Hello commanders!
We hope you are well. First things first: we know many of you have been waiting very patiently, and eagerly, for our next upcoming expansion,
WARNO - SOUTHAG. And yes, it has been delayed, and the wait over the summer has been long, but we promise we are very close to giving our
WARNO players the good stuff.
However, as we don’t want to overpromise, we need to hold back on the info for a tiny-teeny bit longer. Details are forthcoming, but our biggest priority now is to get our players something to play with ASAP.
That also includes not one, not two, but
three new maps!
[h2]Three New WARNO Battlefields[/h2][h2]
Isura[/h2]
This 4x2 map is inspired by the topography on the outskirts of Regensburg, West Germany. It combines the charm of Bavaria with its rugged mountainous terrain, while a large, winding river snakes its way through the map. This battlefield offers a host of open combat zones, ideal for mechanized warfare, as well as great for long-range artillery duels.
Isura features a variety of different corridors, filled with several urban zones. These will need intricate infantry-centered tactics to overcome and dominate.
Isura will be available at launch in 1vs1 Duel, 3vs3, and 10vs10.

Taler[/h2]
Taking its cues from the surroundings around Huderdorf’s outskirts, a West German region with a richly varied landscape, the 4x3
Taler battlefield features a mix of open fields, dense woods, and rolling hills. Every division should find a piece of terrain on
Taler in which they will excel.
Much like
Isura, this map is designed from the ground up for large-scale battles up to 10v10, but will also be available in 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4.
[h2]
Schondra[/h2]
Schondra, a 2x3 map, is the follow-up to the
Ohmen map, in which -
if you recall - we introduced a new PvP-focused “Mirror” map approach. This new map is also designed specifically with competitive play in mind, relying on symmetry in its road layout, defensive points, and distribution of buildings.
To avoid an overly artificial look, each side of the map is slightly adjusted. We have modified some of the assets, meaning that the map still looks organic enough but doesn’t introduce any strategic or tactical imbalances.
Schondra will be available in 1v1 Duel and 2v2.
[h2]Updated WARNO Maps[/h2]Next to the arrival of the above three new maps, we also took some time to update our existing maps to be able to accommodate more modes. These changes will be rolled out at the same time the new maps will become available - when
WARNO - SOUTHAG releases.

[h2]WARNO - SOUTHAG Expansion[/h2]
WARNO - SOUTHAG is
WARNO’s second expansion after
WARNO - NORTHAG and showcases the fighting in southern West Germany near the Alps and on the Czechoslovakian frontier.
In the southern reaches of Germany, the Warsaw Pact with the Soviet Central Group of Forces, bolstered by the communist Czechoslovakians, battles against a counter-attacking NATO SOUTHAG command led by France, with American, West German, Canadian, and reinforcing Spanish troops.
- 2 new Army General campaigns, including Holding Attack and Closing the Trap.

These include NATO’s 1st Canadian Division, the Spanish División Mecanizada «Brunete» n.º 1, the French 6e Division Blindée Légère and Division du Rhin, plus the West German 1. Luftlandedivision. The Warsaw Pact features the Czechoslovakian 1. Tanková Divize, 19. Motostřelecká Divize, and 303. Tanková Divize, while the Soviet Central Group of Forces deploys the 31-ya Tankovaya Diviziya and the 17-ya Gvardeyskaya Tankovaya Diviziya.
