How to approach your first game
Observe the opposing force before choosing your deployment. Start with the instructions displayed inside the game. The current level explains the available actions; take a moment to understand the objective before making your first move.
A mistake to watch for
Committing every available unit at once can leave little room to respond. When an attempt fails, identify the first decision that limited your options. That is a more useful starting point for the next attempt than changing everything at once.
A short practice challenge
Change one deployment decision between attempts and compare how the encounter develops. Try this for a few attempts, paying attention to the result of each action. Judge progress by whether you can explain what happened, as well as whether you complete the challenge.
Controls and loading
Use the control instructions shown in the game for your device. These pages do not assume that every level or version uses the same inputs. If the game does not respond, select the game area and check the on-screen prompts.
If loading stalls, reload once, check your connection and try a current browser. When reporting a problem, include the game name, browser, device and the point where loading stopped.
