One of NMK's last games, which received a limited-arcade release in 1995. It also has a great heli-piledriver scoring system that is sure to give it some great replayability.
I'll divide scores by Beginner, Average, and Expert courses.

Beginner Course: Operation Crazy Horse


Average Course: Operation Sandstorm


Expert Course: Operation Bloody Rose

shitty expert clear; lol'd at getting another armor repair after the clear bonus being so high ( 5 million)

Expert:
maximo- 10,090,200-ALL - Autofire(30hz)- ARCADE 0.195

-Cobbled a half-decent run by milking a few key spots ( train stations in stg1, hangars in stg 2, warehouses in stg 4, and warehouses+tanks in stg 5). Still got hit by the final boss near the end, and I need to figure out how to get the armor repair to consistently appear in stage 3. My route in stage 2 can also be improved by keeping the 10k bonus. One of these days....

A great snack-size game. I played it safe, to the point that I was low on fuel at several points...but that helped manage the amount of chaos on screen at once.
