Hello, fine visitors of Strategy and Wargaming. Thank you so much for the 150.000 views on my The Best Strategy Game Of The Year, Every Year, For 20 Years, it felt great having that many eyes on it! This weekly news digest of Strategy and Wargame news will be a smaller one, just because there aren’t many things going on at the moment!
Broken Arrow Multiplayer Beta
I’m sure 90% of the people reading this are curious about Broken Arrow and would love a chance to play it. Well, now you can! The game’s currently on a multiplayer open beta and everyone can join in the fun and find out if the hype was truly worth it. I couldn’t find an end date for this, but I’m assuming the beta will run for a couple more days, so go and try it out.
Critical Moves – Fun VS Realism In Strategy Games
The Critical Moves Podcast has released its third episode, and this time Joe, Shane and Tim discuss what’s better: fun or realism? A timeless dichotomy.

Slitherine Next Dates
Get ready! On December 10th at 6 PM CET Slitherine is going live with their 2024 Slitherine Next Event!
The event will showcase reveals, trailers, and announcements for their titles, including a look at the future of Starship Troopers: Terran Command, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance, and Broken Arrow.
Alongside this news, we can expect a “major surprise announcement.” I can only speculate about what that is, but I would love a new Combat Mission game!
You can watch it here:
On that same day, Slitherine will release three new DLCs for Terminator: Dark Fate —Defiance, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, and Warhammer 40,000: Gladius.
Wargame Design Studio Updates
The fantastic Wargame Design Studio keeps updating all their titles, and now was the time for Modern Campaigns: Danube Front ’85, Modern Campaigns: Fulda Gap ’85, and Modern Campaigns: Middle East ’67. This title got the new 4.05.1 version, which includes bug fixes, and AI updates.
Hooded Horse Publisher Sale
Hooded Horse is currently running a publisher sale on Steam and you can get some fantastic titles at very appealing prices. Here are my suggestions: Xenonauts 2 and Terra Invicta at 35% off, costing 25 bucks each. However, if you’re hoping to find Manor Lords on sale, that won’t be the case.
Millennia Free Weekend
If, after playing Broken Arrow you still have the willpower to try another game, Paradox’s failed attempt at taking the Civilization crown of the 4X king, Millennia is running a free weekend.
Half-Life 2 Is Free
I know this isn’t a strategy game, but we all enjoy other genres, and first-person shooters just so happen to be one of my favourites, Half-Life 2 is an all-time classic that everyone should play. If you’re one of the few people on Earth who hasn’t played it, for some reason only known between you and God, then there’s no excuse now, because Half-Life 2 is currently free for the grabs, and the original Half-Life is going for less than a dollar.
Support Strategy and Wargaming
I do what I do in Strategy and Wargaming because I love to do this, and I’m never going to stop. If you would like to support me with that, you can buy me a coffee for a dollar if you’re feeling generous. If you can’t, no worries, Strategy and Wargaming will always be free, and I’d love to have you around!
