The Tank Mark VIII (or "Liberty", after its engine) was an Anglo-American tank design of the First World War, a collaborative effort to equip France, the U.K., and the U.S. with a single heavy tank design built in France for an offensive in 1919. Testing of the design was not finished until after the war, and it was decided to build 100 ...

Armed with two 6-pounder cannons and five rifle-caliber machine guns, it was operated by an 11-man crew, and had a maximum speed of 6.5 ...

The tanks were destroyed by U.S. forces in order to prevent any trophy-claim by the Iraqi Army. [N 1] A total of 23 M1A1s were damaged or destroyed during the war. Of the nine Abrams tanks destroyed, seven were destroyed by friendly fire and two intentionally destroyed to prevent capture by the Iraqi Army.
Paul Rigby for The Games Machine said that "Tank is an enjoyable simulation which benefits from a great deal of detailed research – the operation of the M1 Abrams is well portrayed, while the option of being able to control 16 tanks is exciting (and exhausting!)." [2]
