Wow how many missiles are there in this game?  I'm an avid WC fan but 
unfortunately can run nothing past the WC 2 series since I have a 286.  
But I intend to get a P100 this X'mas so I need more info on this great 
game.  What are the differenecs in WC3 besides that you can shoot down 
missiles?  Can you shoot ejected pilots too?
