Hello commander !
With Milestone NEY now released, let's have a look at what we are currently working on for the next patchs & milestone.
The program includes: new map, model corrections, Germans, ...

Welcome to Geisa, your new playground!
Geisa will be the 6th map to be deliver to the community as part of the Warno early access. It's a beautiful baby, a very big baby! 108 km² of playground for this map which will be the largest available in the game at the time of its release.
Geisa features several specificities:
- The map is deep! 12km wide and 9km deep. As a comparison, Loop (featured in Milesetone NEY) is 6km deep. We wanted to bring such depth to give players a different experience, especially when it comes to using artillery & helicopters.
- Geisa is made up of a fairly flat surface, but with three large elevated areas at its centre. The map has been designed in such a way as to offer different terrains: open country, wooden area & mountains.
- Also, the map's topology offers many tactical possibilities which you will have to find out and take advantage of to obtain victory. Will you choose to adopt a frontal approach by sending your troops to the centre of the map? Will you try to bypass the front line by taking the pass to the east? Or do you want to control the heights of the map?
- From a visual point of view, you'll be walking through Geisa on a late summer's day.
However, don't spend too much time contemplating the settin sun reflecting on the lakes of Geisa: your troops will be waiting for your orders!
Model corrections
Although we've got a "strict" planification for modelization, with upcoming new units for the next milestones having priority, we are keeping tab of your feedbacks about issues regarding currently released models. And our modeling team is doing its best to squeeze some corrections within its tight schedule.
Here are a few of the errors we have noted and have or will adress as soon as possible:
- M60A3 Patton missing the TTS optics & having too big a gun.
- M151A2 FAV's wrong MG model
- Abrams family's turret.
- BRDM-2 Strela-1's wrong chassis
- BMP-3's tiny size
- various planes' pylons position
- and more ...
Zee Germans
Our next major Milestone DAVOUT will, as announced, feature the first German divisions, one for both sides.
As such, we are presently busy up to our neck with German models: Leopard, Marder, T-55, ... and more. But we won't spoil it and deprive you of the pleasure of waiting one full week to learn more about it ... ;)
In the meantime, here's a preview:
Major work
There are issues we are aware of, and are working to fix them over the board once and for all:*
- MG stats
- bringing all main gun's ammo to a 1989 standard, many still having an AP corresponding to the tank's acceptance into service, as was the case in WRD.
- ...
See you on the battlefield!
