Narrow Front is a WWII strategy game played in portrait with one thumb. Fight fast battles from Normandy to the Rhine, build an army camp that grows into land held by the dead, and hold the line until dawn. Tap. Deploy. Break through. Deploy rifle sections, machine-gun teams, mortars, engineers, medics and tanks with a tap. Push them up a living battlefield, take houses with infantry, and call in recon, mortars, artillery and air strikes to break the enemy line. Battles are quick and easy to read. Ten missions, Normandy to the Rhine Follow Baker Section from the hedgerows of June 1944 to the bridge at Remagen in March 1945. Every mission has its own map, objectives and story, told in illustrated motion-comic cutscenes with voiced radio calls. Replay on Veteran for three stars. Build your army camp Raise your camp from a pup tent to a fortress HQ across ten Command Post levels. Builders put up barracks, a motor pool, producers, walls, towers and defenses, and every level opens something new: army tents, searchlights, mortar pits, AA guns, flame bunkers and a radio mast. Train your troops, collect from your producers and finish the day's camp orders. Take the land back from the dead The ground beyond the wire is held by the dead. Clear it plot by plot in short assaults: lead your own troops in, burn every nest, and the wire moves out. At night the dead come for the camp itself. Watch the raid forecast, man the defenses and hold. DEAD OF NIGHT Survive the night against waves of the dead: walkers, runners, crawlers, fallen soldiers and four great bosses. Pick a boon between waves, burn them back with the Churchill Crocodile's flamethrower, fight for supply drops, bring survivors home and hold until dawn. Blood can be turned off in Settings. THE FRONT Fight a war across a campaign map. Push the front line sector by sector, scout with recon, launch operations of linked battles, and answer the enemy's counter-attacks and outbreaks of the dead. THE WORLD Take a place on a shared world map with up to 100 commanders. March your army out to strongpoints, supply drops, crash sites and outbreaks, fight for them and bring the loot home. 24 tanks from three armies Stuarts, Shermans, the Jumbo and the Pershing. Cromwells, Churchills, the Firefly, the Crocodile and the Comet. On the other side of the road: Panzer II, III and IV, the Panther, the Tiger and the King Tiger.
