About the game
American Tank Ace is a solitaire, tactical game where the player is in control of a single tank fighting across Europe starting shortly after D-Day. Players start in tank school and buy skills for themselves and their crew members as they fight battles against randomly generated forces with the help of notional friendly units. As new tanks become available, players can upgrade to one of nine versions of the Sherman tank and eventually the M26 Pershing. —description from the designer
