HPS Simulations and John Tiller are proud to announce the release of Tour of
Duty, the follow-on game to Tiller's Squad Battles: Vietnam.

Those who served in Vietnam fought in a war without front lines, one
where action came quickly and unexpectedly. They fought in rice paddies, in
the air, in the cities, and along the rivers of Vietnam. They came from
myriad backgrounds and nationalities, all wanting to serve their country.
Their combat experiences writ large a story; a story they would take with
them, and that would forever represent their Tour of Duty.

Tour of Duty is the second game in the Squad Battles Series and continues
from the original game Squad Battles Vietnam. In addition to over 40
scenarios, Tour of Duty has a Campaign Game, the first in the Squad Battles
series to do so, which enables the player to assume the role of a leader and
fight multiple battles over the course of a year in Vietnam. There are 5
campaigns, including American Army, Marine, Air Cavalry, Army Riverine, and
Australian forces.

Although it uses a common game engine, Tour of Duty is a complete game and
independent of Squad Battles Vietnam. Either can be installed and played
without the other. However, PBEM and network games require that both players
have the same game being played, Vietnam or Tour of Duty, and scenario and
battles are not interchangeable between the games.

Tour of Duty contains multiple enhancements to the Squad Battles game engine
including Caves and Tunnels, Smoke and Illumination, and several enhancements
and new features not found in the original Squad Battles Vietnam.

Tour of Duty includes American Army, American Marine, South Vietnamese, South Korean,
Australian, North Vietnamese, and Viet Cong forces and equipment. Scenarios
cover a wide variety of situations many of which include  air and armored
cavalry.

- Supports single person play against the computer, two-person hot-seat,
two-person Play-By-E-Mail, and multiplayer network play over LANs and the
Internet.
- Comes with Main Program, full-featured Scenario Editor, and Order of
Battle Editor.
- Complete on-line Help documentation plus on-line printable documentation
in Microsoft Word format.
