Choose your side, form your force, assign heroes, level up your units, and use Headquarters skills to overcome the enemy. <!--textBlock--> <!--text--> **Face a real tactical challenge ** The game's combat system is based on an easy to learn - hard to master approach. Deceptively easy at a first glance, it offers lots of possibilities: - Units have front/side/back/top armor and their positioning matters a lot - Fences and other obstacles offer a directional cover that depends on the angle of attack - Different terrain types offer various bonuses and affect Line of Sight - Destroyed vehicles and other large objects affect the battlefield and provide cover - High Ground mechanics allow multiple levels of terrain elevation that affect Line of Sight and combat effectiveness - Destructible buildings with different stages of demolition create unique challenges <!--textBlock--> <!--text--> **Enjoy the striking visuals ** All units and scenery are created with the finest attention to detail using Unreal Engine 4 to achieve a very realistic visual style: - Realistic unit models with proper physics in place - Visceral elements of devastation - burning tank hulks, ruined houses, shell craters, smoke, death, and destruction. You will witness this and many other horrors of the war - Varied surroundings - your troops will come across war-torn battlefields as well as peaceful villages with cattle and fields of grain. Mind your tanks - this quaint beauty is quite fragile <!--textBlock--> <!--text--> **Go through numerous battles** See all sides of the story by completing 3 campaigns with 9 operations in each. The game features United States, United Kingdom, and German campaigns all set in the Normandy landings period of the war. **Manage your troops** Between the battles, you can upgrade or change your units, level them up, and assign heroes to them, granting unique abilities **Keep your crews safe** Every unit has a crew - and the crew is the heart of any unit. Losing different crew members results in different penalties for the unit. Losing a gunner means the unit has fewer attacks, losing a driver means the unit has reduced mobility, and so on. <!--textBlock--> <!--text--> **Be victorious in any skirmish ** Test your skills against an AI on each of the 6 skirmish maps. Different victory conditions require versatility in your planning and tactics. **Prove yourself as a masterful tactician** Play skirmish battles against real opponents or 2x2 team battles with friends. The game supports multiplayer battles with up to 4 players both with real-time connection or using Slitherine’s CombatHQ system. **Play your own game** Use the Editor tool to create your own skirmish/multiplayer maps and share them with the community.
