Double Envelopment

In Double Envelopment, you are in charge of constructing an army, managing a budget, and conducting strategic offensives by drawing arrows and placing target zones, keeping your war effort alive while capturing enemy settlements and infrastructure.

GAMEPLAY

In Double Envelopment, you have a gods-eye view of the battlefield. Watch your strategies play out and armies clash as you turn enemy fortifications to rubble!

In campaign mode, your starting point is a main base that allows you to spawn units. Aside from your offensive objectives, you must also defend your main base from attacks, because losing all your bases, even without losing all your units, will result in losing the level.

Conduct offensives by drawing arrows on the map towards your objectives, and use supply trucks to establish forward operating bases and consolidate your gains. Use air units to gain air superiority and anti-air units to deny your enemy air power. Execute strategic, operational, and tactical maneuvers to complete your mission.

LEVELS AND LEVEL MAPS

Early Access Double Envelopment will include ten levels, with maps ranging from frozen tundra to arid deserts to tropical archipelagos. Each level will present unique and diverse challenges, such as difficult terrain/water, that you must strategically overcome to win. Double Envelopment will go on feature at least a hundred levels with increasing size and difficulty.

Your primary objective in each level is to assault cities and capture them, defeating every enemy unit inside the city and occupying it.

During gameplay, you must also manage supply trucks and use them to place forward posts near your front line. You are only able to place forward posts within close range of supply trucks, and you also must guard your posts as they can be destroyed by enemy fire.

Destroy every enemy command post (red-colored barracks buildings) you see on the map, using any units you have available, as enemy command posts will continue spawning new enemies until they are destroyed.

Take over every settlement on the map while avoiding running out of money or units. You must also defeat every enemy unit on the map to complete the mission.

UNITS

You have access to several distinct units, including-

-"Stormer" unarmed conscript soldiers for quick and cheap tactical wins (at cost to morale)
-Infantry riflemen, foot soldiers with standard issue assault rifles
-Anti-tank soldiers with NLAWs
-Snipers
-Paratroopers, stronger versions of infantry but equipped with armor and higher resilience, making groups of them good shock forces
-Main battle tanks
-Attack and troop carrier helos.
-Missile launch trucks, able to launch ballistic missiles against enemy units, command posts, and buildings.
-Fighter jets, the deadliest of available units, for conducting high-stakes offensive airborne ops.

As of January 2026, the enemy faction has access to all of these unit types.

Avoid losing too many units or morale suffers, weakening current and spawned units over time!
