for a new rock to call home...

       Mission: Rebuild our mountaintop home to it's former glory and then 
set out to destroy the enemy. There are rumored to be up to three generals. 
Kill them all.
