Iron Nest Campaign Operations (Missions 1–15)
Every campaign mission introduces distinct artillery challenges: moving naval and rail targets, enemy counter-battery salvos, emergency relocations, night illumination, and moral end-game decisions.
Calibration Fire
Master the foundational Iron Nest firing loop without combat pressure: line measurement, powder charge selection, gun elevation, and breach loading.
Fire and Light
Solve two-station spotter triangulation under night conditions, illuminate hostile infantry with Star Shells, and execute precision follow-up salvos.
Liberation
Rebuild shifted firing origins, interpret P4 reconnaissance data, and use Armor-Piercing (AP) shells to neutralize a fortified underground ammunition cache.
Counter-Battery
Survive intense enemy artillery fire under a strict Counter-Battery Timer (CBT). Pre-calculate coordinates and destroy hostile howitzers before their salvos hit.
Iron Road
Intercept and derail a moving armored supply train along railway waypoints, time the War Horn signal, and eliminate heavy AP emplacements.
Siege of Cartagena
Solve chained defensive installations, survive an Emergency Move relocation, and deploy smoke shells (SMK) to assist friendly infantry breakout.
The Gorge
Restart the damaged turret systems, operate with degraded acoustic sensors, and execute blind observed-fire corrections across a fog-covered mountain pass.
Rock of Gibraltar
Coordinate synchronized naval strikes, obey strict cease-fire time windows, and solve complex chained reference points without alerting enemy radar.
Dead Reckoning
Deploy Tear gas chemical shells to force camouflaged hostile garrison units to expose their positions before executing heavy destructive bombardment.
Phantom Battery
Engage an elusive mobile artillery battery that relocates after every volley. Utilize dual Position Reports to pinpoint firing origins after Emergency Move.
High Tide
Defend against amphibious landing craft assault waves. Manage dual-gun firing cycles across multiple fast-moving surface contacts until the 07:14 hold deadline.
Fire on Call
Provide precision fire support for advancing friendly units. Differentiate between safe barrage requests and high-risk close-proximity friendly-fire situations.
Blind Fire
Bombard unconfirmed hostile strongpoints through severe electrical storm interference. Leverage HCHE blast radius tolerance for high-uncertainty coordinates.
Final Harvest
Endure multi-front counter-battery fire while executing synchronized support missions. Replenish powder stocks before committing guns to long-range solutions.
White Shells
The climactic finale of Iron Nest. Decide the fate of Barcelona across 4 distinct ending paths: PRPG delivery, chemical submission, atomic strike, or open rebellion.
