Headquarters: Cold War plunges you into an alternate-history 1984, where the tension between NATO and the USSR escalates into full-scale conflict. This turn-based strategy game challenges you to command battalions of tanks, helicopters, and infantry across dynamic battlefields, balancing tactical foresight with the unpredictability of modern warfare.

Experience two fully developed campaigns that let you see the conflict from both NATO and Soviet perspectives. Each campaign features unique objectives, varied environments, and skill-based challenges that reward clever strategy and careful planning. Beyond the campaigns, six skirmish maps provide endless replayability, allowing you to test new tactics or face off against friends in multiplayer battles supporting up to four players.

The game emphasizes realism and depth with over 50 distinct units, each with detailed stats, destructible environments, and terrain advantages. Helicopters, artillery, and armored vehicles interact with the battlefield in meaningful ways, while unit crews must be managed carefully to maintain effectiveness. Headquarters skills and officer abilities such as Enhanced Radar, MLRS strikes, and camouflage deployment, add a strategic layer, letting you tailor your approach to each scenario.

For players who enjoy creating and sharing content, the in-game map editor allows you to design custom battlefields, giving your strategies a unique stage. With a combination of deep tactical mechanics, immersive environments, and multiple ways to play, Headquarters: Cold War offers both new players and seasoned strategy fans a compelling test of military skill and decision-making under pressure.
