What is Ash of the Front?

For forty years the war has ground down the Valley of Sorrow, the last pass to Calder, the city where the lights still burn. The Ash Corps holds the valley. The Rust Legion is coming through.

A grim real-time strategy in a fictional dieselpunk world. Command companies of gas-masked soldiers, tanks and artillery while Marshal Weyland briefs you before every mission.

• A 12-mission campaign: breakthroughs, last stands, tank battles, a raid with no reinforcements, a citadel siege.
• Hundreds of soldiers at once: infantry goes prone, rushes, occupies houses and fires from windows.
• Destructible world: shells crumble walls, houses collapse, fire spreads through grass.
• 5 theatres of war: mud, dead winter, mire, ash waste, fog.
• Tanks, mortars, gas, air strikes and heavy artillery.
• HQ Arsenal: army upgrades for tokens earned in battle.
• Skirmish on a random map.
• English and Russian.
