Start with Recruit.
Choose Solo vs AI and Recruit difficulty. Shuffle battlefield is the default; pick Riverfall in the battlefield modal if you want to learn its three river crossings first.
Learn the controls, build a balanced force, and turn captured ground into a win.
Choose either ruleset for solo, co-op or a duel. Standard keeps ground ammunition unlimited. Realistic adds finite ground ammunition and supply-carrier stock. Aircraft retain fuel and ammunition in both modes.
In Realistic, select Resupply / rearm to reach a nearby stationary carrier or your base. Ground troops refill while stopped, after three seconds without shooting or taking damage. Repair trucks carry 240 rounds; Mule UGVs carry 120. Empty carriers refill at your deployment edge.
New reinforcements are produced one at a time: infantry takes 8 seconds, drones 12, vehicles 14–20 and manned aircraft 24. Deploy shows progress and arrival estimates. Queued units reserve army and drone slots. Cancel a job for a full refund. A purchased division joins the field as its troops finish production.
Retire troops from Commands to send them home. They free their slots on arrival, after five seconds without damage, and return up to 25% of their cost according to surviving health. Aircraft retire after landing at HQ.

Drag a box around your troops. Click ground to advance and engage; right-click to keep moving under fire. Send infantry into capture rings and place armor and support behind them.
Scoring begins at 03:00. Hold at least four of seven uncontested flags to score one point per second. Capture all seven uncontested flags to win immediately. You can also win independently by occupying the enemy HQ ring with ground troops for 30 uncontested seconds. No flags are required for HQ capture.
Oil and iron sites increase your reinforcement income, not your victory score. Credits keep accumulating beyond 3,000; there is no reinforcement-bank cap. Skirmish, Operation and Campaign use different score targets and time limits.
Select several units to see all available group commands together. On mobile, tap Commands to open the panel, or use Deselect in the compact selection bar to clear it. Specialized orders apply to eligible units: artillery fires, infantry digs, and aircraft rearm. A division lets you recall the same group quickly.

Additional equipment available when the commander callsign is Zhukov. Battlefield restrictions still apply.
Zhukov authorization. Experimental heavy armor with oversized protection and a high-output cannon.
Zhukov authorization. Rapid heavy rocket salvos devastate formations and buildings. Mind friendly fire.
One fire mission is shared among selected batteries: three shells, or six rounds with a rocket battery. Shells can hurt friendlies.
Zhukov authorization. Launch a fast FPV for 45 points every 18 seconds, then pilot it or order a strike. Shared drone cap still applies.
Zhukov authorization. Eight heavily armored assault troops with overwhelming close-range firepower. Captures, enters houses and digs trenches. Exaggerated game stats.

