[. . . ] Intercept applies only to a specific flight. To earn the points, at least the specified number of aircraft in the flight must be shot down. Enter the number of points to be awarded when the victory condition is fulfilled. If the point value entered is negative, the assigned team will lose points. You can also add victory conditions by right-clicking on targets directly on the map and selecting "Add Victory Condition" from the menu. SAVE AND RESTORE To save an engagement, click on the Save option on the left side of the screen. You can save your engagement at any point as you edit.

Whatever successes or failures that occurred during the mission will be weighed against the team. Select Discard Mission to exit the mission and return to Tactical Engagement as if you had never flown this mission. Select Resume Mission to return to your current mission. Discard Mission Resume Mission 11-40 CHAPTER 12 CAMPAIGN The Campaign section of Falcon 4. 0 separates fighter pilots from cannon fodder. Once you enter the campaign, all your skills, training, instinct and experience will be tested. You're thrown into a chaotic military action, given a job to do and must prove your mettle in combat. The campaign takes place in the volatile Korean peninsula, one of the hotbeds of military activity. Ever since the Korean War "ended" in 1953, tensions between North and South Korea have continued. These two countries are--to this day--technically in a state of war. In Falcon 4. 0, tensions have reached their breaking point. . . and this time there's more than rhetoric flying. Understanding the Campaign The campaign consists of three different scenarios that take place in the Korean peninsula; each scenario represents a specific military condition. Once you enter one of these scenarios, you are placed in the middle of a significant military action involving ground, naval and air assets, as well as military forces from the U. S. , North and South Korea (and potentially China, Russia and Japan). You choose the squadron you want to fly with and pick your mission from a daily list of sorties being generated by headquarters. This headquarters is called Air Command (short for Air Component Commander) in Falcon 4. 0.
