Description
The war map is where the 'generals' portion of the game takes place. There are 23 capitals and countless cities as well as supply lines in between where battles can take place. One faction must capture 15 capitals in order to win.
The setting currently includes most of Europe excluding
- Large parts of Scandinavia
- Large parts of Russia
- Spain
- Portugal
- Various Islands
- Most of Ireland
Also, even though parts of Africa and various other regions are visible, they're empty and inaccessible.
Wars are won by strategic coordination of the officers and generals who control the assault teams and the formation and victory in battles which are fought by the heroes. Generals are nothing without their soldiers and vice versa.

Start of the War
At the start of the war each faction starts with three capitals :
Germany: Budapest, Rome, Athens
United States: Arnhem, Saint-Quentin, Edinburgh
Soviet Union: Leningrad, Warsaw, Donetsk
ATs are deployed at Capital cities and they make their way along supply lines to the frontline.
Moving ATs towards an enemy controlled and occupied area results in a war battle.
Winning the skirmish battle along a supply line near a city will let you attack the city where you can take it over if victorious.
Trivia
In the far bottom right (SE) corner of the map, on the eastern bank of the suez canal you can find the cities used in staged battles. They are in no way accessible with ATs or interactive.
