Main Battle Tank: Middle East - Modern Grand Tactical Armoured Combat

Main Battle Tank: Middle East - Modern Grand Tactical Armoured Combat is a computer wargame for multiple systems, covering large scale conflicts in the Middle East including the 1973 Syrian invasion of Israel, the 1980 Iraq invasion of Iran, and the U.S. assault on Iraq in 1991.

Players can control either or both sides, or the computer can take on one or both roles. The game is text-only, and came with a board and physical pieces to allow the player to keep track of the location of theirs and enemy units. There are a total of 9 scenarios to choose from, and the player can also create custom settings. The player takes on the role of scenario commander, and issues orders to different units. Groupings may or may not follow commands, and messages and reporting may become skewed to represent fog of war.

The player receives a limited weather report each turn, and game play progresses in 20 minute segments. Each turn units can report in to give their current condition. Every hour, the player can either request a general report or give orders to groupings. General report provides the current location of each company, and their current level of engagement. Individual groupings can be ordered to report, move, advance, attack, retreat, screen, hold, or special orders.
