Boots on the Ground

Players command an elite six-person squad composed of a leader, demo expert, heavy weapons specialist, medic, scout, and sniper as they carry out urban missions. Each scenario presents briefing objectives and known intel, then the squad moves through a modular urban map while insurgent forces approach from multiple directions. Decisions center on grouping or sending specialists to exploit unique skills, managing movement and combat against automated insurgent activity driven by a card system. The game supports solo play, cooperative two-player operations as Alpha and Bravo teams, competitive races to complete objectives, or a traditional two-sided wargame setup.
