Like any good tanksim, it takes practice to pick up on all the controls and become reasonably proficient at fighting your tank. Iron Warriors is highly configurable and my DVD-cased version came with a small but decent manual. At the time of writing, the sim itself is still available for example from Steam, and at a very good price. Furthermore, there's a good selection of user-made single missions still available online, here. You'll fight vicious little battles in rolling countryside, with both sides making the best of whatever kit they can get hold off.Īs well as playing the Russian volunteer's campaign, there are some training missions plus you can play some of the campaign missions singly, from the other side. For Iron Warriors casts you in the role of a former Soviet Army tanker and Afghanistan veteran who's volunteered to fight with the Serbs in the Yugoslavian Civil War of the 1990s. But what you do get is an impressive simulator of the T34, T55 and T72 with an unusual and engaging backstory, which reminded me of Operation Flashpoint - Cold War Crisis - or perhaps more appropriately, the Red Hammer expansion. You won't get big all-arms battles between NATO and the Warsaw Pact on the North German Plain. Now I've made a start and I'm glad I did. I've had this for a while but never really got to grips with it. It's none other than IDDK's 2005 release, Iron Warrior - T72 Tank Command, also sold as T72 - Balkans on Fire. Campaigning in the Balkans - in a tanksim with a storyline!įor my first tanksim campaign to get its own set of mission reports, as a ground-based counterpoint to the concurrent IL-2 campaign reports, I thought I'd start with something slightly different - one of the few tanksims that will let you fight in Cold War era Soviet tanks.
