The troop deployment system is via a landing zone and/or an airport which unlocks and is used to deploy more advanced units. In most battles, the player starts out with a basic unit, and buys shafts to pump oil which automatically turns into funds for usage.

There are also skirmish battles which pit the player against either an AI opponent or a human opponent via War.net, a play on Blizzard Entertainment's. One unique aspect of the Russian campaign is the presence of a home base that persists throughout the campaign, allowing the player to transport troops back to home base after the conclusion of a mission. The game features multiple linear campaigns spanning across all three military powers, each with 5-10 missions. For example, Iraqi units all have a camouflage ability, allowing them to remain undetected in the absence of radar.


Each military power has its own unique units, abilities, and corresponding strategies. The player has the option of playing as Iraq, Russia, or the United States.
