The game features a mixture of first-person, third-person tank warfare, and tactical simulation gameplay.

Between the battles, surviving crew members increase in military rank and skill—giving the player an incentive to keep their team alive.

As platoon commander, direct control is limited to the four M1 tanks, however depending on the mission, support units like recon and attack helicopters, M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, MLRS artillery systems or other older M60 Patton tanks are available and can be given orders via the tactical map.

Full use of the supporting forces makes success easier with even the infantry disembarking from their IFVs to use M47 Dragon anti-tank launchers.

He favorably reviewed the game's documentation, internal and external graphics, and depiction of interdependent combat arms, and concluded that it was "the best armor simulator currently available".

Great graphics, gorgeous heavy weaponry, lots of strategy involved — can't go wrong really.
