About the Game

The year is 1951.

Atomic experiments in Nevada's test sites have gone horribly wrong. Giant mutant fire ants are spreading across the American Southwest, overwhelming military outposts, threatening civilian communities, and marching toward Las Vegas.

Take command of Task Force Sable and lead America's defence against the growing ant menace in a story-driven tactical defence campaign inspired by classic 1950s creature features.

Across 30 handcrafted missions, you'll rescue civilians, destroy nests, fortify strategic positions, and battle increasingly dangerous ant castes as the invasion escalates.

Command Task Force Sable:

Deploy infantry, APCs, tanks, artillery, and experimental anti-ant technology to complete objectives and hold back relentless swarms. Position your forces carefully, establish overlapping fields of fire, and make every deployment count.

Key Characters:

  • Lieutenant Johnny Henderson: A brave GI officer who inspires troops and works closely with Professor Carter.

  • General Gordon McCoy: A determined leader fighting political red tape to provide essential resources.

  • Professor Gillian Carter: A dedicated scientist developing innovative solutions to combat the ants.

Battle the Growing Threat:

Each ant type presents a different tactical challenge. Some target your defences, others hunt your troops, while massive queens and airborne drones emerge as the infestation spreads.

Turn the Tide:

Call in artillery strikes, air support, pheromone-based experimental weapons, and the devastating Atomic Annie nuclear artillery system to keep the Southwest from falling.

The ants are coming.

Can Task Force Sable stop them?
