Battlefield
Areas
The battlefield consists of two areas - the player area and the enemy area. Your units can only be placed on tiles within your own area. Both areas are separated into three columns: left flank - A, center - B and right flanks - C. Normally, attacks only happen on the same column.
Lines
Additionally an area consists of four lines.
1) Battle Line: In general, attacks can only be started from units placed on the Battle Line.
2) Support Line: Units that are positioned here can support the attack of units on the Battle Line to increase the damage output.
3+4) Deployment Lines: In the beginning of a battle six of your units get randomly deployed on these two lines. If you have more than six units in your army, some units will be kept in reserve and automatically enter the battlefield at a later stage.
Between the Support Line and the first Deployment Line lies the bunker that serves as tactical headquarters to the general. The bunker can also be attacked which means attacking the enemy general directly and thereby decreasing his Command Points.
Terrains
Columns can be one of many different terrains, which strongly influence the battle. Infantry units receive the biggest advantage from being deployed on special terrains like forests or cities.

Mission
Inside a chapter you can find a list of quests inspired by historic events. You can play or replay any already unlocked quest in any chosen order. At the beginning of a quest you have to pay the Supply Costs of your Army. You can see how much your currently selected Army costs in the Army Selection at the top of the screen.
There are different types of quests - four types:
1) Battle Quest - Select to start a battle where you have to win to receive rewards. Every time you win you reach a higher stage of that quest. You can play a Battle Quest until you reach the 5th stage, but after that it won't yield any more rewards.
2) Gate Quest - These quests mark the end of a section and only by completing them can you unlock the next section and the new quests for this chapter. In these quests you need to fight multiple times to reach full progress. Progress decreases over time so you need to finish the quest quickly. Gate Quests that finalize an entire campaign reward you with a unit.
3) Scenarios - You will fight with a predefined set of units and cards. This time you cannot win by making your Army stronger but only by adapting your strategy. You can redo these quests, but you cannot gain rewards after the first attempt.
4)Challenges - Face a mighty and almost undefeatable General on your own. Activate your friends to cooperate with you and together you will achieve victory. You have to defeat the enemy within a certain amount of time, so recruit as many friends as you can. When fighting against the General try to destroy as many of his units as you can. The Supply Costs of these units will transfer into the amount of Hit Points the General will lose when you win. Helping your friends with their Challenges is a great way to gain Supplies. For every friend you have a certain amount of Reputation that the Supply Costs of your Army will be drawn from.
