Broken Arrow Vanguard Edition

Broken Arrow is a large-scale, real-time modern warfare tactics game. You command joint forces across land, sea and air, combining units to seize positions, defend against attacks and outmaneuver the enemy. It features over 300 military units and technologies, with more than 1,500 possible combinations for building and customizing your army.

Campaign

The story campaign contains 19 handcrafted missions set in the Baltic region, played from the perspectives of the United States and Russia. As global tensions escalate, missions introduce new tactical challenges and story developments. You may defend key positions with elite units or launch combined-arms offensives.

Game modes

Skirmish mode lets you fight AI opponents on 19 maps based on real-world locations. You can choose specializations and difficulty levels, and play with friends against AI presets representing the Battlegroups you will face on the battlefield. Skirmish does not allow you to team up with AI as allies.

Online multiplayer supports matches of up to 5vs5. You can track your progress on the leaderboard, gain experience as a general, level up and earn medals.

Build your forces

You create an army deck by selecting units and customizing them to suit your strategy. Vehicles and aircraft can be equipped with different weapons, armor packages and support systems. The six unit roles are:

• Recon Units: spot and mark enemy positions.
• Infantry: versatile ground troops with various weapons.
• Fighting Vehicles: tanks, ATGM carriers and fire support vehicles.
• Support: artillery and anti-aircraft units that provide long-range support.
• Helicopters: rapidly deploy troops and carry out hit-and-run tactics.
• Airplanes: interceptors and ground attack aircraft that control the skies.

Battlefield tactics

Deploy forces by land, sea and air. Use paratroopers and helicopters to seize key locations quickly, reinforce them with heavy tanks, and break enemy counterattacks with artillery and tactical missile strikes. Special forces can infiltrate behind enemy lines to disrupt logistics and provide laser designation for aircraft. You can also use terrain to ambush, outflank and outsmart opponents.

Battles take place across expansive environments inspired by real-world locations, including industrial harbors and sprawling urban centers. Terrain creates opportunities to ambush enemies, secure key positions and carry out flanking maneuvers.

Scenario editor

The Scenario Editor uses the same tools as the game's missions. You can create custom scenarios with cutscenes and dialogue through a visual scripting system that requires no coding, then share them through the Steam Workshop or download scenarios made by other players.
