Garnering Accolades for it's realistic gameplay and wide variety of playing options, M1 Tank Platoon was awarded Simulation Game of the year by Computer Gaming World, the Innovations Award at the Consumer Electronics show and a Silver Award by the Software Publisher's Association.

With all the action of land combat, you command a full platoon of four tanks and sixteen men. You control the whole shooting match and since the men in your platoon have their own individual personalities and skills, you can watch their abilities improve with battle experience. You can use your leadership skills to decide who gets promoted or decorated.

  • Flexible command: Give orders to your entire platoon or to individual tanks. Plus, you can jump into any tank, taking over as commander, gunner, or driver whenever you wish.
  • Infinite variety: Thousands of battlefields, millions of situations for endless play. Day or night battles- in clear weather, rain, snow or mud. Take on single battles or wage war from start to finish.
