TIPS
To climb up steep terrain try driving up it on a diagonal to the slope.
The last few enemies in a sector will appear on the far East or West bank of the river, depending on your orders. Allied Ace always advances to the East, Soviet Ace always advances to the West. East is right, West is left in the overhead view. If you get confused try driving along the river until you spot enemies on the far shore.
