T-72: Balkans on Fire! is a groundbreaking new tank simulation by Russian game developers IDDK/Crazy House. Set in the violent period of civil wars that ravaged Yugoslavia from 1991 to 1995, it puts the player as a Russian volunteer tank commander right into the turret of some of the best tanks the Russians built – the T-72B, the T-55A and the T-34-85.

This free demo includes two training missions, driving and shooting range together with a small sample mission specifically produced for the demo called Dog Fight, pitting your T-72 against a Leopard tank. Additionally, the in-game 3D encyclopedia allows you to explore the units featured in the full game, like the Mi-8 helicopter and many others.

The full game is out now, and is only available directly from www.battlefront.com
