	I've beaten Rebel Assault, and I agree that the asteriod fields are
probably one of the toughest parts in the game.  The others can be hard, but
once you figure them out, they become easier.  I really don't know what I can
say to help you out.  I assume your playing with a joystick.  I've played with
and without, and with makes the game a lot easier.  Basically, to get through,
I played A LOT.  I got to know what to expect and what would hit me and what
would pass on by.  Shoot the ice asteroids that can hit you as soon as you can
without endangering yourself, and ignore the few that with just pass by (unless
you get really good and want the points).  When flying, I would try to stay
pretty much straight, and then jam the joystick in the opposite direction when
an asteroid came close.  Practice, practice, practice.
