The player views the campaign from an overhead perspective and guides a convoy between locations on a large European map. Travel consumes resources and exposes the group to hazards, enemy attacks, and opportunities to obtain supplies or improve the convoy.

Encounters shift the focus toward direct combat. The player maneuvers vehicles, uses mounted weapons, protects important members of the convoy, and decides when to continue or avoid a fight. Progress depends on route selection, resource management, and preserving enough vehicles and ammunition to complete the campaign.

Plan routes around fuel and ammunition rather than choosing the shortest path automatically. A convoy that reaches a destination with no supplies may be in worse condition than one that takes a longer route through a safer or better-stocked area.

Avoid unnecessary battles early in a campaign. Preserve vehicles and weapons, use terrain and maneuvering during encounters, and treat every replacement or resupply opportunity as important because losses can reduce later options.
