💥 Every fight
Every attack gets a cutscene.
Each attack cuts to a short scene of the two units trading fire: tanks rock back on their treads, fighters scream past, battleships rattle the coast. In a hurry? Speed the scenes up or switch them off and watch the blows land on the board.
🏝️ Story campaigns

Then the museum wakes up.
The Longest Beach8 missions + a boss fight encoreAfter closing time the museum’s WWII diorama wakes up: balloon tanks, night drops, D-Day, the hedgerows, a bridge too far and a frozen Bastogne.
Tremendous Waters10 missionsThe ducks have closed the Plughole Strait. A golden-maned admiral promises to reopen it in one day, maybe less. Pebble does the actual sailing.
The Hall of Ages12 missionsThe museum’s oldest wing wakes up: a pass to hold, elephants in the snow, a mirror that sets fleets alight, a field of mud, a runaway vacuum, a broken line, a rising sun, three farms and opening time. Starring (he insists) the Understudy.
Sunflower Stand12 missionsEmperor Stackton packed for a three-day parade. Sunfield’s farmers, grandmothers, volunteers and one very good dog have other plans: hold the island, tow the tanks, sink the flagship, and finally hold the parade the Emperor promised: with his own wrecked tanks.
🌦️ A living board
Sunny today, stormy tomorrow.
Maps come with their own weather and time of day, and the board is never still: waves lap the shore, flags flap, birds scatter and tired units nod off after they move. Drag the slider to compare.
- Birds and butterflies that scatter when armies roll past
- Fish jumping in the bays, waves foaming on every shore
- Units that yawn, fidget and doze off once they’ve moved
- Flags that flip colour when a city changes hands
- Smoking factories and blinking runway lights
- Unit cards: press any unit for its stats and matchups
- Nine boards to play on, from the classic sea to the kitchen counter
- Soldiers with their own faces that grin, frown and cheer
