The point of WeeWar is to build an army and destroy your opponents.
To do this, you need to build units.
To build units, you need money.
To get money, you must capture bases.
Only bases generate income. The amount varies from map to map. This cash will be deposited every round.
Bases also build ground units and hovercraft.
Airports can build helicopters, and planes.
Ports can build hovercraft and ships.
Repair patches aren’t capturable. Repairing a unit on a patch totally repairs that unit!
Most units can either
1. Repair increase 1 or 2 HP
2. Move and stay
3. Move and attack
- Infantry & Hovercraft can capture if they are on a building. Infantry are a LOT weaker during capture.
- The Light Artillery, Heavy Artillery, and DFA units can not attack after moving.
- Planes can move, attack, and move again.
- Air units can’t be repaired.
- The Battleship can move and then attack twice.
Most units can only attack adjacent units, that is units they are right next to. Indirect units can fire on units in their range.
| Indirect Units | Range |
|---|---|
| Assault Artillery | 1-2 |
| Light Artillery | 2-3 |
| Heavy Artillery | 3-4 |
| DFA | 2-5 |
| Battleship | 1-5 |
Terrain
- Different units move differently over the different types of terrain.
- Some units can’t cross certain terrains.
- Some units get bonuses or penalties in combat if they are on a certain terrain.

Notes for Aspiring WeeWarLords
I have two corrections for you. The repair patches dont repair all the way. I’m not sure what the method is though. Also, air units can be repaired but only on your own airports. They repair 3, I think. :) Happy hunting!
