More QOL, turn limit increase

Cold War Battles · published 31 Aug 2026, 13:18 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

With no game breaking bugs or crashes reported these updates have been fairly small affairs and going forward the plan is to have them a little less frequent as I know people don't like a game having to update each time they play.

The turn limit has increased by 1 on all offensive scenarios and by 2 on a couple of ones which folk were struggling with. The first Soviet campaign mission for example. Top tip, you can win scenarios without capturing every VP.

I hope to write a mini guide on Steam soon to share some further tips to help you all succeed. Of course the manual will be useful too.

The text in the keyboard commands overlay is now in a different font as it was a little hard to read on higher resolution screens.

The Ropucha landing ship now has a Ship HP stat replacing the usual sub unit stat. This reflects that it is a large vessel that would take some sinking. An increase to it's defence stat should aid survivability. A pleasing side effect is that this also increases the effectiveness of its rocket battery. The ship also is now classed as artillery rather than transport and so can fire a smoke barrage.

Thanks for reading and for playing. Huge thanks also thanks to those who reached out to say they were having fun, knowing that is what keeps the urge to continue burning.
