Armor Attacks: The Tank Platoon

"Armor Attacks: The Tank Platoon" is "an interactive exercise in small-unit tactics and leadership" written by John F. Antal, a United States Army armor officer. A pair of six-sided dice are required to play this solitaire game which is a variation on the Choose Your Own Adventure game book genre. In Armor Attacks, you take on the role of the leader of a U.S. Army M1 Abrams tank platoon. "Throughout the work, you will have an opportunity to make life-or-death decisions, and the story will develop according to the choices you make. As you progress through the book you will learn important tactical and operational lessons." Armor Attacks is illustrated and includes 11 maps. Appendices provide background information such as weapons data, friendly and enemy unit organizations, and tank fighting positions. John Antal wrote three books which used this system: Armor Attacks, Infantry Combat, and Combat Team.
