Based on the Tom Clancy-inspired novel, Team Yankee puts you in charge of a tank platoon during World War III. It’s the Cold War gone hot, and you’re the unlucky commander trying to stop the Soviets with pixelated armor and strategy. The game mixes tactics, tension, and explosions into a surprisingly cerebral experience. One bad move and your tanks are smoking ruins. One good one and you’re a Cold War hero. It’s grim, grey, and wonderfully grounded—military realism on a 16-color budget.
PC Review issue 7 (1992) - "Based on Harold Coyles's novel, this is a similar game to MicroProse's M1 Tank Platoon, and a little more complex strategically. This is mainly down to having to control four platoons simultaneously. Team Yankee is also distinguished by the use of bitmapped graphics for the 3D rather than filled polygons. This helps to give the game a more absorbing atmosphere than many other simulations."
