: Almost everything in the game—from unit upgrades to reinforcements—costs Prestige, which is earned by destroying enemies and completing mission objectives.

The game features a long campaign that begins with the Spanish Civil War and moves through major European operations.

: Players must actively manage and protect their supply chains. If a unit is cut off (indicated by red supply icons), it cannot refuel, rearm, or repair.

The game focuses on a "snowball" mechanic where your early-game success is vital for late-game survival.

: Units gain experience through combat. High-level "veteran" units are significantly more effective than "green" replacements, making unit preservation a top priority.
