How to Play

In this turn-based tactical strategy game, your objective is to defeat the enemy army by either destroying all of their units or capturing their headquarters. During your turn, you command various land, air, and sea units across a grid-based map. You select units to move them, attack enemy forces within range, capture neutral or enemy cities to generate funds, and deploy new units from factories, airports, or seaports.

Winning battles requires utilizing terrain defense bonuses and managing unit strengths and weaknesses, such as using Anti-Air against Helicopters or Tanks against Infantry. Each Commanding Officer has a unique CO Power and Super CO Power that boosts unit stats or grants tactical advantages when activated. In the early game, focus on capturing cities to build your economy, establish defensive chokepoints in the mid-game, and execute coordinated combined-arms strikes to break the enemy lines in the final phase.

Browser controls and troubleshooting

If the keyboard does not respond, click the game screen first and check the actual key mappings in the player controls. Arrow keys scrolling the page can mean the game does not have input focus.

On a phone, check whether the player provides touch buttons. Try landscape or fullscreen if the controls are too small. After connecting a gamepad, press a button with the game focused and check whether the player recognizes it.

For a black screen or a stalled load, wait briefly before using Reload player or Browse games in the embedded player or play page. Reloading restarts the player and may lose unsaved progress. If no save option is available, do not rely on refreshing to preserve progress.
