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.

The new update features dozens of new military vehicles, overhauled maps and more!

Gaijin Entertainment is pleased to announce the new major update “Spearhead” for the online military action game War Thunder is now available to players! It includes visual remakes of the maps “Stalingrad” and “Carpathians”, along with dozens of new ground, air, and naval vehicles. Some standout examples include the Italian MB-326K attack aircraft, the Israeli M113 HVMS IFV, the American F-15C Golden Eagle fighter jet and the Venezuelan Su-30MK2 AMV fighter jet.

Watch the “Spearhead” Release Trailer HERE.

The MB-326K is a strike modification of the Italian MB-326, a fully armed and agile trainer aircraft! Pilots can equip a wide range of weaponry, from various free-fall bombs of calibers between 250 and 500 lb, napalm bombs and several unguided rockets. The aircraft also features powerful internal 30 mm DEFA guns, and can bolster this firepower further with 7.62 mm miniguns and an additional pair of 30 mm cannon pods.

The Venezuelan Su-30MK2 AMV is a modern heavy fighter with 12 weapon hardpoints. It is able to equip a total payload of over 8000 kg, all while maintaining high maneuverability and reaching speeds exceeding mach 2 with a full combat load. It can equip a large range of weaponry, from the familiar air-to-air missiles, TV-guided bombs and Kh-29L and Kh-29TD air-to-surface missiles. This special Su-30 modification can also equip the Kh-59M – a giant missile new to War Thunder, designed to engage ground and naval targets.

The legendary Stalingrad map, which debuted in the game 10 years ago, has been completely visually overhauled as well. This upgrade has not functionally changed the map, focusing instead on graphical improvements – this way this much loved map will stay familiar to players, while also being much more visually appealing. Another original map, Carpathians, has been upgraded in a similar way too. All objects and foliage have been remodeled from scratch, giving it a much more realistic and fresh appearance.

The full list of changes in the “Spearhead” update is available on the official War Thunder website.
