Status: offline 		Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm is a grand tactical wargame set at the height of the Cold War, with the action centered on the year 1989. As the force Commander, you will plan and then issue orders and Standard Operating Procedures to your battalion, brigade, or regimental forces shaping the fight by maneuver and your intent.

The game engine is based on asynchronous WEGO turns. This means you will issue orders then watch a variable amount of time unfold on the battlefield. Then issue or adjust orders to react to what has happened as you execute your battle plan.

Flashpoint Campaigns-Cold War: Southern Storm is a deep simulation of combat operations where your forces are arranged in maneuver units of companies, platoons, and sections of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, infantry squads and teams, recon forces, engineers, air-defense and anti-tank systems, helicopters and more. As the Commander, you will need to use available off-map assets like long-range artillery, rockets, or airstrikes. You may be faced with the specter of using chemical or nuclear weapons to support your forces on the map and win the day.

Status: offline 		Those screenshots are exciting; love the UI rework, and the overall look of the game.

A few questions. Will the earlier game get a revamp to this standard, or will we be able to play the earlier scenarios via the new game engine? Or will they forever be two separate things? It would be very very good if we could continue to play the scenarios set elsewhere in Germany but with the bells and whistles of Southern Storm.

Status: offline 		To add to what Charles points out above, the new Cold War game engine is basically a ground up rebuild of the Red Storm game engine in every area of the code. This does mean that Red Storm and Germany Reforged scenarios will not run on this game engine. As noted, we plan to have a very healthy DLC stream for the new system and the first offering late in 22 will be Central Storm. This DLC will be focused on revamping many of the Red Storm maps,scenarios, and campaigns,and revising the content to better align with the Central German front. After that we plan to head to Northern Germany and many places beyond that as we grow our content team.

Along above comments on Central Storm and Northern Storm, are plans to see other conflicts (Desert Storm, for example)?

How fast depends on the number of content creators we can add to the team to help with data, art, map locations, scenario design, and campaign design work. We want to get to it all, but it takes time to do these things and also keep improving the game engine.

Status: offline 		@Panta, we have done a basic rebuild of the whole interface to go along with all the new or deepened features. Lots of work by the team and we have a list of more features to add as we work to expand content post-release.
