United States of Annihilation is officially out now for $6.99 on Steam. The United States of Annihilation DLC for ICBM: Escalation drills into the core tenets that define the ICBM experience: the cold logic of nuclear supremacy, the reckless disregard for consequence, and the sheer, unrelenting spectacle of global destruction.

Set in an alternate history where the United States emerged from World War II with more than victory, this expansion’s campaign imagines a nation unchecked by opposition. There’s no Korean War. No arms race. No balance of power. Instead, the United States has poured limitless resources into its nuclear program, creating a war machine unmatched by no rival.

Armed with a monopoly on nuclear weapons and driven by an insatiable thirst for control, America rises as a self-proclaimed guardian of freedom whose democracy serves as a cover for ruthless domination.

Drawing on decades of research and wargame design, Matrix Games and On Target Simulations are proud to announce Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War, the largest and most ambitious entry in the Flashpoint Campaigns franchise. Set in an alternate 1989 where tensions finally boil over and NATO and the Warsaw Pact clash across Central Europe. The Cold War you read about in history books becomes a full-scale shooting war.

Ninety divisions ready for action, more than three million soldiers, and over 20,000 tanks stood on a war footing for more than forty years of the Cold War, along the frontier between NATO and the Soviet bloc. What would have happened if, in 1989, the armies of the Warsaw Pact had invaded Western Europe and triggered a Third World War? It’s a chilling thought—yet, now that we know it never came to pass, it has always fascinated history enthusiasts and wargamers alike.

Anyone interested in this hypothetical Cold War-turned-hot scenario now has the best simulator ever created to explore it, Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War. Players can fight entire campaigns for the conquest—or defense—of West Germany from both sides, plus over 100 detailed scenarios. This is about double the content of Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm and includes many updated and improved scenarios and campaigns from that release, along with all the new ones.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War Release Trailer

Bigger, Bolder, and Better Than Ever.
Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War is not just a new entry; it’s a true next-generation evolution of Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm. Rebuilt, expanded, and visually enhanced, it offers smoother UI, streamlined tools, better AI, and a more intuitive gameplay experience for new players without sacrificing the deep simulation and realism the series is known for.

This is the largest Flashpoint Campaigns release ever. Players can fight across the entire front of West Germany, with more than 100 hand-crafted scenarios, operational campaigns, and extensive sandbox options. From armored thrusts through the North German Plain to desperate holding actions in the wooded highlands. Every kilometer of the Iron Curtain becomes a battlefield.

The Best Combat System for Modern Warfare.
Flashpoint Campaigns continues to feature the acclaimed asynchronous simultaneous-turn engine, where both sides plan orders, then watch the chaos unfold at the same time, each within their own dynamic order cycle that can change as your Command and Communications become degraded. It remains the most natural and realistic system for modern warfare, where speed, reconnaissance, command delays, and battlefield chaos matter more than strict turn order.

New Tactical Transport System.
This title introduces a powerful new tool: the Tactical Transport System. Helicopters and air-mobile assets can reposition airborne forces deep behind enemy lines — setting ambushes, cutting supply routes, seizing objectives, or triggering full-scale breakthroughs. Air assault operations now play a decisive role in shaping the front.

A surprise for Flashpoint Campaigns Fans.
To celebrate, Flashpoint Campaigns fans who own Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm can take advantage of a special bundle discount, allowing existing commanders to purchase Cold War for up to 50% off. Expanding your arsenal has never been easier.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War is out now on Steam.
