Gameplay unfolds on a top-down hex map with alternating turns. Players move units, attack enemies, capture objectives, and manage a mixed force that includes infantry, armor, artillery, and mobile units. Each unit has different movement, range, and durability values, so positioning is crucial. The Nexus system grants advantages when friendly units are kept adjacent, encouraging tight formations and careful frontline support. Campaign missions are completed by defeating enemy forces or meeting scenario goals while preserving your army.

Strategy
Keep fragile ranged units behind your front line and never let them advance alone. Maintain adjacent formations to preserve Nexus bonuses and avoid isolated losses. Use terrain and range advantage to weaken enemy units before moving in for the finish. Leave one or two mobile units in reserve so you can plug gaps or block enemy breakthroughs.
