It's 2026 and we are back for another update!
Today's update is a more minor one, bringing you a number of bugfixes and smaller balance changes. Towards spring we'll be aiming to bring some further changes to the luftwaffe & commando doctrines, as well as a bigger update of the Soviet Propaganda doctrine.
Hope to see you on the battlefield!
