Features:

• American Tank Ace: 1944-45 is a solitaire, tactical level game that places you in command of a U.S. tank during World War II in the European Theater of Operations.
• You will be assigned missions to attack, defend, or conduct movement to contact depending on the current tactical situation. As time progresses & players survive, they may use the experience gained to improve their odds of success by purchasing skills.
• Players will find it extremely challenging to survive an entire tour from June 1944 to April 1945, at which time the game ends.
• The system is packed with rich technical detail based on the actual tanks used by U.S. forces.
• This game has some similarities to the old classic “Patton’s Best” but the combat system is completely different and lends itself to faster, more streamlined play.
