First part of an initial attempt at a campaign in "American Tank Ace: 1944-1945" designed by Gregory M. Smith and published by Compass Games. This is a solitaire game of armored combat in Europe during and after the Normandy invasion in June of 1944.

The player controls a single tank, starting with a base model M4 Sherman and (hopefully) progressing through improved versions of the same with ultimately getting a shot at the M26 Pershing just before the war's end. It'll take a lot of skill - and even more luck - to make it to the campaign's end in April of 1945.

This is a narrative game, similar in concept to some of Gregory Smith's other games such as Silent Victory, The Hunters, Interceptor Ace, Nightfighter Ace, etc., but this is definitely not on rails - the player makes decisions on how to fight their tank against an enemy that is, in many cases, fighting with tanks that have bigger guns and thicker armor than the player's Sherman. An uphill battle to say the least.
