First stopHigh Command typewriter for orders, objectives, ordnance, Iron Nest position, and map data.
Second stopField Intelligence typewriter for target type, bearings, distances, and extra spotter reports.
ClipboardUseful lines can be copied for map work; stale notes should be removed to avoid mixing setup bearings with final firing data.

Exact key bindings, powder-charge counts, and mission-specific answers should be rechecked in the current build before publishing deeper walkthroughs.

Procedure

Recommended workflow

  1. Place the Iron Nest token at the confirmed starting location.
  2. Place spotters and reference points from the mission brief or field reports.
  3. Use bearing lines or distance arcs to locate the target.
  4. Draw the final line from the Iron Nest to the target and keep only that final range and bearing.
  5. Enter distance, bearing, shell type, charge count, target type, and elevation into the calculator flow.
  6. Load the selected shell and powder charges, set rotation and elevation, then fire.
