To mark this collaboration between ourselves and World of Warships, we'll be having a stream together tomorrow Friday 18th December at 1400 CET!

We'll be playing both World of Warships and Hearts of Iron back-to-back, so it will be a great opportunity to see both games in action alongside one another.

World War Wednesday continues!

We'll continue Putting The Band Back Together in tomorrow's stream, live 1330-1500 CET!

With Monarchs safely back on the thrones of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, war against the western powers is imminent.

Our hosts' first target will be Italy, with German medium tanks and Austro-Hungarian fighters ready to be unleashed.



Make sure you set a reminder for the stream and tune in at 1330 CET tomorrow!

Hello everyone!

Patch 1.10.3 of the "Collie" update is now live and should be downloading through Steam and Microsoft Store as we speak. The new checksum is aa89.

This update aims to address a compatibility issue with the recent release of macOS 11.0 "Big Sur".

Saves made with 1.10.0, 1.10.1 and 1.10.2 are expected to be fully compatible with 1.10.3 and you can continue your previous game without risk.

Should you still have an older saved game (from 1.9 "Husky" or 1.8 "Fork"), it will not be compatible with 1.10.3, even if the game does not report it as such. This is sadly an issue we could not fix in this patch without painful side effects (see the known issues page).

As always, if you have an older save you can finish it by rolling back to an older patch.

If you discover any bugs in patch 1.10.3, please report them in the bug report forum as usual.

- Fixed compatibility issue with macOS 11.0 (Big Sur)

One of the great disappointments of strategy gaming's last decade was the cancelation of East vs. West, Paradox Interactive's highly-anticipated attempt at a Cold War grand strategy title. Between the subterfuge, coups, and proxy wars, it seemed like the perfect era for a truly grand strategic experience.

Some of the team members who worked on that project would go on to create Terminal Conflict, but as far as Hearts of Iron was concerned it remained lodged in the Second World War. Luckily, as in so many things, mods may offer a solution.

Last week, in our overview of the current state of Paradox Interactive's World War II title Hearts of Iron 4 we tossed heaps of praise on that game's mod community - one of the most innovative and cutting-edge scenes in the wargame and strategy space. One of the most intriguing projects on the workshop right now is Cold War Iron Curtain: A World Divided - an incredibly ambitious attempt to transform Hearts of Iron 4 into the East vs West we have been waiting for.
