Sapper

SAPPER is a tactical combat-engineering puzzle in which you must open a safe lane through a defended minefield before H-Hour.

Lead a small sapper team across churned battlefield terrain, probing the ground ahead while balancing speed against caution. Anti-personnel and anti-tank mines create different dangers depending on whether infantry or armour must use the lane. Mine detectors can reveal buried metal, but false readings and limited sweeps mean they cannot solve the field for you.

Barbed wire can be painstakingly cut or rapidly demolished with Bangalore charges. Every noisy action risks attracting enemy attention. Flares illuminate the battlefield, forcing the team to freeze, seek cover in shell holes, or continue working under the threat of machine-gun fire.

When you believe the route is ready, open the lane and send the waiting infantry or armour forward.

Each operation is procedurally generated and identified by a seed. Play quick operations or customise the mission type, difficulty, enemy activity and wire density, then replay or share particularly difficult fields.
