[i]Since the first incarnation of the tank, mobile heavy armor has been an important aspect of modern combat. To command a battalion, let alone a single vehicle, requires immense skill and tactical finesse. Before allowing a commander to take control of a real battalion of tanks, Venom Incorporated tests its men in the virtual realm, to see if they have the guts to lead in battle, and the brains to bring their men home. One of the most grueling virtual tests, the one which you will participate in, is modeled in a manner similar to the the Battle of 73 Easting, one of the most famous tank battles of the First Gulf War. You will be given command of two 6-tank battalions and two 6-IFV battalions. You will be tasked with neutralizing an enemy force twice your size. You will be expected to lose no more than three tanks, and will be fighting in open desert terrain, in a sandstorm. Your equipment will be your best friend. As commander, you will be given the choice between three different types of tanks and IFVs to support you.
