There are two modes of play: The Campaign Mode where the game is divided into sections, each with their own unique challenges and units and support are unlocked as they levels progress. Players must also watch out for hazards such as razor wire that will slow their units down and make them easier targets and land mines which can inflict massive damage to a unit and any others surrounding it. There are also four support items as well: Mortar* Tank: heavily armored and are not easily destroyed.Officer: adds morale to the unit and can inflict twice as much damage to enemy units.Sniper: best used long range against single units.Machine Gunners: better suited for entrenched warfare, but are highly vulnerable in open attacks.Assault:: a commando type unit that can easily assault entrenched soldiers.

The top bar shows how much ground has been gained while the bar below it shows how much morale is left for their side.Įach army has six units: Rifleman:*: good at entrenched warfare, but is vulnerable on the open field. Players can track how much ground and morale is left at the top of the screen.

Once the stage is over and the player loses, he or she can restart that level. The stage is over unit either side occupies the other or the morale is low enough to that force to surrender. The goal of each stage is simple, destroy enemy units and gain ground from them. The player can choose to play as either the British Army and advance into German territory or play as the German Army and drive the British back from their home country.
