The sequel to Team Yankee. Your mission: liberate a fictional Pacific archipelago overrun by Soviet and North Korean communists.
The interface and method for commanding your sixteen tanks remain virtually unchanged (though there are now buttons for zooming and halting all four tanks in a unit simultaneously, sparing you from repeatedly switching back to the “map” screen).
A “financial management” element has been added—somewhat out of place in a tank game. Depending on how quickly you complete your missions, and after accounting for any collateral damage you cause, you’re awarded a variable budget. This allows you to repair your vehicles and restock their ammunition.
