CITY BATTLE

// REVIEW HUB — artillery mecha warfare on real city terrain

Web review of the game's data & designs. Shared data feeds the Unity game.

Tactical Map

Real Sydney terrain (accurate Copernicus DEM): topographic relief, contours, harbour water, 18k buildings. Fog-of-war LOS, gun-range rings, fire-analysis dead space, slope/trafficability, live weather & wind, WASD fly-cam, suburb overlay.

Crab Foundry

Rule-the-Waves-style designer. Pick a chassis, allocate per-zone armour, place guns at A/B/X/Y/wing stations with cones of fire, fit modules, see the immunity zone & derived class — with a live 3D model.

High Command

The RtW3 strategic layer: prestige/popularity (stay in power), victory points (win wars), tension between alt-history nations, budget, production → roster, events & missions.