Send capturing ground units toward nearby flags, then contest a fourth. Keep a reserve close enough to reinforce a threatened ring. Buying only expensive vehicles leaves too few units to hold ground.
Pair infantry with armor. Use anti-tank teams or tank destroyers against heavy vehicles, and bring dedicated anti-air when aircraft appear. Keep repair vehicles behind the line so damaged units can recover after five seconds without taking damage.
Scouts and recon drones reveal threats for your artillery. Fire within the displayed range rings; blind fire scatters more. Shells have travel time and friendly fire, so stop advancing into a target area until the barrage lands.
Dig infantry into trenches or garrison houses. Use Hold fire to prepare an ambush, then Weapons free to engage. Ordinary direct fire struggles against cover; artillery and demolition weapons are the counter. Avoid packing every squad into one blast radius.
Ground units carry two emergency smoke charges, with a 45-second reload between uses. Smoke buys time to cross exposed ground or retreat, but nearby and airborne observers can still spot you. Preserve experienced units instead of trading them unnecessarily.
All seven uncontested flags immediately win the match. After the two-minute opening protection, send capturing ground troops inside the enemy HQ’s 16-meter ring for 30 seconds; you do not need to own the flags. Enemy ground defenders inside the ring pause capture. If attackers leave, progress drains away. Keep defenders at your own HQ to stop a surprise assault.
Use the Infantry, Armor, Support, and Aircraft tabs to build your army. Snipers scout; anti-tank teams ambush armor; marines storm objectives. Heavy tanks absorb damage while tank destroyers fire from behind. Mortars and rocket artillery require spotting. SAMs counter aircraft, while autocannons fight infantry too. Engineers and repair trucks heal nearby units after five seconds out of combat. Each commander can field 48 units. Form up to eight divisions, with twelve units each, from existing troops or a custom deployment.
Co-op: Choose Co-op vs AI in the menu. Both human players command the blue army with shared money, units, divisions and vision. The red army is AI-controlled. Each team can field 60 units. Both players must ready up; either human disconnecting pauses the battle.
Artillery: Select mortars, howitzers, or rocket artillery, then Fire at position. Click ground within the displayed firing rings. Selected batteries share one coordinated mission: three shells, or six rounds if a rocket battery is included. More guns deliver the mission sooner. Rounds have real travel time and scatter. Blind fire is less accurate, and shells hurt friendly troops too. Stop cancels remaining rounds; shells already airborne still land.
Battle damage: Bombardment leaves persistent craters and cleared woodland. Repeated hits collapse houses, injure and eject occupants, and open movement paths through rubble. Destroyed vehicles leave persistent wrecks. Field repairs cannot rebuild houses.
Panels: Close the Army and Map panels with their edge buttons. Reopen them from the side tabs. Detailed unit descriptions are in Unit intel, away from the command panel.
Divisions: Create division on the left lets you assign existing troops for free, or buy a custom formation. Select its card, then click a destination. Alt+1–8 selects divisions. Edit a division to assign replacements.
Trenches: Select infantry and press T, or Dig trenches. Digging takes 12 seconds (7 for engineers) on open land. Stationary infantry gains 65% protection from direct fire; mortars, artillery, assault guns, and bombers reduce that advantage. Trenches remain when you move away and either side can use them.
Drones: Six per team. Standard FPVs move at 11 m/s (14 piloted); rifles hit only 12% of shots, while machine guns hit 40%. Dedicated anti-air weapons remain reliable. Spectre scouts have greater endurance and can recharge at a stationary logistics carrier. Horizon fixed-wing UAVs scout deep positions; Kite interceptors protect your airspace. Attack drones carry four missiles. Wasp FPVs wait for an attack order or direct control. Machine guns and anti-air units can shoot them down; EW trucks jam their controls and vision within 38 meters.
Resources: Capture oilfields (+1.5 points/second) and iron mines (+1 point/second) with ground troops. These boost your reinforcement budget, not victory score. Contested sites stop paying.
Houses: Select infantry, then click or tap a building. Capacity scales with floor area: one squad per 20 square meters, from one to eight squads. Incoming troops reserve spaces. Tap an occupied building to select individual occupants or send them outside. Houses reduce direct damage by 60%; artillery and bombs are more effective against them. Use Exit house or give a movement order to leave. Fuel tanks cannot be occupied.
Mines & traps: Select engineers on open ground and choose Mines (45 points, 8 seconds). Inside a house, choose Trap house (35 points). Traps arm two seconds after construction and stay hidden until nearby enemy engineers spot them. Clear mines takes six seconds and sweeps a 12-meter radius. Mines trigger on enemy ground troops; booby traps trigger when the enemy enters that house.
Aircraft: Fuel and ammunition are finite. Planes and helicopters return to their runway automatically, land, then refuel and rearm (20 seconds; bombers 25). Multirotor drones can also recharge and rearm at a closer stationary repair truck or Mule UGV; in Realistic, rearming consumes its ammunition stock. Fixed-wing UAVs use HQ. Their last patrol resumes after servicing. Refuel & rearm sends selected aircraft home early.
Fly an FPV: Select a Wasp FPV drone, then Pilot FPV. W/S pitch forward/back, A/D roll, Q/E yaw, Space climbs, Ctrl descends. F arms its warhead; Esc returns to command. On a phone, use the left stick for height/yaw and right stick for pitch/roll. Flight has momentum, a 40-meter ceiling, and collisions with buildings, terrain, and units. Release controls to stabilize; armed impacts damage nearby friendly troops too. Losing the control link returns the drone to a hover.
Phone controls: Use Battle, Army, Deploy, and Map to open one panel at a time. Deploy shows every eligible troop in a scrollable grid with visible category buttons. Drag the battlefield to pan; pinch to zoom. Select a troop, then tap its destination. The compact selection bar always offers Commands and Deselect. Multi-select keeps Army open while you add or remove troops. Help opens this separate guide.
Smoke hides troops for 16 seconds. Air strikes arrive after 3.5 seconds and can hurt your own troops. SAMs, MANPADS, Gepards and Shilkas can intercept them when armed and in range.
The original combined-arms battlefield. Fight through three river crossings, villages and wooded flanks.
