Find and verify
Use radar clues, reconnaissance, satellite imagery and reserve scans. Old contacts can move; apparent installations can be decoys.
VEIL
Find their radar. Hide yours. Decide when to commit. A simultaneous-turn tactical duel of reconnaissance, deception, and scarce ammunition.

Can you read the opposing commander before both plans unfold?
Spend four command points to search, strike, relocate, or deceive. Build a picture from uncertain contacts, protect your installations, and finish an operation in up to twelve rounds.
User value
Information is your first weapon.
A readable command center with hidden installations and simultaneous orders. Learn through short exercises, face an AI commander, or invite a friend to a private duel.
Commit a plan
Sequence scarce flights, choose what to defend, and decide when exposing your radar is worth the protection.
Learn from the outcome
Review what happened, replan a recorded round, and compare its result against the same opposing orders.
Features
Three theaters. Different decisions.
Northern Coast offers a clear baseline, Arid Gulf leaves room to disperse, and Industrial Estuary constrains movement across divided banks.
- 01
Learn in stages
Four Command School exercises introduce the systems. Six assignments offer different constraints and optional mastery goals.
- 02
Choose the pressure
Cadet, Regular and Veteran opponents combine with Observer, Raider and Deceiver styles. Core, Maneuver and Full command let you introduce rules gradually.
- 03
Keep a rivalry going
Invite a friend with a private link. Online turns, return briefings and mutual rematches support relaxed or timed duels.
- 04
Keep your operation
Solo saves stay in your browser. Export a copy to move devices or keep a backup. Solo and training support offline play after the first successful load.
Product concept
A small ruleset with consequential choices.
Five installations, four command points and a bounded operation keep each plan readable.
Build the picture
Distinguish fresh observations from aging tracks, empty sectors and jammed imagery.
Protect the next turn
A damaged radar weakens defense; a destroyed launch facility strands its remaining weapons. Movement and deception can preserve your options.
Test a different decision
The after-action lab compares a revised plan against recorded opposing orders. A solo practice branch lets you continue from the alternative.
Architecture
Your solo command stays on your device.
Solo play and training run in the browser. Private duels use an authoritative online service so each player sees only their own intelligence.
