Headquarters: Cold War

A fast‑paced, turn‑based strategy set in 1984 during a hypothetical NATO vs. USSR clash. Commanders lead across two rich campaigns and a range of skirmish missions, building forces, leveling units, and using powerful Headquarters abilities to tilt the balance of modern history.

  • Two narrative campaigns: NATO and USSR, each with 10 missions for a total of 20 story‑driven operations.
  • Six replayable skirmish maps: crafted for tactical variety and enduring challenge.

Deep, tactile combat follows a design philosophy of easy to learn, hard to master. Every decision matters as you manage a diverse toolbox of units and battlefield effects.

  • units feature armor from front, side, back to top. Positioning and threat angles shape outcomes.
  • Dynamic terrain: terrain and obstacles provide directional cover; destroyed vehicles and buildings create new choke points and opportunities; high ground and destructible environments add verticality.

Unit roster and forces include 58 highly detailed models and a wide range of 3D environment assets. Unique classes expand your strategic options, including Utility and Attack helicopters—the first airborne units in the series capable of transporting infantry, delivering pinpoint strikes, and dominating the battlefield with mobility.

  • HQ skills: unleash Resupply, MLRS, Air Strike, and even a Tactical Nuke to reshape battles.
  • Officer skill trees: customize your approach with Close Quarters Battle, Field Interrogation, Camo Net, Modular Armor Panels, Enhanced Radar Systems, and more.

Campaigns and multiplayer offer flexible play options: complete two campaigns, test tactics in enhanced AI Skirmish battles, or challenge friends online with up to four players. Cooperative 2v2 battles are supported, with asynchronous play via CombatHQ.

Campaign pacing and customization allow you to upgrade and customize units between battles, assign heroes, and level up troops. Tailor your force composition to overcome every scenario while managing crews—each unit’s crew matters, and losses reduce firepower or mobility.

Tools to create your own battles include an in‑game Map Editor to design custom skirmish and multiplayer maps, shape terrain, place objectives, and craft unique tactical scenarios to challenge teammates and rivals alike.
