Tank Island

You don't command from the sky – you sit inside the Vanguard, a heavily armed hover-tank, and fight on the front line while you build bases and call reinforcements from orbit.

Drive onto glowing bastion sites to drop a bastion, capture energy wells with power plants and add Barracks, Factory, Aerodrome and Uplink. Press 1–8 and a dropship delivers troopers, tanks, artillery or gunships right to your Vanguard, anywhere on the map. Research at the Uplink unlocks heavy units and the Orbital Strike.

Six battlefields – from a green valley over a lava rift, snowy passes and a desert to tropical islands and an alien crater – each with its own terrain, weather and light, an adaptive AI commander with three difficulty levels, a tutorial, campaign and skirmish mode. Your campaign progress is saved to the cloud when you are logged in.

Controls: WASD drive, mouse aim, left mouse plasma, right mouse missiles, Shift boost, Space hover-jump, E build, B build menu, R research, 1–8 call units, F/G/H orders, Q orbital strike, M map, Esc pause. Needs WebGL and a mouse.
