RDZ - Raider Drop Zone is a two-player game of company, regimental and divisional combat action between the elite Terran Fleet Raider Forces and the dreaded alien Kraken. The game is set in the science-fiction universe of "Firepower Pass" (TM).
As a Terran Fleet Raider commander, you will drop your Raider companies using drop capsules. With the help of the Terran Fleet's planetary assault landing boats, you can station your supporting Medium Armor platoons, Combat Engineer platoons, and the sophisticated "Tunnel Detector" Ground Sonar sections. Coordinate your forces to root out and destroy the subterranean Kraken defenders.
As the Kraken Supreme Neuro-Director (The "Only Mind"), you will secretly coordinate your alien forces. These swarms include the "Dragoon" soldiers, the "Storm Armor" Heavy Weapon Vehicles, and the unarmed, but seemingly numberless Drone Legion mega-swarms, which will help defend your home world. By alternating between the Kraken's surprise surface raids and juggernaut assaults, you might be able to annihilate the soft-skinned invaders, or at the very least, inflict enough casualties to force them to withdraw...
