01 // The setting

Twenty years after the meteorites.

A rain of meteorites hit the continent of Varkan. Out of the craters came Aurium, a crystal that gives almost endless energy. The old countries fell apart and the continent broke into territories held by rival armies, each fighting for every deposit.

You command

The Free Legion

What is left of the old armies, volunteers and mercenaries who want Aurium to belong to everyone. Olive green, orange bands.

Against you

The Iron Dominion

General Kragov's disciplined army wants all of the crystal for itself. Steel blue, red bands. Same box of toy soldiers.

02 // Choose a battle

Five ways to fight.

Your base is home. Every battle starts from it and comes back to it. Battles pay dollars, dollars raise your base.

Attack a base

Pick another commander's base on the war map. Choose up to six kinds of troops and a deck of cards, drive the convoy to the front and send your soldiers in by hand, paying supplies for each.

  • Up to 6 troop kinds
  • Destroy the HQ to win
  • Every building = 3 stars

03 // Day, night & weather

The war keeps Romania's clock.

Day and night follow the real hour. After dark your battles are fought at night, and your base waits in the dark with its lamps lit.

Twilight
30 min

The sun rises later in winter and sets later in summer, as it does in Romania. The night deepens until midnight, stays darkest until five, then pales toward sunrise. Raids, sieges and duels set by the server keep Bucharest's hour; a battle you start keeps your PC's.

  • Clear

    Sun and shadows

    • 100%speed and range

    Real shadows under every soldier, building and tree, and the shadows of the clouds drifting across the field.

  • Rain

    Rain

    • −15%infantry speed
    • −30%vehicle speed

    It starts as a drizzle and grows. The ground darkens, puddles fill the ruts, and a storm brings lightning and thunder.

  • Fog

    Fog

    • −40%range for snipers and long guns
    • −10%for every other gun

    A bank of fog two metres deep lies on the field, and the troops wade into it to the waist.

  • Snow

    Snow

    • −10%speed for everyone
    • −20%range for snipers and long guns, −5% for the rest

    The field whitens as it falls, and the snow settles on the trees, the roofs and the helmets.

  • Night

    Night

    • 24 mthe farthest anyone fires

    Beyond it the enemy shows only as a red silhouette, on the field and on the radar: you know something is coming, not what.

Where your base stands decides the sky

  • Varkan Plains

    Mostly clear: open fights, no surprises.

  • Eastern Marshes

    Rain in half the battles, and the rain slows the troops attacking you.

  • Valley of Mists

    Fog in half the battles: snipers and towers see less.

  • Frozen North

    Snow lies on the ground, and it never rains.

04 // The war map

An island of real commanders.

Every territory holds another player's base. Pick a target, read its defense and garrison, and go. Tap the markers to read the map.

Your base

Your base holds its own territory on the island. Every battle starts here and comes back here.

3 ★per base: HQ, then every building
6troop kinds per convoy

05 // Your base

Every wall is where you put it.

Place every building yourself, anywhere in your half of the field, turned as you like. Walls snap end to end; the enemy walks around them by any open path and breaks through the weakest one only if you close the base off.

Wall tiers

  1. WoodLvl 1
  2. StoneLvl 5
  3. ConcreteLvl 10
  4. ArmoredLvl 15
  • Headquarters sets your build points, sends scouts.
  • Bunkers & watchtowers fire ahead; towers fire over walls.
  • Flak gun shoots down rockets and planes.
  • Artillery howitzer, mortars or rocket launcher.

Tear down an upgraded building and every dollar put into it comes back.

A player's base: headquarters, barracks and research center
Defenses: bunkers, watchtowers, walls and barbed wire around the headquarters
The defense line

06 // The army

Ten kinds of soldier. Pick six.

Research them at the Research center. Each needs its own barracks, and up to six kinds ride the convoy to the front.

Unit file · 01

Rifleman

Line infantry

Cheap and good in numbers. Comes in a group of four.

A barracks raised in level sends stronger troops, more often.

07 // Commander cards

Change the battle with one card.

Cards cost no supplies. Bring a deck to the attack; on defense, earn them from the enemies you bring down. Cards that come by plane can be shot down by flak.

  • 1Strike

    Rocket barrage

    Rockets on the spot you point at, breaking towers before your troops arrive.

  • 4Trap

    Minefield

    Mines the enemy cannot see.

  • 5By air

    A rally point for your whole army, garrison included.

The command screen: commander level, dollars, gold and the four battle modes

08 // The commander's road

From recruit to legend.

Experience from every battle raises your commander level, up to 50, through eleven ranks. Each level unlocks troops, cards or build points; past level 20, every level pays dollars.

Recruit · 1Legend of the Front · 50

Level 20 · dollars on every level from here

DollarsWon in battle. Pay for buildings, upgrades and research.
GoldThe rare one. Missions, new stars, records, ranks and medals.

09 // New on the front

Fresh from the front.

What the last updates brought. The game updates itself, and the roadmap says what comes next.

  • 2.25

    Four seasons for your base

    Winter with snow and frosted trees, autumn in orange and red, spring in bloom, the desert with its palms and cacti. In the shop under Looks; wear one from the wardrobe, or let the calendar choose.

  • 2.25

    Built before your eyes

    A building you place goes up behind a scaffold: the engineers hammer away and it rises a course at a time until it stands.

  • 2.23 – 2.25

    New faces

    The captain comes out of your headquarters holding his pistol like an officer, the sniper wears a ghillie, the machine gunner carries an MG 42.

  • 2.20 – 2.21

    New menus, new HUD

    A new start screen, battle cards that come alive, a cleaner battle HUD and loading screens that wait until the battle runs smoothly.

Coming

Four troop camps redrawn: the flamethrowers' fuel point, the gas troopers' decontamination shelter, the special forces' camp and the convoy's tent. The flamethrower reaches 14 m and the gas trooper 15 m.

Checked on the server

Every battle that pays is replayed and verified. No cheated stars on the map.

Your account, guarded

A sign-in from a new device is announced in the game. “It wasn't me” signs it out everywhere else.

One commander, any PC

The Online world needs just a name and a password. Your base lives on the server.

The front is waiting.

Free for Windows 10 and 11. Build tonight, storm a base before bed.
