Our latest Wargame Update introduced more control for players over combat simulations. We've been watching the community set custom parameters, adjust Procedural Architecture sliders, and dive into FUBAR modes with varying levels of mission success. Today, we want to crank things up a notch with a community contest!
Announcing the Wargame Highlights Discord Contest—a community competition in which our development team issues missions to the community under specific Wargame Mode parameters. Community members will submit their best highlights tackling these tasks and vote on their favorite clips throughout the competition. The three clips with the most community votes will win Steam gift cards!
[h2]How to Participate[/h2]
Join our Discord community and navigate to the "Wargame Highlights Contest" category. Submit your clip in the "submissions" channel and vote on other community entries for a chance to win! Submissions will automatically have an emoji attached to each message, and reacting to this emoji submits a vote.

[h2]Prizes[/h2]
We'll have three winners, reserved for the three pieces of community content with the highest number of community votes. If you're submitting as a fireteam, gift cards will be split between participating fireteam members:
- 1st Place: $200 Steam Gift Card
- 2nd Place: $120 Steam Gift Card
- 3rd Place: $80 Steam Gift Card
- All winners will also receive a unique Discord role!
[h2]Timing[/h2]
The contest opens today, October 9th, and runs until Friday, October 20th! Each community mission will be announced alongside specific Wargame settings required to enter the mission. Each mission will be open for three full days before the next mission is announced. Of course, submissions to previous missions are permitted once the next one comes online. It is not mandatory to complete the task to be eligible. Winners will be chosen on Friday, October 27th!

[h2]Rules[/h2]
Submissions that do not adhere to the following rules will be considered ineligible:
- Clips must not contain offensive, suggestive, or inappropriate content.
- Clips must be shared in the "submissions" channel on Discord.
- Keep discussions around the contest in Discord's "contest-chat" channel.
- There are no restrictions on content—feel free to share funny moments, well-executed gameplay, or anything in between!
- If you are participating with other players in your fireteam, please tag them in your submission or they won’t be considered eligible with you!
- Participants can share more than one clip, as long as slow-mode in the "submissions" channel is respected. If you're posting as a fireteam and someone from your group has already submitted, please respect the slow-mode cooldown before posting again. If this criteria is not respected, the submission will be ineligible.
- Self-voting on submissions is prohibited to prevent full fireteams from having a "numbers" advantage over solo participants.
Good luck to everyone participating, and we'll see you on Discord!
