Talk:M1 Tank Platoon
 | The following references may be useful when improving this article in the future: The article notes: "Aber erst 1989 gelang Arnold Hendrick bei Microprose mit »Ml Tank Platoon« ein Titel, der taktische Tiefe mit actionreichen Panzergefechten und einer für damalige Verhältnisse hervorragenden Optik verband. ... Mit diesem Programm machte Arnold Hendrick die ernsthafte Panzersimulation salonfähig: Ml Tank Platoon kombinierte ein für seinerzeitige Verhältnisse sehr lebensnahes Verhalten der Tanks mit taktischen Anforderungen an den Spieler. ... Der mittlerweile zu Interactive Magic gewechselte Chefdesigner von »Ml Tank Platoon«, Arnold Hendrick, besann sich dort alter Tugenden und erstellte iMlA2 Abrams. Auch hier kommandierten Sie eine Kompanie Panzerfahrzeuge inklusive Artillerie, Hubschrauber und Flugzeuge. In puncto Simulation und Strategie ist ihm und seinem Team ein ansprechendes Produkt gelungen, die grafische Präsentation ließ aber stark zu wünschen übrig. Trotzdem ein bemerkenswertes Spiel, dem leider kein großer kommerzieller Erfolg beschieden war." From Google Translate: "But it wasn't until 1989 that Arnold Hendrick at Microprose created a title with "Ml Tank Platoon" that combined tactical depth with action-packed tank battles and excellent optics for the time. ... With this program, Arnold Hendrick made serious tank simulation socially acceptable: Ml Tank Platoon combined the behavior of the tanks, which was very realistic for the time, with tactical requirements for the player. ... The chief designer of "Ml Tank Platoon", Arnold Hendrick, who has since moved to Interactive Magic, remembered old virtues and created iMlA2 Abrams. Here too you commanded a company of armored vehicles including artillery, helicopters and aircraft. In terms of simulation and strategy, he and his team created an appealing product, but the graphical presentation left a lot to be desired. Still a remarkable game that unfortunately didn't have much commercial success." |

Discussion edit
- Support I think the page should be M1 Tank Platoon - not M-1 Tank Platoon. Megapixie 1 July 2005 07:26 (UTC)
Moved. WP:RM is only necesary for complicated or controversial moves. For simple moves you need only use the "move" button on the top bar. Dragons flight July 2, 2005 22:12 (UTC)
And to be more precise yet, it is a simulation not of the M1, but of the M1A1 Abrams MBT (the 120mm Rheinmetall smoothbore having superseded the 105mm gun in the latter model). Christian Rödel
- The only thing that matters is how the title was rendered on the front of the box, which was "M1 Tank Platoon" in all markets. -Ashley Pomeroy 17:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Technical edit
I used to have this game. I remember that the manual had a little detail that might fit in the "technical" section; the PC version of the game could be run in two modes, one for fast 286 machines that had more Soviet tanks, but I'll be fellated if I can't remember the exact details. Perhaps someone else has a copy of the manual in front of them. -Ashley Pomeroy 17:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
