GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW
M1 Tank Platoon was one of the very best games of MicroProse Software.
Now the producer and director of the M1 Tank Platoon product, Wild Bill Stealey,
Founder of MicroProse Software, is back with a new version of his famous M1 Tank
Platoon game with a game for World War II, M4 Tank Brigade.
What made M1 famous was its combination of strategy and tactics. Not only can you fire and fight from individual armored vehicles but you can also be the General controlling where you send your Brigades to accomplish the strategic missions using the interactive tactical map.
The new Enhanced Graphics (EG) system, just implemented, gives players fast combat armored battles across the embattled battle spaces of Europe during WW II with a brand a new polygon display system, including more detail in the tanks, the terrains, and all the special effects. New sounds, new tracers, and new explosions greatly enhance the M4 Tank Brigade, EG experience! And now you can use Artillery on your enemy and call in combat aerial attacks from aircraft on your side! But the enemy can do that to you too!
M4 Tank Brigade promises to become the standard in World War II tank games with explosive gameplay, unparalleled realism, and beautifully rendered, historically accurate terrains, all from the battlegrounds of the Ardennes Forest. Choose to battle with 10 different World War II combat vehicles, including Shermans, Pershings, and the intimidating Panzer tanks!
M4 Tank Brigade brings a full Campaign mode where players start in early WW II tanks and progress through the years of 1939 to 1945 getting better and more deadly tanks as the war goes on. Players can play from either the Axis or Allied sides. The single player game also includes Training Missions, Instant Action Missions, and exciting Massively Multiplayer Online Game Play!
Some of the Campaign Missions are briefly outlined below. Players will relive the blood-chilling excitement of the fight with each mission.
