6. Game Play 6.1 Background Joint Task Force is a military RTS game set in the near future. In the single-player campaign, you follow the JTF First Battalion and its commander, Major O’Connell, in a fight for order and stability, where the war becomes more personal with each battle. The year is 2008, and the people of the world are in a very precarious situation.
.2.1.7 Vehicle Crew The vehicle crews of the JTF are trained to master all vehicles and operate them more effectively than their colleagues. However, they are quite vulnerable without their vehicles. 6.2.2 Infantry Equipment 6.2.2.1 AT-4 The standard anti-tank weapon of the JTF, modified to be reusable. Comes with an ammo load of 3 rockets. 6.2.3 Vehicles 6.2.3.1 Humvee The HMMWV or Humvee has already become a legend.
6.2.3.5 Mobile Flak Unit 6.2.3.9 AH-64 Attack Helicopter The Gepard is a heavily armored, autonomous, mobile air defense system, based on the chassis of the Leopard main battle tank. The vehicle is fitted with a fire control system, all-weather tracking and acquisition sensors and powerful automatic guns. The near-legendary, battle-proven Apache is a powerful armor killer on the modern battlefield. It’s very effective for deep strikes but needs air defense support to clear its path for attack.
6.2.3.13 FRSV 6.2.7 Deploying Heavy Vehicles The FRSV is a mobile repair, refit and command unit. It is lightly armored and should not be used in a combat role. It is used to repair vehicles, refit their ammo supplies, and perform vehicle upgrades. It requires the support of engineers. Select the ATC tower, located next to the landing zone, or Radar Unit and press the “$” icon. You are now in the heavy vehicles deployment menu. Select any vehicle you’d like to deploy.
To gain maximum concealment, move your soldiers into high grass or swamp and hit the prone button. Your soldiers will now be completely hidden and will only be detected at minimum distance. If hiding soldiers open fire, they will give away their position to the enemy and won’t be hiding anymore; they will have to leave the enemy’s sight before they can hide again. 6.4 Supporting Units The JTF FRSV vehicle and the enemy TCS are able to perform the following support operations: 6.4.
AT-Strike Headshot Enables the Hero to call in an A-10 attack aircraft for a precision strike. Good against all targets. Costs funding. The marksman kills infantry units instantly with a single shot. Airstrike The Hero calls in a satellite sweep of the area, revealing all enemies on the minimap. Enables the Hero to call in an F-117 attack aircraft for a cluster bomb strike. Good against soft targets and light vehicles. Costs funding.

The player also begins with some spending money so he can complement this starting force with further elements.
7.2.7 Shared Control 7.5.4 Random Containers In the options menu, the player can give shared control of his units to any other player. This is only possible within the same team, of course. The player gains full control of the shared units and can even use their hero to purchase units – in which case, funding will be deducted from the player that owns the commander. Armament and supply containers will be dropped randomly to random locations on the map at set time intervals. 7.
