Army Base

Prospectus

This is a simulation game where you become a commander for training new recruits. Your task is to lead them through various training facilities and transform ordinary privates into true fighters. Lead recruits through physical training, improve their endurance, teach them shooting, medicine, and tactical skills, improving the overall quality of your squad. Each zone of the base is responsible for its own type of training: a shooting range for accuracy, a sports area for strength, a medical center for skill recovery and healing. After training, send your trained soldiers into battle against the enemy, where they can demonstrate their acquired skills. But be prepared for the consequences—some soldiers may end up in the infirmary, and you'll have to ensure their recovery. You will constantly accept new recruits and improve the base's infrastructure to speed up and strengthen the training process. Develop buildings, open new training zones, and create the perfect army training system.

How it plays

Take your recruits to training stations. Recruits develop gradually. To pick up a recruit, simply approach them.

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a flexible screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. It adjusts itself to upright and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all present it properly. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Analyst's notes for simulation holdings

• Learn the loop before optimising it. Every simulation is a circle — earn, spend, expand, earn more — and the players who last are the ones who found the circle's slow point early.
• Watch one full cycle without touching anything. A simulation confesses its priorities when left alone: whatever runs out first is what the designer wants you managing.
• Small inefficiencies compound faster than big ones. A route that wastes ten seconds every cycle costs more than a disaster that happens once, so audit the routine before the dramatic.

Army Base — questions from the readership

What kind of game is Army Base, exactly?

We file it on the Simulation shelf of the ledger. It is a browser game through and through — the prospectus above is the publisher's own summary of what the game asks of you and what it gives back.

Can I play Army Base on a phone or tablet?

Yes — it runs in the browser on phones and tablets just as it does on a computer. It adjusts itself to upright and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all present it properly.

Is there anything to download or install first?

Nothing at all. Army Base is an HTML5 game: press the open button and it loads on this very page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind on your device.
