IRON NEST guides
20 focused manuals, organized by the job you are trying to complete—not by near-duplicate keyword variations.
Beginner Guide
A practical IRON NEST beginner walkthrough from teleprinter order and map plotting to ballistics, loading, firing, and correcting a missed shot.
Read guide →
Map Measurement
Use the IRON NEST tactical map to plot full grid coordinates, draw bearing lines and distance arcs, and read the final NEST-to-target bearing and range.
Read guide →
Shell & Ammunition Reference
A role-based shell reference for destructive fire, screening, observation, reconnaissance, and mission-specific ammunition, with a verification workflow for patch changes.
Read guide →Start operating
Controls, reports, firing cards, and the complete first-shot workflow.
Beginner Guide
A practical IRON NEST beginner walkthrough from teleprinter order and map plotting to ballistics, loading, firing, and correcting a missed shot.
Read guide →
Spotter Position
Find targets from IRON NEST spotter reports by preserving each origin, plotting bearings or distance arcs, and measuring the final shot from the current NEST.
Read guide →
First Firing Solution
Build your first IRON NEST firing solution by converting a confirmed target into bearing, range, shell, powder-charge count, and matching gun elevation.
Read guide →
Controls & Keybinds
Learn the control logic for moving through the NEST, operating stations, handling the tactical map, and using a controller without memorizing an outdated key list.
Read guide →Clipboard & Firing Card
Turn orders and map measurements into a clean firing card that keeps target, bearing, range, shell, charges, and elevation attached to the same shot.
Read guide →
Teleprinter & Field Reports
Read High Command orders and field reports without confusing a spotter origin, target clue, mission requirement, or later correction.
Read guide →Map & locate targets
Coordinates, tokens, spotter reports, bearings, distance circles, and triangulation.
How to Triangulate
Learn how to triangulate a target or observer in IRON NEST using two bearing reports, correct origins, clean map lines, and an intersection check.
Read guide →Map Measurement
Use the IRON NEST tactical map to plot full grid coordinates, draw bearing lines and distance arcs, and read the final NEST-to-target bearing and range.
Read guide →Tactical Map Tokens
Use map tokens as a readable intelligence system for the NEST, numbered spotters, targets, candidate positions, and completed objectives.
Read guide →Distance Circles & Compass
Plot distance reports as circles or arcs, combine them with bearings, and choose the correct intersection without turning a radius into firing range.
Read guide →Ballistics & correction
Calculator transfer, powder planning, impact correction, and systematic troubleshooting.
Powder Charges
Understand what powder charges change in IRON NEST, how to pair them with range and elevation, and when extra charges help or waste resources.
Read guide →
Ballistic Calculator
Use the IRON NEST ballistic calculator correctly: measure range, choose charges, read elevation, transfer the solution, and diagnose bad outputs.
Read guide →Common Aiming Mistakes
Diagnose left-right misses, short or long impacts, failed objectives, and inconsistent shots by checking the smallest relevant set of inputs.
Read guide →
Artillery Correction
Turn impact observations into controlled map or ballistic corrections without rebuilding an accurate part of the firing solution.
Read guide →Powder Charge Range Planning
Compare valid charge-and-elevation solutions without publishing stale universal firing numbers, and choose a trajectory for time, elevation, and supply constraints.
Read guide →Armory, logistics & survival
Shell selection, supplies, relocation, technical requirements, and operation planning.
Ammo Types
Choose IRON NEST ammunition by mission objective and target role, from direct destruction to smoke, illumination, observation, and special objectives.
Read guide →
Requisition & Supplies
Plan requisition spending around mission-critical ammunition, reconnaissance, movement, and the supplies needed to finish the operation.
Read guide →
Battery Relocation
Move the NEST deliberately, update the tactical map, invalidate stale firing cards, and rebuild every active solution from the new position.
Read guide →Shell & Ammunition Reference
A role-based shell reference for destructive fire, screening, observation, reconnaissance, and mission-specific ammunition, with a verification workflow for patch changes.
Read guide →System Requirements
Check the official minimum and recommended PC requirements, Windows-only platform status, storage needs, controller support, and practical setup checks.
