X-COM a brilliant game, with much to do and many ways to die.  But fret ye
not ,as I will guide you through your perilous missions with more hints and
tips than you can shake a sectoid at.  In this letter I will just cover the
many ways to die.  When the newsgroup grows a little bit , I will indulge
your tactless little sectoid brains a little more , but for now ENJOY.

THE MANY WAYS TO LOSE!!!

1:)   If you remain in debt for more than $1,000,000 for a period of two
months, your sponsors will indicate how impressed they are with your
performance by terminating the X-COM project, and your life.  And needless
to say the aliens will win!!!

2:)   If you have two consecutive bad months, (i.e. two months with very
large negative scores)  your sponsors will again terminate the X-COM
project.

3:)   It`s game over if you lose all your bases to the scum sucking aliens.

4:)  And, similarly, it`s bye-bye if you get to the big "FINAL MISSION" but
then fail to complete it.  (In which case your strategy must stink and you
deserve to die!!!)

Thats it for now my X-COMees, my next message will be about attacking the
UFOs, yes the little flying breakfast bowls.

PS  Please reply to the newsgroup, to build it up as a bit of a fan base.
