More specifically, you are the leader of a U.S. Army Ml Abrams tank platoon. Throughout the work, you will have an opportunity to make life-or- death decisions, and the story will develop according to the choices you make. As you progress through the hook, you will learn important tactical and operational lessons. Whether you are a tank platoon leader, or expect to he, or an armchair military enthusiast, you will find this book highly entertaining and instructive.
There are two operations for you to conduct, an assault and a counter- reconnaissance mission. In each you must bring your knowledge and judge men to hear on the scenario in order to achieve the objective. If you choose wrong, defeat and even death may he your lot, if you succeed, you savour the taste of victory and live to fight another day. The scenarios are highly realistic, and there are maps and appendices with detailed specifications of the hardware involved to help you make informed decisions. Short of going through the course at the National Training Centre at Fort Irwin, working through this book is probably the best thing you can do to sharpen your war-fighting capabilities in a hurry and you don’t have to spend weeks in the field to do it!
