British Tank Ace

Once you have your initial tank and commander, play proceeds by rolling for a mission and then conducting it. Enemy forces and events are randomly generated, ensuring no two careers will ever be the same. Combat is swift and sometimes deadly; artillery, mortar firs, terrain and weather also have an impact on operations, Players must pay attention to hull down status, the orientation of their hull and turret, and decide when it is prudent to “button up.” Due to its streamlined play, a single mission can be completed in as little as 10 minutes.

When a mission is completed, assuming you have survived, you will ascertain if any awards have been earned or experience points gained. Promotion is also possible, which has the advantage of allowing for artillery and mortar support. You may also upgrade your tank if you have sufficient Prestige to get a better model; otherwise, you continue to fight in your starting tank until it is knocked out.

While British Tank Ace is designed as a solitaire gaming experience, additional options for play are provided for both multi-player cooperative and competitive gaming sessions.
