Action Game

The first major thing to understand about Heroes and Generals is that the game has two elements to it. The Heroes portion of the game, also know as the Action Game, is where players actually fight the battles as a FPS Game similar to any other but set in World War Two. However, it has more objectives then most other FPS shooter (e.g., COD) you must capture/defend the points to win. The FPS battles are determined by the Generals portion of the game in the form of a RTS (Real Time Strategy) Game via the Campaign map, also know as the Strategic Game. Generals use their assault teams on the campaign map to move them around to assault/defend supply lines and eventually cities. The RTS portion of the game is determined by the general's usage of their assault teams. Meaning, in the Action Game, you will only have available to your team whatever the Generals send to that battle, unless you are playing training missions, in which case you and the enemies resources will be balanced (same amount of Assault Teams, same type, etc)

= Game Types=

The game currently has two types of game modes. These are Assault and Skirmish. When players are playing through the campaign map, the the skirmishes can be noted by the smaller circles surrounding the city (larger circles). In order to assault a town, the skirmish must first be played outside the town for control over the supply line into the city.

Modes
In the assault game-mode one team is attacking and one team is defending. It should be noted that players can join these game types through the campaign map or the training missions. The training missions do not affect the outcome of the war and are created to have equal assault teams per side and quicker match availability to players. When playing through the training missions both attacking and defending sides will have the same type and number of assault teams to select from making for a more balanced match. When playing through the campaign mission, the type and amount of assault teams can greatly vary depending on the generals and officers who send assault teams to those specific cities on the campaign map.
