Iron Soldier [Model J9026E]

* GETTING THROUGH A MISSION
- Read the Briefing carefully so you know what you must do to complete a level. It may take you a few tries before you figure out exactly where and what your objectives are.
- Choose your weapons carefully.
- Try breaking open buildings and remember what kind of crates are in them if any.
- If you can't solve a mission, try taking a different route. There are many ways to go, some are easier and faster than others.
- Enemies that move quickly are easier to hit if you fire just in front of them, so they move into your shots. This is called leading the target.

* FIGHTING TANKS
- Use buildings for cover. Don't stand out in the open, or you will be surrounded.
- You can often kill tanks by hiding from them until very close, then stepping on them!
- You can kill tanks at long range with the rocket launcher - aim just a little bit high when doing this.
- You can shoot tanks at close range with the Gatling Gun, but aim low to stop any rockets they may fire.
- When fighting the Heavy Tank, avoid it until it is close, then cut it up with a Chain Cutter.

* FIGHTING HELICOPTERS AND V.T.O.L.s
- Use the gatling gun at close range. Hide in skyscrapers, and watch your radar. When they come around the corner, blast 'em!
- If you catch a V.T.O.L. on the ground, don't get too close - shoot it with the Rail Cannon or Rifle before it takes off.
- Try to get the V.T.O.L.s to drop bombs on fuel tanks - they'll blow themselvers up!
- Be sure to kill V.T.O.L.s before they get too close.

* AVOIDING ROCKETS
- You can shoot down rockets with the Gatling Gun, but it is safer to dodge them.
- Watch the rockets on the radar and move perpendicular to their flight path to avoid them.
- Be sure not to get too close to rocket launchers.
- The rail cannon will destroy rocket launchers at long range. Rockets do a lot of damage, so be careful!

* FIGHTING SHIPS
- If the ships are close enough to shore, use grenades.
- Ships have good side armor, so rockets aren't too effective.
- The ships fire at you if you get close, but it only takes two well-placed grenades to destroy a ship. Otherwise, it takes about 15 rockets.

* FIGHTING IS UNITS
- Try to use cover.
- If you have rockets, try to fire them when the enemy IS is not shooting at you.
- Throw grenades as accurately as possible, leading the target some since the Grenades are slow.
- Most IS units stop firing if you get in close enough, but watch out for their punch!
- Use your fists or the Chain Cutter at close range, and back up a little bit when you think it's going to punch you. Then move back in again if it turns away from you.
