Hi,
Just read it (again), it's one of those books where you read a chapter and then decide which option to take, and then be guided to a new chapter...
But written to train squaddies.

"Antal, John F., 1955-
Armor attacks : the tank platoon : an interactive exercise in small unit tactics and leadership / John F. Antal

Worth a read, great scenario options.
But just remind me where in CWC I can put my CO/HQ in a fighting vehicle...

I have a copy of this book on my shelf, pretty interesting take on a training manual.

I just ordered my copy - sounds interesting. Only 80p for a "good" copy on Amazon!

It's not a super book, but for $1.27 CDN you got a really good deal. I think I paid $15-20 for my copy, but that was roughly when it came out.

To be honest I bought 3 copies - might be good treats for pals at Christmas!

At that price you can't lose.

Rubbish book - I just got killed!

I lost as well when I read it a few years back!

Fascinating book - publishd in 1990. The US locked in a "conventional" tanky type war in the Middle East. But within a year the US army would spearhead an operation against the largest middle eastern army and give it the hiding of it's life in only 100 hrs! I think the author over estimates the quality of T72s!

Oh well - back to part one. Attacking objective Eagle by a left hook isn't so clever after all. I had a tank break down and one KO'd before I even got to find this elusive T72!
