Why this exists
A love letter to real-time strategy
Before any of the engineering, there was a kid playing Command & Conquer until the room went dark around him.
Red Alert was the first game I loved hard enough to lose track of time in. Then came Generals, after work, in Amsterdam internet cafés. Plates of food by the keyboards. Someone two chairs away yelling “tank rush, I told you.”
Nobody sold us anything. If you lost, the other player was better that night.
I loved Red Alert. I loved OpenRA and the people who kept it alive. But I wanted a new vibe: real 3D, day turning into night, snow on the treads.
So I rebuilt it (every model, every sound) for a browser tab. You against a friend, or you against the machine, and nothing for sale in between.
RTS is back. Free, and for everyone.

The first thirty seconds of every match
Deploy.
-
One vehicle.
Every match starts the same way: a single construction vehicle and a patch of ground worth fighting for.
-
Jacks down.
Settling jacks lower, the chassis levels, the cab locks. An authored deployment sequence, animated from the vehicle into the construction yard.
-
The walls unfold.
Four wall packs swing out on authored hinges. Over fifteen hundred moving parts, every one animated in Blender.
-
Construction complete.
The plinth locks and the yard is yours. Now build everything else.

The game
A real RTS.
Not a demake.
Redline Wars runs the Red Alert skirmish rules on OpenRA's deterministic engine, compiled to WebAssembly, and draws every frame with its own WebGPU renderer. It is built as a desktop-first browser RTS: best on a machine with a discrete or Apple-class GPU, with a Turbo 60 mode for high frame rates. Everything you see and hear was made new.
Multiplayer
Host or join
A live room browser, on your network or over the internet. Lockstep, so everyone plays the exact same battle.
Day, night, weather
200+ lights
Searchlights, muzzle flashes and window glow after dark. Rain and snow that settle on the battlefield.
Fog of war
In 3D
Unexplored, remembered and in sight. Rendered as a real volume, not a black overlay, and it leaks nothing.
Voices
Five languages
Every faction's announcer speaks its own language. Hear “construction complete”:

01 / In command
One broken pact.
Two lines of command.
The peace is over. On either side of the red line, someone has to give the next order.
Allied forces / General Jerome Young
ALLIED COMMAND
Intelligence. Mobility. Precision.
With the pact in ruins, Allied command fights to hold the coalition together. Every route secured and every town defended buys time against Kirkov’s advance.
Rangers scout ahead. Spies open doors. Artillery and naval firepower support the push, while the Chronosphere creates an opening where the enemy least expects it.
Explore Allied forcesSoviet Union / General Sevastyan Dmitrievich Kirkov
KIRKOV
Order. Industry. Overwhelming force.
Kirkov once guarded the frontier the pact was meant to keep peaceful. When that pact collapsed, he saw negotiation as a weakness the Soviet Union could no longer afford.
Now the Allied coalition faces his answer: factories working through the night and armour rolling across the red line. He promises to restore order. The Allies know whose order it would be.
