Radar Shadow

FIND THEM BEFORE THEY FIND YOU. Both sides can see the terrain. Neither can see what the other has built. The enemy has one command base on their half of the map. You don't know which hex it's on, and they don't know where yours is. Destroy theirs before they find yours. Scout before you shoot A missile flies to the hex you point it at. If nobody has looked at that hex, you're guessing. Send a drone with a camera and the fog lifts along its route. Where no drone can reach, use satellite reconnaissance. Draw the route yourself You plot every strike hex by hex. Go around a battery and you burn range. Go straight through and you lose aircraft. Forest screens you from radar, towns give you away, and a ridge between you and the radar can hide you from it. The blind zone behind a ridge has a name: radar shadow. Watch where your aircraft come down. Every one that crashes into a town or village kills civilians, and civilian deaths cost you foreign support. Radar first, guns second Meanwhile their drones are over your territory. Air defence fires only at detected targets, and each battery can hold only so many at once. One expensive aircraft is easy to stop. A swarm of cheap ones is not, and the same arithmetic works against you. Jam their comms A jammer shoots nothing down. It gets in the way: over its area, enemy aircraft fail more often and come down short of the target. Cheap single-frequency radios suffer most, multi-frequency ones less, and a satellite link can only be touched by the orbital set. A barrage set covers a circle; a sector set reaches further and hits harder, but down a narrow corridor. Put one across their routes and your guns get fewer targets. Against their satellite there is the blinding set: a pass over it brings back noise instead of a picture. Decoys pull enemy strikes away from what matters. Every aircraft is a blueprint Every drone and every missile is a hull with bays, and you decide what goes in them: warhead, fuel tank, engine, radio, camera. A heavier warhead costs you range. A cheap single-frequency radio is easy to jam. An autonomous aircraft can't be jammed at all, but it never reports what it saw. Research opens new hulls and modules, along with better detection, air defence, jamming and directives for the whole country. Found their base? Launch from several points at once: while its air defence is busy with some of your aircraft, the rest get through. In development Radar Shadow is in development. Everything on this page is captured from the current build, and details may change before release. If this sounds like your kind of strategy game, add it to your wishlist.
