M1 TANK PLATOON II
In M1 Tank Platoon II, you command an elite platoon of M1 Abrams tanks in real time battle simulations. After completing training at Fort Knox armor school and the national training center at Fort Irwin, you can head into single battles from different historical eras, mount a campaign in a given era, or play a multi-player game via modem, Internet, LAN or link cable.
Battles are ranked in three levels where level one is the easiest and level three the most difficult. Full campaigns will contain a mixture of all battle types. Before each battle, you are briefed on enemy forces, told about air and ground support in the area and given the coordinates of the target you are going to attack or defend. Before each mission begins, you must map out the route your platoon will take to the target. You can also mark where your air or ground support will attack.
During each mission, it is your job to destroy enemy vehicles, secure targets and keep the tanks in your platoon from being destroyed. You have several weapons at your disposal to accomplish these tasks.
APFSDS (Armor-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized, Discarding Sabot) missiles pierce the skin of enemy tanks, release deadly shrapnel inside and ignite anything within that is flammable. HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) missiles blast through tank armor and explode with deadly force.
MPAT (Multi-Purpose, Anti-tank) rounds are not as powerful as the HEAT or Sabot but are effective against lighter vehicles, ground troops and aircraft. STAFF missiles are Smart, Target-Activated, Fire and Forget rounds. These contain a radar homing device that can differentiate between targets and ground clutter. Once a gunner launches a STAFF missile, he does not need to worry about firing again.
The gunner also has access to a coaxial shell firing machine gun. The coax rounds will not penetrate armored tanks but they are good against ground troops and aircraft. The Tank Commander also has access to the tank's machine gun that can be used to take out ground troops or aircraft. Missions can be either historical, hypothetical or random in M1 Tank Platoon II. There are five campaign theaters including Gulf War II, Russian Far East, Central Europe, Balkans or North Africa. More than 70 ground and air vehicles, each with their own weapons systems, are available as well.
To get up to speed on the looks and abilities of United States and foreign war machines, visit the War College included on the M1 Tank Platoon II CD-ROM.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
