Armored Task Force

The Armored Task Force is a computer wargame developed by ProSIM Company and published by Shrapnel Games in 2002.[1] The lead developer was Pat Proctor, the founder of ProSIM Company.

Gameplay

The game is a combat simulation that includes four campaigns in the following settings:

• Death Valley, California.
• The National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California.
• A hypothetical World War III in the Fulda Gap.
• A fictional war in Iraq (the game was created before Operation Iraqi Freedom).

The gameplay framework was built on the real-time gameplay of its predecessor, BCT Commander.[2] The game has an AI and hierarchy system that allows players to command their forces, from individual vehicles to larger units.

The game engine for Armored Task Force inspired a series of ProSIM games, including The Falklands War: 1982, [3][4] Raging: The Second Korean War,[5][6] and The Star and the Crescent.[7][8]
