You don't just control your own platoon of 4 tanks. Sometimes additional forces will be assigned to you, anything from infantry (Bradley IFVs and M-113 APCs) and missile carriers (ITV-improved TOW vehicle) to A-10 or helicopter support. Sometimes you may even see some M-60 tanks assigned to you! Artillery is also available on call depending on what's available (HE, smoke, etc.).
Around Desert Storm, MicroProse released a "bundle" called "Allied Forces", which contains Gunship (GS2K didn't come up until 1991) and M1TP, but with a patch to make the terrain yellow/brown like Kuwait instead of the "green" of Europe.
