************************************************************
Secret Weapons of the Nachtjagdkorps (SWOTN) is complete!   
************************************************************
To all my GROUP testers (you know who you are), I will be   
mailing Monday after I write the docs this weekend. My      
Little Rock testing team has helped find and eliminate all  
the obvious errors, so perhaps you won't <<Find out More >>>
have much work to do <g>. For all those that want a copy,   
but can't use long distance to call a BBS, here's what to do
to get your copy (once all my testers report back):         
1. Mail 1 HD disk (any size) or 3 LD disks (any size) to:   
  Tom Dungan                                                
  6605 Curry Court                                          
  N.Little Rock, AR 72116                                   
2. YOU MUST INCLUDE RETURN POSTAGE or else I cannot return  
the disks (I'm a poor college student <g>! I believe        
2x29-cent stamps do the trick.                              
3. Let me know whether or not you have SWOTL Manager 2.1. >>
Anthony Shimizu has graciously allowed me to distribute this
accessory with SWOTN, as it greatly improves gameplay.      
4. Let me know whether or not you have BOB. If not, I'll    
supply the extra graphics taken from that game.             
Suggestion to all downloaders: SWOTN is BIG! Because of all 
the new interior view camo jobs, SWOTN has swelled to over  
800K. This large of an item may not be practical for D/Ling,
so consider the mail-in option.                             
If I know our postal service <g>, SWOTN will be completely  
tested and debugged by the time your disks get here and I'm 
ready to send them back, so MAIL NOW! <<What you Get>>>>>>>>

70 missions <!> come with game, all accessed through the    
"Historical Missions" menu. All missions are based on actual
historical events or typical procedures, or, in the case of 
the "secret weapons," missions are based upon an airplane's

probable methods of employment. For the Germans, missions   
are divided evenly between "Bomber killing," and "fighter   
vs. fighter." Bomber kills are harder than SWOTL, however,  
because of a) visibility (4 kinds!), b) speed of the        
Lancaster, and c) better bomber orders. Schrage Musik is    
present when appropriate. There are rules for using radar   
(the map <G>). Unless you fly a bomber mission, you almost  
always fly alone - an additional problem. Tactics such as   
Himmelbett boxes, Wild Boar, Tame Boar, Intruder techniques,
target marking, and schrage musik usage are covered. Every  
plane has training missions. The breifing map has names     
changed everywhere: Real German night-fighter bases, real   
night targets like the Mohne Dam, Bielefeld Viaduct,        
Dresden, St.Trond AF, Stade AF, etc. The campaign game is   
fully functional (except for a problem with Ju88s that can  
be gotten around) and includes stats for civilian morale and
labor force levels.
