Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a military flight simulation game where players assume the role of a U.N. Air Force commander tasked with executing Operation Corrado. To halt the aggressive expansion of the hostile Zaraki forces, players must pilot aircraft and carry out strategic interdiction missions to cripple the enemy's military capabilities.
Story
The Conflict
Zaraki forces rolled over Sweit! With firm control over Sweit's territory they set their eyes on oil rich, Saudi Ababeia. Despite continued U.N. negotiations Zarak refuses to withdraw.
With world outrage mounting, the U.N. sets a time limit for Zarak to retreat. Zarak ignores the U.N. ultimatum and reinforces its conquest. Strange behavior, even for a desert dictatorship. Could there be a Superpower providing covert aide?
Regardless, there's no alternative left except interdiction.
Your Mission
You are the commander of U.N. Air Forces. It's your responsibility to implement Operation Corrado and cripple the enemy to end the war quickly.
Good luck.
*Note: This game is based on fiction. The names that appear in this game have nothing to do with any existing entities.*

•
you are low on fuel.

•

Debriefing
After returning from a sortie you will go through a debriefing session. Debriefing will allow you to evaluate your performance and its effect on the war.
Air Strike Patrol is more than a shooting game. To win you have to defeat the enemy on the battlefield and in the political and economic arena as well. The F.E.P. points measure your level of success.
•
FORCE: Indicates your current military strength. Force points change in value depending upon the number of targets you destroy. Force points decrease when you get shot down or damaged.
•
ECONOMY: Indicates your financial strength. War isn't cheap and each sortie costs money. Use your gun or cannon to destroy enemies and increase the efficiency of your missions. Destroying Allied forces and damage to your aircraft decreases your Economy points. Be careful.
•
POLITICS: Indicates the support for the war. Bombing civilian targets decreases your political points. Watch out for collateral damage. Increase your Political points by preforming perfect missions.
These points are important. You are evaluated by the average of these three areas. As such, you must achieve a balance to realize better results.
Debriefing Points
•
Damage points: Indicates damage to U.N. forces and civilians. The U.N. must rebuild damage to civilians.

•

Options
Allows you several choices during game play, including saving the game, changing control or button configurations, and adjusting sound modes.
Tactics
Strategic guidelines and performance metrics, such as destruction rate and allied attacks, to help you successfully complete the game's eight missions.
General Strategy
Destroy anti-aircraft sites first using the maverick missile, monitor your threat indicator, and verify mission success on the area map after returning to base.
Mission 1
Blind the enemy by destroying 10 radar sites, using both the A-10 and F-15 to familiarize yourself with their capabilities.
Mission 2
Stop Scud missiles by finding and destroying launchers scattered over two target areas, using the A-10 to maximize your flight range.
Mission 3
Halt Zaraki Forces by destroying pumping stations, using the F-15 to take out AA first and the A-10 to destroy the stations.
Mission 4
Gain air superiority by destroying enemy air bases defended by MiG 29s and AA. Take out at least 5 MiGs using an F-15 with Sidewinders, then use an A-10 with cluster bombs to clean up the bases.
Mission 5
Target the Zaraki infantry staging areas, starting with the enemy at the gulf harbor, to stop the flow of oil into the gulf. Pinpoint precision is required to avoid destroying the facilities you are trying to save.
Mission 6
Destroy eight chemical warfare factories within four sorties and a limited amount of time. Destroy the AA first, then carpet the buildings with cluster bombs.
Mission 7
Fly an A-10 through the enemy capitol and use the GAU-8 cannon to destroy the elite Zaraki Red Guard armor. Using the GAU-8 allows for accurate targeting without harming friendly forces or civilians.
Mission 8
All intelligence regarding this mission is highly classified, and you will be briefed on a need to know basis.
