Army Strategy
Play Army Strategy free online. Turn-based tactics: outmanoeuvre the computer’s army with spearmen, archers, riders and catapults.
Command a small army across three missions against a computer general. Each turn every unit can move and then attack. Spearmen stop cavalry, riders run down archers and catapults, and archers pick off spearmen from a distance — while forests and hills give cover. Catapults hit hardest of all but cannot fire after moving. Defeat every enemy, or plant a unit on the enemy banner and hold it for a whole turn. The computer opponent runs entirely in your browser.

How to play Army Strategy
Objective: Defeat every enemy unit, or hold the enemy banner 🏴 for a full turn.
- Tap one of your (blue) units: blue tiles show where it can move, red outlines show enemies it can attack.
- Move first, then attack — each unit gets one move and one attack per turn.
- Melee attacks draw a counter-attack if the defender survives; ranged attacks do not.
- Press End turn when you are done; the computer then moves its army.
- Win a mission to unlock the next one.
Scoring
Winning scores 1,000, minus 30 per round taken, plus 60 for each unit still standing.
Difficulty levels
Easy: one fewer enemy, and the computer often makes mistakes. Normal: a full enemy army that plays sensibly. Hard: an extra enemy unit and a careful opponent that focuses its fire.
Tips
- Wounded units hit for less — finish off weakened enemies.
- Park archers on hills and in forests, behind your spearmen.
- Riders are perfect for chasing down catapults.
- Watch your own banner: the computer will try to grab it.
