Leaderboards

Five ways to measure yourself against every other commander, and the awards along the way.

The standings live in Game Center: open Leaderboards from the game's title screen, or see them in Apple's Games app. This page explains what each board ranks and how its scores are made.

What each board ranks

The boards

Every day

Daily Operation

One short battle with a twist, the same for every player that day. A new one begins at 08:00 UTC, midnight on the US west coast. Play it as often as you like: your best score of the day goes to the day's board.

Win day after day to build a streak. The battle comes from the 14 battles of ten turns or fewer, and is never the week's battle.

Every week

Weekly Operation

One battle from all 48, with its own twist, the same for every player that week. The week turns at midnight UTC on Monday morning, and your best score of the week stands on its board.

Three stars in a Weekly Operation earns the Operation Accomplished award.

All time

Campaign

One board for each campaign: The Axis Campaign, The Western Allies and The Red Army. Your campaign's running score is posted after every battle, and your best total stands.

All time

Multiplayer

Your wins against other players, in Scenario matches and Battle Mode: battles fought out, or an opponent resigning from turn 3 on, and against any one opponent one win a day. Your full record, against each opponent and every win, is kept in the game under Your Record.

In the game, Leaderboards has three tabs (Operations, Campaign and Multiplayer) and a Friends switch for the players you know. Tap a Daily or Weekly row for that player's score card: what the score is made of, and their film of the battle.

Daily and Weekly Operations

How a score is made

A defeat scores nothing. A victory adds up its stars, the turns it had to spare, the enemy it destroyed and the army it kept:

For	Points
Battle won	1,000
Won decisively	1,000
No units lost	1,000
Each turn to spare	150
Each enemy unit destroyed	60
Each of your units lost	−120

Score = those points × difficulty (Easy ×0.35, Normal ×1, Hard ×2) × the twist (×1.2 to ×1.4)

For example, a decisive win on Normal with 3 turns to spare, 8 enemy units destroyed and 1 unit lost, in a Blizzard: (2,000 + 450 + 480 − 120) × 1 × 1.2 = 3,372.

The twists

Twist	What changes	Score
Blizzard	Snow for the whole battle.	×1.2
Grounded	Your aircraft stay on the ground.	×1.2
Veteran Enemy	Every enemy unit is a grade more experienced.	×1.4
Against the Clock	Three turns fewer to win.	×1.4
Understrength	Your units start at 8 strength.	×1.3
Enemy Reserves	The enemy fields two extra units of its best type.	×1.3

Harder twists pay more. A twist that would make a battle easier is never chosen for it: a shorter clock never comes with a holding battle, and Grounded only where you have aircraft to ground and something else to fight with.

Your service record keeps every day and week you have played: the battle, your score and, once the board has closed, your place on it.

The campaign boards

Campaign score

Every campaign battle scores as an operation does: 1,000 a star, 150 a turn to spare, 60 an enemy unit destroyed and 120 off for each unit lost, never below nothing. Turns to spare count against the battle as written, so neither the difficulty nor the campaign's tuning adds points or costs them.

Then it is weighted. Battles further into the campaign are worth more, from ×1 at the first stage up to ×2 at the last. Hard pays ×2 and Easy ×0.35. A win your side never had in the real war pays ×1.25. Winning the campaign adds 5,000 points, times the difficulty. A longer road through the campaign earns no more: only your best battles count, as many as the road of decisive victories has. Each score on the boards shows the difficulty it was earned on.

A battle is scored once: a loss sends the campaign down the defeat branch, and there is no replaying it. Your total is shown at Headquarters and at the end of the war, with your worldwide place when Game Center gives one.

Watch the leader

Films of the leaders

Every battle is filmed as it is fought. Win the day's or the week's operation and your film of it goes beside your score, so other players can watch how it was won: the whole map, turn by turn, the armies' ground washed in their colours, towns changing hands and the result.

Both operation boards have a Watch the Leader card and a picture on every row that has a film. Films are kept in Apple's iCloud, checked against the player's Game Center score, and shared only for players of age. Sharing is on unless you switch it off in Settings › Game Center, which also takes down every film you have shared. See the privacy policy.

Any battle's film can also be watched from its result screen, saved as a video and shared.
