View game pageAs a surprise launch for the Home of Wargamers, we are happy to announce that British Army of the Rhine, a new DLC for Combat Mission Cold War, is out now. The DLC brings new nations, units, and campaigns to the battlefields of late 1970s and early 1980s Europe.
Players can now command iconic NATO and Warsaw Pact forces in one of the most detailed tactical wargaming experiences available:
British Army of the Rhine (BAOR): Deploy FV432 armored vehicles, Swingfires, Strikers, Scorpions, Scimitars, and the legendary Chieftain tank.
Canadian 4th Mechanized Brigade Group (4 CMBG): Lead a unique NATO mix of Centurions, Leopard C1 tanks, Lynx 25mm, and the last flamethrowers used by NATO forces in Europe.
Soviet VDV/Airborne Forces: Elite paratroopers supported by BMD infantry fighting vehicles, delivering new tactical threats and opportunities.
The DLC is packed with:
Three full campaigns (UK, Canadian, Soviet Airborne “Lost Company”)
Dozens of standalone scenarios offering diverse Cold War tactical challenges
A new region – Train and fight at the British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) in Canada, complete with unique terrain for custom and “Blue on Blue” battles
Whether you favor armored thrusts, infantry maneuvers, or combined-arms tactics, Combat Mission: British Army of the Rhine delivers an authentic Cold War-gone-hot experience.

NEW TOURNAMENT
To celebrate Home of Wargamers, we have also opened a new tournament for Combat Mission Cold War. You can sign up here.

Round 1 - Control That Blasted Dam!
Hold (or take) the Dam at all costs. The warehouse and town are also key terrain, but they are to aid in defending the dam and should be used in that purpose.

The duty US infantry platoon due to take over the Spandau Prison guard task from the Soviets was refused entry.
Round 3 - Kl Flothe Ex1 UK NATO v UK WARPAC
This exercise pitches A Squadron 16th/5th The Queen’s Royal Lancers (16/5L) as NATO forces in the North against B Squadron as Warsaw Pact forces in the South.
