War in the Gulf

A third game in the tank combat series, following from Team Yankee (whose
story and setting came from a book) and Pacific Islands (set in an imaginary
1995 war). The third game imagines a situation in which Iraq invades Kuwait
for a second time.

The series’ main distinguishing feature was the way you always viewed all 4
tanks in a platoon at the same time, via a split screen. Action here is purely
mouse-driven. The AI has been significantly updated from previous games in the
series. A full roster of tanks and weapons are included, with Iraq mainly
using Soviet machinery. A major consideration involves destroying particular
buildings for money, and preventing other particular ones being destroyed,
also for financial reasons.
