In 1983, an America from another universe invades the United States. Lead U.S. forces through a single-player campaign with fully voiced cutscenes as you uncover the conflict's story.
Fight turn-based battles on hex-grid maps using tanks, helicopters, artillery, infantry, and other period units. Position forces around terrain, manage their different movement and attack capabilities, and adapt your tactics to each mission's objectives.
Beyond the campaign, play one-off skirmishes against the AI or other players, with a Soviet faction and an unlockable option to play as the enemy. Optional activities include solitaire, a communications puzzle, and in-game military manuals.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its deliberate, puzzle-like battles, where positioning, terrain, and adapting to each mission matter. Reviews also highlight its Cold War atmosphere and presentation, as well as the optional solitaire and communications puzzle. Others find the battles slow and missions punishing, with complaints about enemy visibility and unpredictable damage.
