Yep just sulfur no arsine oil......too many experimental items to come out of the old heavy rubber Huntsville lingerie ......

We used basics of det cord and fuel after venting with a Mk 2 shape. Even got too experiment with solvated electron technology a wee bit........not real good stuff for the CW crap. Made uxo a non hazardous waste though. Real good for restoration efforts !

Last night I got through all 15 rounds (on a couple of them I had to take out a final target with one shot on my final artillery round), and finished with a score of 92,500 or something like that.

46300

Thanks dynachrome.

4th attempt. Round 11 score 103,000 & I nailed the hovering chopper. This durn game is addictive. Best part about it is that I can play it on a break and the school filters think I'm hanging out at the Discovery Channel! What a dedicated teacher of Social Studies I am!

I sent the “game” as an email attachment to several folks at Ft Knox this morning. So far the best results is level 14 and a score of 141,000 achieved by a SFC signal corps type. It only took him about two hours to get to that point. He sent me a screen shot of the score if anyone is doubting I will send it to you.

[Squantos]

LOL.......I spent a few on it as well and got the hang of it with poor boy bracket, kentucky windage stuff.

I think sit rep used to have such a game ........

Stay safe !

I finally think I'm stymied at round 14. I got the choppers on a regular basis, but the disappearing ICBM has got me stumped, I have to admit!

[Mr. Silverback]

I just won level 15...that’s 160,000 points! Kiss the Ring!

[ExSoldier]

I'll be really impressed when you can show that you get the disappearing ICBM every time or close thereto. Until then it was a lucky shot. STILL, CONGRATS! Lucky shot or not. I SALUTE you, sir! But I kneel to only ONE.

[Mr. Silverback]

Disappearing ICBM? Didn’t see one...but I was surprised how easily I killed that chopper.

[ExSoldier]

Yeah, the chopper's look intimidating, but the ICBM rises up from a silo and then sinks back into the silo and the lid closes. Time on target is almost impossible to figure since it is the furthest target and behind a couple of ridges, necessitating a high angle of fire.

[KC_Conspirator]

I am actually pretty good!

[Mr. Silverback]

Weird, I never saw it...I guess that’s why I was able to win, and why the 13th level seemed to be the hardest.

Guess nobody should be kissing the ring!

[SLB]

Level 15 and 184,900. The ICBMs were not that hard. Just let them rise up and go down a few times to get the rhythm.

[ExSoldier]

I finally cleared the game, too. Around 150,000 points total. Yup, the ICBMs have a regular "timing" to them. You just have to figure the time to open the lid and fire right before that happens so you can catch the thing as it hangs at full extension. This info is for the folks still hung up. lol

[BluH2o]

Thru 5 rounds score 29300 ...

[The Drowning Witch]

AWESOME game. I made it to round 10, and missed advancing by ONE target...86,600 final score.
