Battle of 73 Easting, 1991
You are Captain Herbert Raymond McMaster, commander of Eagle Troop in the U.S. Army's 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. It is February 26, 1991, deep in the Iraqi desert during Operation Desert Storm. You find yourself leading the advance aboard your M1A1 Abrams main battle tank in the middle of an intense and blinding sandstorm. Suddenly, upon clearing the crest of a sand dune at the '73 Easting' control coordinate, your thermal sight detects dozens of enemy heat signatures: you have stumbled head-on into an armored division of the Iraqi Republican Guard entrenched with T-72 tanks. The enemy is less than 1.5 kilometers away. Despite being outnumbered, you order your crew to lock onto the target and open fire with the 120 mm cannon to lead the charge. The battle begins now.
