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

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

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.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.![Headquarters: World War II thumbnail](https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1840800/extras/ezgif.com-video-to-gif.gif?t=1718961263)
