The objective is simple - For each stage you are presented one or more enemy units of various types, laid out on the field in a specific configuration. Your task is to place your units around the field with a simple tap to drop each in your desired location. You can even swipe in a line, curve, or other shape to place multiple units quickly. Unlike many mobile device games, Play The Field allow full control over your units. They can be selected with a quick touch or swipe, and ordered to attack, move, or hold with a simple touch. Levels start easy, but difficulty increases quickly as you proceed. So be ready for a challenge! Each stage is over when all enemy units are captured. Score is assigned based on how efficient you manage your units, and levels can be replayed many times to aim for a better score.
