How to play

Start with the economy, not tanks. Harvesters collect ore and deliver it to a refinery, where it turns into credits. Power Plants supply electricity, Barracks train infantry, and War Factories produce vehicles. Every building costs money, so spending everything on an army while your harvesters are still working can leave your base almost defenseless.

RedFront io has quite a few units to choose from: infantry, artillery, heavy tanks, helicopters and aircraft. You can also build defensive towers and unlock more advanced technology. A quick rush might catch someone unprepared, but remember that you need to destroy every enemy building to win. Even one forgotten structure keeps the opponent in the game.

The gameplay is closer to classic PC strategy games than most browser titles. Rise of Rex has similar unit controls, while RivalFront offers another take on real-time strategy with ground and air forces.
