Iron Nest Player Kills Allied Units and Civilians in 1 City Mission

A city-recapture mission in Iron Nest turns grim when shells aimed at anti-monarchist infantry also hit blue-marked allied units and civilians, prompting urgent cease-fire messages after one strike wipes out a loyal police unit.
That fallout comes after the player triangulates targets from multiple spotter reports, then manually works through the game’s detailed firing routine—plotting lines, calculating elevation, loading shells and powder charges, and rotating the turret.
Earlier, a calibration shot flew off the map because the firing line was drawn in the wrong direction, underscoring how the game ties battlefield outcomes directly to the player’s own calculations and handling.
The result shifts Iron Nest from tactile artillery sim toward a morally uneasy war game, using black-and-white impact photos and mission feedback to turn successful shots into evidence of collateral damage.
