Free · No download · No account · Desktop & mobile
Big battles, tiny soldiers
Everything you expect from a classic grid tactics game, made to play in a few minutes or a whole evening.
-
13 units on land, sea and air
Infantry, rocket teams, tanks, artillery, flak, fighters, gunships, landers and battleships. Each one counters something, and something counters it.
-
Capture and build
Take cities for income, seize factories, airports and ports to build reinforcements, or march on the enemy HQ to end the war in one stroke.
-
Commanders with powers
12 commanders, each with a personality, a passive edge and a power that can turn a battle: barrages, supply drops, armored charges and more.
-
Fog of war
On fog maps you only see what your units see. Scout ahead, hide in forests and spring ambushes.
-
Smart AI opponents
Three difficulty levels, and every enemy commander plays their own way: some rush with tanks, others dig in or rain artillery from afar.
-
Plays anywhere
Mouse, keyboard or touch. Runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone, and saves your progress on your device.

How a turn works
- Move. Pick a unit and choose where it goes. Roads are fast, forests and mountains give cover.
