Description from the packaging.
One last tug to the helmet strap- a reassuring glance at the line of powerful steel monsters and you know all is ready. From your command hatch you raise your hand and order "forward!" The air suddenly fills with the roar of engines and the rumble of treads, as the mighty dreadnaughts of the land start forward. You command a team of your country's finest armored vehicles in a mission to search and destroy the enemy.
T.A.C. is a game of World War II tactical armored combat. You pick a nation (from among the four major combatants- Britain, U.S.A., Germany and Russia). You build a combat team from their most powerful tanks, assault guns and tank destroyers. You command the team you've created in major operations against like forces of the enemy.
All the famous vehicles of the second world war are here- Tigers, Panthers, Shermans and JS II's; Jagdpanthers, SU 152's, Fireflies and T 34's, just to name a few. They have all been thoroughly researched and their important features programmed into the game. Each vehicle is distinguished by such elements as armor thickness (rear and flanks as well as front), fire power, speed, acceleration and gun traverse. Even minor points like fuel tank location can be critical.
The computer handles all the technical details. This lets you concentrate on making the same kinds of decisions the real-life tank commanders made. You search for the enemy, set your speed, aim your gun and knock out the enemy. The computer will handle the rest.
Here are just some of the exciting features:
