Steel Tide

Roll armour across a frozen lake at nightfall. Storm a beach behind a battleship's broadside. Black out a defensive line with an EMP and drive straight through it. Steel Tide is modern war in real time, on land, at sea and in the air, where weather, darkness and ground decide as much as the size of your army.The battlefield fights back
Rain cuts every unit's sight and snow slows everything on the ground. Day turns to night while you fight, and in the dark only radar sees as far. Towns force armour into their streets, rivers hold an army at the bridge, reefs run ships aground, and high ground hides whoever holds it. Read the ground well and a smaller army can win.Every weapon has its prey
Cannons crack armour, machine guns shred light vehicles, artillery breaks dug-in lines, and only real anti-air can touch a jet. No single unit wins alone. Rocket batteries pound a base from behind a ridge while interceptor towers shoot the rockets down. Submarines hunt unseen until sonar finds them. Crews that survive become veterans. Build the mix that beats theirs.Choose a doctrine, change the war
Your War Lab commits you to one doctrine a match. Lightning moves faster and sends in suicide drones. Hammer hits harder and fires ballistic missiles. Anvil digs in, shrugs off fire and repairs in the field. Scout what the enemy chose, then research the counter before it reaches your gate.The Gulf War, under other flags
Nine missions retrace 1990–91 in the order it was fought: the first night of the air war, a midnight hunt for missile launchers, a night holding the coast against wave after wave, a fleet sunk and an island stormed, a fortified line breached in the rain, the meeting battle at 73 Easting, the tank battle on Hadid Ridge, and the push into the capital at dusk. New to real-time strategy? A day on the training ground walks you through every step first.Your war, your rules
Conquest: build, expand and wipe them off the map. Frontline: carve the map into sectors, build only where your supply reaches, and bleed the enemy's reserve dry.
