Actual, on the radio net
“Actual” means the commander in person, not a radio operator speaking for them.
In Callsign Actual, that’s you.
Features
The classic loop of harvest, build, train and fight, with present-day hardware on both sides.
Base building
Supply Trucks haul from caches to your Command Center. Power Plants keep production and defences running. Climb from Barracks to Motor Pool to Helipad and the Tactical Operations Center, then put it all into the field.
Factions
The Task Force fields guided missiles, a heavy main battle tank and an attack helicopter. OPFOR answers with cheaper infantry, quick-loading tanks, rocket artillery and a gunship that does two jobs. Different bases, different defences, different voices on the radio.
Support powers
Send a UAV over ground you've never seen. Drop an artillery barrage on a crowd, or an air strike on a structure; OPFOR fires rocket salvos and Lancet loitering munitions instead. Every aircraft can be shot down, so air defence matters.
Terrain
High ground shoots and sees further. Cliffs funnel attacks onto ramps. Tree lines hide what’s behind them. You start knowing nothing about where the enemy is: scout, or be found.
Controls
Full controller support with a virtual cursor and a control-group wheel, rebindable keys on keyboard, and an interface that scales up on handhelds like the Steam Deck. Save anywhere and pick it up later.
Factions
Two armies with their own units, defences, base architecture and voices. On the battlefield, blue is your side and red is the enemy.
Expeditionary and high-tech. Prefabricated halls on concrete pads, guided anti-tank missiles, a 120mm main battle tank, and helicopters split between attack and transport.
Cheap general-purpose infantry. Weak against armour.
Infantry with a guided anti-tank missile. Slow rate of fire.
Fast patrol vehicle with a heavy machine gun. Sees furthest.
Wheeled fighting vehicle with a 30mm autocannon. Carries five infantry.
Heavy armour and a 120mm gun, with a roof machine gun for infantry and aircraft.
Wheeled launcher with radar-guided missiles. Fires only at aircraft.
Flies over everything. Missiles for armour, a chain gun for the rest.
Lifts eight infantry over any terrain.
Dug in and hard-hitting. A base under camouflage netting and earth banks, cheap infantry in numbers, quick-loading tanks, rocket artillery and a gunship that carries troops.
Cheap rifle infantry that fights in numbers.
Cheap unguided anti-tank rockets. Short reach.
Fast eight-wheeled carrier with a 14.5mm gun. Carries six.
A 30mm cannon and an anti-tank missile on tracks. Carries three.
Lighter and cheaper than a Main Battle Tank, with a quick-loading 125mm gun.
Missiles for aircraft and twin 30mm cannons that also fire on the ground.
Rocket salvos onto ground out to 45 m. Needs others to spot for it.
Rocket pods, a gun that reaches aircraft, and six seats.
Battlefields
Every map has fog of war. You start knowing nothing about where the enemy is.
Town
An open town of winding roads and a market green, with a cliff-ringed hill on each flank. Four start sites; your opponent could be in any corner.
Deep forest
Deep forest that blocks movement and sight, cut by logging tracks and firebreaks. Scouting matters, and armies meet at short range.
Terraced high ground
Terraced high country. Each base sits on a cliff-ringed shelf, with the Crown, a summit rich in supplies, between them.
Industrial estate
An industrial estate of works halls, a foundry, a tank farm and a container terminal on a grid of avenues and alleys.
Media
Every image here is a render from the game itself: its own units, effects, terrain and lighting.
