Labels:text | skull | screenshot | black and white OCR: HOW TO PLAY TEAM YANKEE In Team Yankee, we have been scrupulous in our attempts to convey the urgency of modern tank war- fare, within the constraints imposed by the computer medium. All of the action in the game is closely based on battles which are described in the book Team Yankee. The best advice on how to play the game is therefore simple - read the book! In order to keep your attention, though, we have made subtle changes to scenarios, so that you will never know exactly what to expect. When we designed this product we had to make a hard choice between total accuracy of simulation and features which we felt would enhance the gameplay. It may annoy the purist, but when accuracy and gameplay conflicted, the game always won out! The Training Scenario The training scenario, accessed by clicking on Practice Game icon, has been designed to give you a clear idea of how to control an individual platoon as well as all of Team Yankee. The scenario is laid out on a circuit which is mod- Practice Game Icon elled on a standard tank training range - see diagram right. Your objective is to traverse the road linking points A to B, leaving certain units B strategically placed along the way. If you can achieve all of the aims of the training run then you will be very well prepared to go into full battle Strategy KEY Before launching yourself into a scenario it is best to use the briefing information to decide on your strategy for the forthcoming battle. Quite often you will be expected to position your vehicles very quickly at the start of the scenario Training Scenario Map (particularly if it is a defensive scenario). Through practise you will learn the strike power of Team Yankee's as well as the Warsaw Pact vehicles. If you are in a platoon manned by M-1 tanks, you have very little to worry about from a BTR, and you should dispose of them at your leisure, while considering that the threat from a T-72 is rather more potent. Your TOW missiles on your M-2's and ITV's are your most potent weapons in terms of strength and range, but remember that your vehicle must be stationary before they can be fired. 16
