- Even a missed ice-archer shot adds a crack to its target tile; the terrain keeps score.
Field notes
The demo presents a turn-based grid encounter in which squads are placed on marked ice-thickness lines; neighboring units add to one another’s load, so a formation can become its own hazard. Controls include drag-and-drop or keyboard selection with Tab, arrow keys, and Enter. The surrounding campaign material includes battle records from Captain Rask and roles such as ice archers, artillery haulers, and a medic; the page also links privacy, terms, and EULA documents.
