Assault & Strategy is a strategic military game. This is not a brawling game.
Strategy and coordination between players is the basis of the game. It's very difficult to obtain victories and result if you play alone. For that, communication and information tools are offered to players, and many more will come, and you can participate to create them !
This game is a never-ending war between 2 ancestral enemies armies, Red and Blue. Blue are the ugly men,
and Red are the bad ones, or may be it's the contrary... we don'k know.
Finally, we're fighting each other... mean guys we are !
A player can choose his color, Red or Blue, when he arrives in the game.
But during a game (until an HQ is killed), changing color is not allowed.
Once a HQ is killed, companies and solos are divided among Red and Blue armies, evenly,
in order to have a balanced force.
So, your previous friend should be your enemy in the next conflict ! (unless you and he joined a same company...)
