When you first spawn in, you will be shown a large lineup of tanks from which you will choose the type you wish your four tank platoon to be comprised of. Support can consist of mortars, artillery, infantry, IFVs, and both fixed wing and rotor aircraft. According to the author, enemy forces are based upon real world compositions and the mission area will contain a primary and one or more secondary targets. At present, three core locations on Altis are featured and missions are randomly generated. The mission is a single player attack on an enemy position using your tank platoon and other support groups that you have command over. The beta mission can be downloaded from the Steam Workshop HERE. While the Kickstarter did not reach it’s goal, the beta mission is a lot of fun and gives a glimpse into what might be possible with Arma 3. Understandably, it wouldn’t be a full on armor simulation, but would have the flavor of those great Microprose missions. The author of the mission, James Davidson, went so far as to start a Kickstarter page where he describes his desire to recreate the classic Microprose M1 Tank Platoon experience within the Arma 3 world. The words “Tank Platoon” popped out at me and I started reading up on the beta mission progress. While browsing the Steam Arma 3 Workshop recently, I came across a mission that piqued my interest. Fans of the classic Microprose title “M1 Tank Platoon” might soon have a chance to relive their childhood in the incredible Arma 3 world if James Davidson has anything to say about it…
