Operate the machine
IRON NEST is a hands-on simulator: orders arrive by teleprinter, you turn them into a firing solution, then you work the levers yourself. These are the systems behind every shot — the intel chain, the fire-control loop, traverse, logistics and how you unlock more of the machine over time.

Intelligence / receiving orders
In IRON NEST you calibrate a teleprinter and monitor radio traffic to receive orders and coordinates — the first link in the chain that ends with a shell on target.
