War Room map and episodes

Dawn Aerowar is an interactive animated film, not a game. The War Room is the map you return to between episodes. It is not a flight planner and not a combat map you move a unit on.

What the official screenshot shows

The official site describes twelve missions along one route, “from the northern front to the strait, the Aegis Sea and the Capital.” An official Steam screenshot of the War Room is labeled WAR MAP. Its progress reads 04 / 11. The visible nodes are numbered 01 through 11. A card on that screen reads “ANOTHER LIFE / Episode 5 · Dagger Strait.” Place names you can read include Gauleia, Dagger Strait, and Galia. A translucent card near node 04 shows the words KIA / REAPER. The publisher did not add a caption explaining that card.

I keep two counts. The film is 12 episodes in the store copy and on the official site. The map UI and the achievement “Complete all eleven missions” both say eleven. I do not collapse those into one number.

Nodes stay locked until the previous episode has been watched. Dossiers open after an episode. The communications list only keeps episodes you have already seen. Tabs on the screenshot read Files, Communications, and Clips & Images.

Twelve episodes

Episode titles, runtimes, and most theater assignments have no public source. Empty cells stay empty. The Episode 5 theater is the only one printed on the map card, and even that card may be an operation name rather than the episode title. Achievement names are not used as episode titles.

Four theaters

These four names come from the official route sentence. Which episodes sit in which theater is not published, except the Episode 5 card at Dagger Strait.

Questions

Are there 12 missions or 11?

The site says twelve missions. The War Room screenshot shows nodes 01–11, and one achievement says “eleven missions.” Both stay on this page.

What is episode 1 called?

No public episode title list exists. The table leaves the title blank.
