WHAT YOU DO
Prepare at base. Fight in turns.
Warhounds combines a mercenary campaign with turn-based squad combat. The base handles recruitment, equipment and resources; missions ask you to read objectives, position soldiers and choose attacks. The screenshot above shows the tactical layer, not the whole campaign.
Read the objective and firing lane
Combat includes destructible cover, elevation and cone overwatch. Start with the objective and movement example, then check bursts, cover and friendly-fire risks before treating a high percentage as a safe outcome.
Choose allies and contracts
Faction relationships and campaign decisions affect access to missions, equipment and allies. For the documented Workshop change, see how the Recon Drone unlock changed.
Gameplay features: official Steam description, checked September 17, 2026. The developer’s 25–40 minute mission estimate is not a full-campaign completion time.

READ THE SCREEN
Why does this shot show 45%?
The official screenshot lists accuracy +80, distance −20 and cover −15: 80 − 20 − 15 = 45. The adjacent damage value is a separate readout. This explains the pictured shot, not a universal formula or a current-build test.
- 01Find the penalty
The preview names distance and cover separately, so a low percentage has visible context.
- 02Compare the next preview
A changed position or target needs its own readout; do not carry this 45% over to another shot.
