Front Lines
Deploy your units across real battlefield terrain and try to match or beat the historical outcome.
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
- Desktop: click a unit chip, then click a deployment slot on the map; click Commit Battle
- Phone & tablet: tap a unit, tap a slot, then tap Commit
Tips & strategy
- Watch the projected score update as you place each unit and tune the line before committing
- Anchor your flanks on defensive terrain so the enemy pays to come at you
- Practice mode lets you step through every battle; Daily gives one shared scenario
