About game
Tactical mastery often trumps raw reflexes in the best real-time tank strategy games. Iron Harvest demands a focused mind as you lead squads of twenty soldiers and heavy tanks into chaotic fronts. You command twelve units per match, carefully deciding whether to rush a single lane or divide the enemy forces across the map. Reinforcements trigger every five seconds, keeping the pressure high while you counter every move your opponent makes. Steel clashes on the battlefield until the enemy base finally falls under the weight of your assault. Detailed post-match reports track every tank destroyed or captured to help you refine your tactics. Winning the intense sixteen-team championship requires careful planning and strategic hiring between rounds. Jump into Iron Harvest directly in your browser without any installation required.
How to play
Desktop:
• Keys 1, 2, 3 — deploy a squad from the left, center or right lane.
• V — toggle view ranges and fire distance zones.
• Enter or Space — confirm a choice in menus.
• In 2-player duel, player 2 uses the arrow keys ← ↑ → instead of digits.

How the battle works:
• Squads accumulate on their own every 5 seconds — watch the ready counter.
• A team has 12 tanks: once the pool runs dry, no more reinforcements.
• Your goal is to knock out enemy bases (the exact number needed is shown at the top).
• After the battle, read the report: destroyed, lost, bases, time.
• In the championship: pick your color, fight through the knockout bracket, hire reinforcements between matches.
