I've been thinking about this for a long time, without being able to figure it out, and it's been bothering me like hell. Hopefully any of you can be of assistance...
Many years ago (at least ten, most probably more) I played a PC game. It was a kind of real-time strategy game, I think, set in present day (with modern vehicles and buildings and such). The perspektive of the game was the same as other games in that genre, i.e Age of Empires, Civilization etc.
As far as I can remember, the game was played in "matches" of some kind, where the objective was to destroy the enemy's vehicles and buildings. However, you only had control over one vehicle, which would respawn when destroyed. And when you respawned, you had the option to change to another type of vechicle. For example, you could switch from a tank to a motorcycle, which could drop landmines. In multiplayer, the two human-controlled vehicles where pitted against each other, with defensive structures and such being computer-controlled.
There were two features in particular with this game that I remember extra well. First of all, one of the playable maps had the exact shape and proportions of Japan, although much, much smaller. You could drive from one end of the map to the other within half a minute or so (the maps weren't bigger than that, as far as I can remember). Secondly, the in-game music featured Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries".
Does anybody recognize this?
