FRONTLINE HEAT

BEHIND THE GUN ON AN M1A1

0400 HOURS: MISSION BRIEFING Soviet FST-1's and BMP's are pouring over the border into West Germany. Ready your crew and move out!

0415 HOURS: CHOOSE THE RIGHT WEAPONS Reconnaissance reports aircraft and infantry, too, so balance your load of Sabots, HEAT rounds and AX's.

0500 HOURS: PATROL THE ROAD TO BONN Only minor clashed so far. Check your NAV map and damage screen. You have enough fuel to weed out the recon units, but will your ammo hold out?

1045 HOURS: THE HEAT IS ON Your 120mm gun slams you against the seat as you blast another T-80. Gutted tanks litter the battlefield, pillars of smoke streak the sky, but the enemy keeps rolling. You swing your turret around and spot a Soviet assault chopper. His sights are on you.

2230 HOURS: GET HOME ALIVE Cross the bridge and you're home free. You're glued to the gunner's sights, straining to detect enemy movement with thermal imaging. The ballistic computer locks on. Range 1326m. Pray he's alone.

⇨ Realistic tank maneuverability, weapons intelligence, armor penetration, and three-dimensional world. ⇨ 4 battle perspectives within the M1A1 tank for maximal control. ⇨ 8 different missions with day or night conflict, plus the WW III campaign. ⇨ 15 types of Allied and Soviet vehicles to I.D. or destroy. ⇨ Difficulty options from novice to expert.

M-1 ABRAMS® * BATTLE TANK™

World War III. You command the Abrams Battle Tank, 63 tons of mechanized fury and a highly-trained crew of four. Your bearing: 197. The recon map indicates an enemy base straight ahead, with hills rising steeply on either side. It's time to move out — zero hour in a 3-D world.

The Abrams Tank carries HEAT, AX and armor-piercing SABOT rounds for the 120mm cannon, plus a 7.62mm COAX machine gun. Easing around the hill, you scan the horizon. A column of Soviet T-62s at 2500 meters — just within range. Choose your ammo, load, and lock-on. Fire!

The enemy tank's armor shatters. You call up thermal imaging and strike out for the main road at 40 mph, while the fire-on-the-move TADS system frames the next tank with deadly accuracy. Unleash armor-melting HEAT shells at close range. Bull's eye! Enemy fire is all around, but it can't penetrate your Chobham armor.

Check the map at the Commander's Station, and review the mission status. But look out. There's an enemy relief column ahead. Prepare to lay smoke and reload, soldier, while Soviet choppers scream over the treetops.
