Any War: Tactics Across Time

Four eras. Six historic battlefields. Or any place on Earth.

Any War: Tactics Across Time is a real-time squad tactics game. You command a platoon from above: pick your ground, move from cover to cover, and take (or hold) the objective before the clock runs out. Your soldiers see only what they can really see, take cover behind real walls and hedges, and can break, surrender or rally under fire.

The four eras

• World War II: rifle squads, machine guns, mortars and tanks. Bastogne in the snow, Carentan, Brecourt Manor.
• US Civil War: lines of rifle muskets, cavalry and field guns. Hold The Angle at Gettysburg.
• Medieval: men-at-arms, archers and real melee. Storm Chateau Gaillard.
• Future: blaster squads and hover armour. Take Redwood Outpost.

Features

• Real-time tactics with pause: give orders while paused, then speed up to 2x or 4x.
• Line of sight and fog of war: you only see what your men can see.
• Morale and suppression: pinned squads crawl, broken squads run, surrounded squads surrender.
• Eight orders: Move, Fast, Sneak, Defend, Ambush, Fire, Smoke, Charge.
• Six hand-picked historic battles, playable offline.
• Fight Anywhere on Earth: search any town or street and the game builds a battlefield from the real map (buildings, roads, woods, water). Needs an internet connection.
• Custom battles: pick the era, who attacks, tanks on each side, heroes and field fortifications.
• A short guided training battle.
• Full mouse and keyboard controls, with every hotkey shown in the game.
