What is Old Green-Yellow War

Pick a side—green or yellow—and lead your forces to victory in this minimalist tactical duel. The battlefield is simple, but every move counts.

How to Play

Select a territory that borders an enemy area to launch an attack, then choose how many units to move or reinforce. The goal is to surround and weaken the opponent’s strongholds until you claim the entire map.

Tips for Playing

Build a solid frontline early, but don’t ignore expanding behind it—secure safe areas for production.
Attack weaker border zones first to thin out the enemy’s forces without heavy losses.
Keep a reserve of units for defense; a sudden counterattack can flip the match.
Watch the turn count—if it’s limited, prioritize quick gains over long-term setups.
Focus on cutting off the enemy’s reinforcements by seizing key chokepoints.
