NATO AND THE WARSAW PACT
In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, Germany was divided into a Communist East Germany
and a Capitalist West Germany. The divide between East and West intensified in 1949 when France,
the United Kingdom, the United States, and other minor states formed NATO (North Atlantic Treaty
Organisation) for mutual defence, and then intensified further when the Soviet Union responded with
the creation of the Warsaw Pact, uniting all of the Soviet-aligned states, in 1955.
Now, the world holds its breath as tensions in divided Europe reach a boiling point .
The attack came quickly after news of the
Soviet advance reached you. Your men
have been preparing for this battle, but
the reality of it actually happening is still
hard to comprehend. But they’ve really
started it -World War III.
Your orders are to hold the ridge, no
matter what, and that’s what you plan to
do. Scanning the battlefield you see your
ITVs open fire on the advancing Soviet
tanks as they pour out of the distant
treeline and into the valley. Now is the
time to act.
They may have started this war, but
you’re going to end it!
What is TANKS: The Modern Age?
TANKS: The Modern Age
is an easy-
to-learn, quick-play, small-scale game,
where you take command of a Tank
Platoon, seeking to destroy your
opponent’s tanks and secure victory.
TANKS
is a flexible game with lots of
ways to create a finely-tuned platoon
that fits your play style.
The game is fast and furious, do-or-
die. In an hour, you can pick your
tanks and crew, upgrade them to your
specifications, defeat your enemy (or die
trying), and be ready for the rematch!

FORCES OF WWIII
AMERICAN
This is not a war we wanted,
but we are prepared to fight
it. Our men have been drilled
over and over again. They are ready for
this, but war is war. We must be careful
and we must maximize our tactical
advantage. Hit them where it will hurt
the most, hit them hard and fast and
don’t give them a chance to regroup and
continue their assault. We need to hold
them back until we can gather our forces
and form a strong counterattack.

SOVIET
The war has become inevitable,
we can see that. The Western
Allies talk about peace, but
they don’t really mean it. They want this
war and if we don’t strike them first,
we will be the ones being attacked. The
orders have been sent out, the plans
have been created, reviewed, and found
to be sound. We will press the attack,
never relenting in our constant advance.
NATO will not be an easy foe to defeat,
but with our numbers and superior
technology we will crush the capitalists
and free the rest of Europe from their
oppression.

FRENCH
Once again the world is at war.
Our men are some of the best
fighters on the battlefield. We
will use our brains and clever tactics to
turn the shortcomings of our equipment
into advantages. We need to be quick on
our feet, outflank the enemy, and aim
for their weak side armour. If we strike
true, the enemy will never know what
hit them.

BRITISH
Listen up, men! We have
prepared the best defence we
could. We need to hold them
off. The Soviets will most likely come at
us sooner than later, so let’s keep them
guessing. Don’t give away your position
until you have good shots and can take
them unawares. Keep to our defensive
plan and buy our forces the time they
need to counterattack.

WEST GERMAN
They may have divided our
homeland, ripped it apart
after World War II, but now
we are once again called to defend
Germany. This war will be fought in
our hometowns. We will be fighting not
only for our lives, but for our families.
We will not back down. We will fight
until the last to defend everything we
hold dear.
