Artillery Command

WELCOME TO THE EUROPEAN THEATRE

You are the commander of a forward-deployed artillery battery. Enemy contacts are pouring into your sector, and you have exactly one mission: eliminate them before they overrun your position.

No auto-aim. No hand-holding. Just you, your map, and your ability to calculate bearing and range like a true artilleryman.

CORE GAMEPLAY

READ YOUR MAP: A high-fidelity WGS-84 tactical map displays enemy contacts, terrain, towns, rivers, and roads. Every grid line matters.

USE YOUR TOOLS: Deploy the protractor to measure bearings directly on the map. Use the ruler to calculate exact distances between points. A true artillery commander reads the terrain.

CHECK YOUR RADAR: The rotating radar display shows contacts with range rings and bearing. Watch for the sweep; it reveals what's out there.

SET YOUR COMPASS: Drag the compass needle to input bearing. True north. No shortcuts.

CALCULATE AND FIRE: Bearing + Range = Victory. Enter your solution and let the shells fly.
