Developer posts and news about this game.
What is new with CWB? Fixes: Since the last Dev Update various QOL fixes have been made, I won't repeat them all here as the previous patch notes cover them. There are still things you guys have mentioned that I have not gotten around to yet, fear not they are still on my mind. N
Fixed an issue where the VP's awarded did not match those displayed in the results screen for the 'Holding On (US)' scenario. Changed the font for the sidebar. At 4k resolution some folk were finding it hard to read. Biggest issue is how Gamemaker renders text as images which mea
Added a 'MODIFIERS' button next to the HOTKEYS button in game. It shows the various things that affect combat resolution at a glance. As ever, the detail is in the PDF manual but hopefully having this info to hand will help.
What is next for CWB? As many of you already know the first DLC for Cold War Battles is set to cover various conflicts in the Middle East during the Cold War period. As CWB has been well received and everyone has been incredibly supportive I decided that this scenario pack will b
Changes: Added AML-90 Recon Troop to Tegel scenario as it was a bit rough on the French. French mechanised infantry Hard Attack value increased to 14. Fixes: Computer recon units would occasionally enter impassable hexes - fixed Various small briefing typo's
A small update with just a few things to note. Real life has interfered with work on CWB for a few days but a few small changes have snuck in nonetheless... Artillery VP increased a little across the board. This will better reward counter battery fire against enemy artillery alth
Fixed a campaign menu bug. Increased the space between the End Turn button and the other buttons to lower the chances of a mis-click. Also changed it's text colour. Removed smoke effect from small arms, MG projectiles.
Dev Update. New scenarios: Two new scenarios have been added with this update, both variations of the end of the UK campaign. Wolfsburg in the Pact tab allows you to to play the scenario from the Soviet point of view with a slightly reduced force albeit of higher quality. Holding
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 offensiv
A small update to add a button to the GUI which will display a list of the various hotkeys used in CWB. Hopefully helpful to those who need a quick reminder of commands in the heat of battle. A few sneaky typo's and grammatical errors fixed up too.
Thank you all! What a ride the last 48 hours has been. CWB has reached my own expectations for the first 48 hours and the back end info I have from Steam suggests folk are having fun (I don't collect any of your data but I can see in general how long people play etc) Obviously I
A couple of small changes / fixes. Mouse wheel will zoom the camera in and out, old keys still work too. Pg Up, Pg Dn now scroll through the event log. Hex cover value text (The yellow number you see when hovering over a hex is now clearer) A rare but irritating bug which I still
A small update with a few QOL tweaks suggested by players, typo fixes and an issue with victory calculations occasionally being very wrong has been fixed. I really appreciate the time you guys took to point these out, it helps a lot. Whilst I was updating the game I thought it wo
Cold War Battles is out now! First a huge thank you to everybody who played the demo and provided valuable feedback and encouragement. CWB is better for it. I won't bore you with too long a wall of text as I know some of you are keen to get to the action. A lot has changed since
It has been a couple of weeks since I announced the August 27th release date with the last update, pleased to say that despite real life trying its best to get in the way that we are still very much on track. Have not spent anywhere near as much time as I wanted on CWB the last c
Dev update: Let's jump straight in with the big news. Cold War Battles will release on August 27th at around 17:00 UK time. Makes it all feel a little real now, it is hard to describe the mix of excitement and apprehension. As explained elsewhere the current demo will deactivate
Well things have settled down a little with Next Fest over and the constant updates to the demo out of the way. More than 1200 people who downloaded the demo are yet to actually try it, be quick as changes are rapidly making the demo obsolete and it will likely be pulled around t
Post Next Fest update. Firstly I have to thank everyone who downloaded and played the demo, especially those who left valuable feedback. Even though I could go with every suggestion made I did give thought to them all, some of the suggestions like map zoom and a combat log did ma
Just a quick addendum to the previous update which can be read below. As there has been some key improvements to AI behaviour on the main branch I decided to update the demo to reflect them and give the folk who try this during NextFest as good an experience as possible. So as we
It has been a busy few weeks since the last update!! Demo: First off was getting the demo out ahead of NextFest. Despite the issues around maintaining two code bases I did end up updating the demo more than planned to add things like a combat log, HQ changes and improved hill til
