Assault and defend positions. Exploit cover and terrain. Call in artillery strikes and use special units. Storm trenches, conquer villages and urban neighborhoods . Command your troops from a classic Real-Time Tactics perspective, or take direct control of any soldier or vehicle on the battlefield.
Real Time Tactics
Control multiple squads, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to accomplish mission objectives. Order them to take cover, maneuver with your force in order to get a better position over the enemy.
Direct Control
When commanding the battlefield as a commander is not enough, you can turn the tide of an engagement by entering direct control of any allied soldier or vehicle.
Special Units Available
Using the abilities of the Lieutenant, Platoon Sargent, Medic and Engineer are vital to your platoon's survival and victory on the battlefield.
Battlefield Chaos
Infantry and vehicles should support each other, each is vulnerable without the other.
Infantry Direct Control
Take part in the battle from another perspective.
Vehicle Direct Control
Taking direct control of a tank or infantry fighting vehicle to quickly destroy enemy armor with precision or halt an infantry charge with superior firepower is a reliable way to dominate the battlefield.
Jankiness
Sadly, some elements of jank are present. They are not game breaking. They are not very frequent and most gameplay is smooth, but when they occur some players could find them annoying. To accommodate this, "Platoon" will be sold at a cheaper price than originally planned. And overall gameplay and level design is redirected to provide as smooth player experience as possible. Most, if not all levels will take under 15 minutes to accomplish.
So, are you ready to take command of your platoon, Lieutenant ?
This is a simplified, more casual wargame. This is not a hardcore & realistic milsim. You will not deal with ammo, inventory management, building fortifications, resupplying your troops, reviving wounded soldiers. I want you to focus on the strategy, tactics and action.
