How to play
Each scenario recreates a battle on its actual ground. Pick a unit from your roster and place it on a glowing deployment slot, using terrain to your advantage. When every unit is positioned, commit the assault, the engine resolves it deterministically and grades you against the historical par.
Select a unit, then tap a glowing slot to deploy it
Use terrain: hills, towns and forest defend; rivers and marsh punish the attacker
Match unit to ground, cavalry on open fields, skirmishers in cover, guns on hills
Commit the battle and match or beat the historical par to win
Controls
