THE GAME

Completely playable on your desktop without installation, Small Forces is intuitive and yet original. You can use only your mouse but there are already many keyboard shortcuts that can help the player to have a faster control on the screen. The main left click/right click mechanic for selecting/moving troops in useful for people with familiar knowledge of RTS game, but remember that you need to flag enemies as "hostile" so that your units performs an attack on sight by left-clicking on them.

Other key shortcuts are:

  • SPACE - open/close the deploy tab.
  • A/Q - select all the allied units;
  • E - mark all the enemies units as "hostile";
  • Function keys - deploy the correspondent unit, if available;
  • P - pause the game;
  • ESC - surrender;
  • F - full screen;
  • I - show/hide mission infos;
  • Mouse wheel: zoom in and out;
  • Functions keys: deploy unit [working: F1, F2, F3].
