About Cold War Battles

Cold War Battles is a quick playing, easy to learn, Turn Based Hex and Counter Wargame. CWB features real and hypothetical conflicts from 1945-1990. Whilst simple to pick up and play there is still plenty of tactical depth, you will need to take terrain and cover into account as you move your troops, use smoke to block line of sight, decide when and where to unload your transports or call in Artillery and face a tough AI opponent as competent at attacking as it is defending.Whilst this release focuses mainly on what would have happened if the Cold War between NATO and the Warsaw Pact had gone 'hot' between 1945 and 1990 it also features scenarios from the fringes of the Cold War. Lead units into battle from the Northern tip of Norway in the early 80's to the Golan Heights in '73, Germany in the 80's to Vietnam in the 60's and more.Command historically accurate formations from Company to Battlegroup size across decades of conflict.Easy to learn, hard to master turn based tactics without complex Logistics or spreadsheets of obscure data to wade through.Classic Hex and Counter Board Wargame feelOver 300 real world units and formations from more than 15 nations and factions so far.5 decades of conflict.                                               Turn based battles across 60+ handcrafted single player scenarios and 4 mini campaigns (So far...) along with a randomised battle generator.500m hex size and Platoon / Troop sized Unit Counters.Plenty of challenging scenarios across a range of Theatres and timelines, including missions set in conflicts and timelines rarely seen in computer wargames such as Angola, Grenada and Norway as well as central Europe and the Middle East.Multiple AI battle plans for each scenario to keep Commanders on their toes.Use Recon units to scout the way, push transports as close as you dare, maybe covered by smoke, unload your infantry to take objectives whilst your armour flanks the foe and artillery bombards targets of opportunity... Or sit and watch as the enemy does the same. With attack, defence and meeting engagement missions, command formations from Company to Battlegroup size across decades of warfare.

--> This game runs in Manjaro Linux (X11) without proton or wine! <-- Well I have to admit, this is money well spent. When the demo was released I was particularly drawn in to the Rafah '67 scenario because of how easy it looked to snatch up a fast win. I was wrong. VERY wrong. I played a single demo scenario when it was removed. Bummer. So once the game was released I HAD to buy it. I was curious to see just how far this developer went to adding many more numerous scenarios and he has given us some tasty stuff. After checking out all the scenarios I decided once again to tackle Rafah '67. Once again the A.I. cleaned my clock BUT this time I decided to pay a little more attention to what was going on. It seems your tanks are the fastest way to get yourself obliterated from the dirt you're standing on and I began to move them BACK away from the cities a bit, letting the troops handle the basics for now. This was game three and I was NOT about to give up so easily. To a point it finally paid off as I gained a near win and a steam achievement beeped to me. Good enough, for now. I still want to kick the A.I.'s butt and I'll be back for more. I'm NOT done with you A.I. - NOT by a long…

Fun, plays easily. In future updates would like to see the ability to put in obstacles. Perhaps vary the combat result to include a 'pin' by arty against infantry. Mortars seem a bit too lethal at times. Would very much like to see some mid - late 70's Sino-Soviet scenarios. If you do a future hypothetical do the PRC vs Russia with the PRC on the offense into the Russian far east. All in all, a good game. Thanks!

It's a very nice little game. Diversity, good, basic combat resolution, tactically rewarding. Simple. If you're foolish and aggressive you'll get burned. If you prep with artillery, use smoke, it can go better for you. I would tinker with some of the values , but that can all be adjusted. I would like to see morale and unit quality at some point. More scenarios from Vietnam. Again, it's fun. I'm still playing it.

This game is crack for grognards. Very pure mechanics. Fulda Gap reduced to it's essence.

Fast paced tactical battles against a competent AI. Just a quick browse of the Hotkeys menu was enough to figure everything out. Very easy to dip in and out of if you don't have hours to dedicate to gaming. Great selection of units and great artwork in the unit browser
