Storyline:
----------

2010: Ten years after a violant solar flare knocks out 99.5% of all
electrical equipment, about nine tenths of the population has died of
starvation, disease, or other related illness. Countries, desperate
and starving, fight each other to survive. Your country has located a
series of battle tanks that were stored underground, and thus shielded
from the EMP blast of 2k. Armed with new tools, your fleet attacks a
neighboring country - but meets opposition.

Gameplay:
---------

Gameplay is pretty simple. You adjust your angle, adjust your power,
move in position, choose your weapon, and fire. Then it is the next
players turn :-)

When you run out of fuel, you can choose the fuel icon and reload to
full fuel (20 points). Note it is still your turn when you do this.

When you health is low, you can choose the medikit icon and reload to
full health (100 points). Note it is still your turn when you do this.

After the battle ends, you return to the options screen. Both players
get extra money for completing the battle, and the winner gets a cash
bonus.

=============================

This is my first game, so don't have too high of expectations :-)
If I decide to make a future version, it will definately include
more features: AI, grayscale, cooler explosions, more elaborate
weapons, etc. Until then, enjoy!
