How to start in FRONT 2026: the first 10 minutes

FRONT 2026 is a turn-based browser strategy game where you lead a real country with its 2026 army and economy. Nothing to install: it runs on phone, tablet and PC, and can be added to your home screen as an app.

1. Pick a country

Take a free country or take over an AI-led one with everything it built. Big countries have strong armies; small ones are easier to defend and grow fast.

2. Set your budget

The defense budget is GDP multiplied by the percentage you choose. A high share funds the army but slows the economy and lowers stability. In peacetime keep it moderate and invest in the economy and research.

3. Build and research

Farms feed soldiers, wells give oil, factories give equipment. Research unlocks better technology from level 1 to 10.

4. End the turn

A turn usually lasts 24 hours and all orders execute at the end. If every player finishes, the turn closes early and you get a summary of battles, deliveries and messages.

If you get stuck, the "Next step" card on My country tells you what to do, and search (press /) finds any term.
