During the battle phase, you command Human Tanks in order to defeat your enemy.
The battle ends when the victory or defeat condition is fulfilled.
When you click a unit with the word CONNECT displayed above it, you may take
direct command of it. If there are no units displaying CONNECT, simply wait
until one appears. Transmission speed affects the rate at which tanks enter the
CONNECT state.
A blue mark beside a unit indicates that it is under your command, and a red
mark indicates that it is an enemy unit.
The amount of supplies you receive after battle is based on the number of enemy
units you have destroyed. Defeating as many enemies as possible gives you an
advantage in the next battle.
When you lose, in most cases the game ends. However, there are some exceptions
in which the game continues on even after losing. In that case, you will still
receive supplies as if you won. Moreover, the result of the battle affects how
the main story progresses.

Displays actions that can be taken after selecting a unit in CONNECT state.
Attack
Orders a unit to attack an enemy within range. You may choose to attack empty
tiles or your own units as well. In this game, enemies may be hidden from sight
in UNKNOWN tiles. Attacking UNKNOWN tiles you suspect enemies may be hiding in
is a valid strategy. As you progress in development, you may assemble stronger
tanks with greater range and area of attack allowing you to destroy more units
at a time.
Move
Orders a unit to move. You may not cancel the order, so tread carefully. If you
encounter an enemy while moving across UNKNOWN tiles, you may not be able to
reach your initial destination. Be especially careful when moving across
UNKNOWN tiles.
Recon
Orders a unit to scan an area. By scanning UNKNOWN tiles, you can discover the
location of enemy units. In this game, standard battle progression flows as so:
Recon, Enemy Sighted, Attack, and Destroy.
Standby
Orders a unit to standby. The unit's turn ends when selected (it cannot act
again until it goes into CONNECT state). You may use it if you wish to reach
the time limit faster.
Intercept
A command only usable by interceptor tanks. This command replaces the attack
command, and makes the unit enter a state in which it will shoot down all
missiles within its intercept range.
Special Command
When equipped with certain modules, an extra command is displayed at the top of
the command panel allowing usage of the module. There are many single use
modules that you can take advantage of.
