Army Commander

About Army Commander: Idle Military Base Management Game

Army Commander puts you in charge of a growing military camp, where conscripts queue at your desk waiting to be signed up, trained, and deployed. The game is an idle management experience built around a loop of recruiting, training, maintaining equipment, and launching operations across contested territories. As your rank climbs from Second Lieutenant to General, the base expands from a pair of rifle ranges into a full installation with heavy infantry facilities, anti-air positions, a tank hangar, and an aircraft hangar.

Keeping the base operational means more than just signing recruits — weapon lockers need restocking from gun storage, broken targets and weapons need repairs, and every five recruits an army official delivers your pay. The War Room opens when your squad is ready, sending soldiers out on missions across three fronts where each captured territory pays out and unlocks the next. Later targets demand larger, mixed squads that include specialists, tanks, and aircraft.

Rank progression unlocks new buildings, room upgrades, and three helpers: a technician who handles repairs, a quartermaster who restocks weapons, and a recruiter who runs the desk independently. Daily orders, supply crates, and airdrops provide additional income. Cosmetic options include uniform skins, berets, and flags representing 40 countries.

How to Play Army Commander

Recruiting and Training

• Stand on the Accept circle behind the desk to sign up the conscript at the front of the queue.
• Recruits walk to a free training room, pick up a weapon, and train before marching to the War Room as graduates.
• Collect the money the official leaves beside the desk after every five recruits.

Base Maintenance

• When a locker runs empty, take a weapon box from Gun Storage and carry it to the room's Refill circle.
• If a weapon or target breaks, stand on its Fix circle to repair it.
• Stand on yellow unlock and upgrade circles to buy new rooms, hangars, and helpers.

War Room Operations

• Walk into the War Room, pick a territory, choose your squad, and launch the operation.
• Soldiers sent on a mission do not return, so keep recruiting to maintain squad strength.
• Each captured territory pays out and unlocks the next; later targets require bigger, mixed squads with specialists, tanks, and aircraft.
• Follow the guide arrow and the objective card when unsure what to do next.
