❤ Gameplay Mechanics

This Real-Time Tactics game sets players in a 1989 hypothetical conflict through several innovative design choices: platoon-level control reduces micromanagement to strategic decision-making, players command entire companies using intuitive group mechanics, a dynamic points system allows real-time unit deployment and replacement, battle phases create intense 20-minute strategic windows, and veteran units can retreat and preserve their experience levels.

❤ Tactical Depth

The experience offers nuanced complexity without overwhelming players: forest and urban terrain critically impact unit effectiveness, morale systems cause units to suppress, panic, or strategically reposition, combined arms gameplay demands precise tank, infantry, and artillery coordination, off-map artillery and reconnaissance dramatically influence battlefield control, and unit facing and positioning determine engagement outcomes.

❤ Resource Management

Players navigate an innovative 'Command Authority' economy: victory points generate resources for replacing destroyed tank platoons, purchasing specialized task forces, upgrading supply lines, and expanding unit deployment capabilities.

❤ Unique Strategic Elements

Battlefield damage persists between combat phases, regiment composition adapts through mission-specific customization, randomized event cards introduce unexpected tactical challenges, and unit formations mirror authentic Cold War military doctrines.

❤ Combat Characteristics

Engagement pacing allows deliberate tactical thinking, Leopard 2 and T-72 tanks survive multiple hits enabling complex maneuvers, support units automatically engage appropriate targets, and positioning and combined arms tactics triumph over reflexive clicking.

❤ Player Experience

The design prioritizes immersive single-player storytelling, accessible strategic depth, meaningful player choices, and historical authenticity.

❤ Recommended For

Methodical military strategy enthusiasts, historical conflict simulation fans, players who enjoy thoughtful real-time combat and narrative-driven tactical experiences.
