THE STORY

The Date: June 5, 1944.  The United Forces are preparing for their final
assault on the Normandy Coast.  The Mission: Establish a beachhead, break
through the front lines, and infiltrate and destroy enemy headquarters.

  To spearhead the invasion, they have chosen Paul, from Command Unit 88 - a
secret unit known as "Iron Snake." An experienced combat veteran with special
forces training.  Paul has been called a Man of Iron.

  But to succeed in his mission, Paul will need the full firepower of the
United Forces' mightiest fighting juggernaut: the Iron Tank!

HOW TO PLAY

IRON TANK can be played by one player, or by two players at the same time.

  There are several possible ways to invade the enemy's headquarters.  You

captives.  Use this information to plan your strategy.

  Use the map to search for other and better routes to carry out your mission
most effectively.  You can enjoy the game more by trying a different route
each time you play.
