GAME OVERVIEW
Paper Wars is a turn-based tactical strategy game played on a hand-drawn, scrollable battlefield. Choose a commander, spend your setup budget on units, structures, and terrain, then drive a unit across the enemy's base camp to win.
Each turn you have three actions to spend among move, attack, overwatch, suppress, heal, smoke, salvage, purchase, airdrop, or destroy. Fog of war hides enemy units beyond your sight; flanking multipliers reward maneuvering; supply lines punish overextension; and the salvage economy turns wrecks into reinforcements.
Win by reaching the enemy back line — or, with elimination mode, by destroying their entire force.
COMMANDERS
