We have a massive update for you all this month!

It includes a large balance and bug fixing patch along with, of course, the complete set of tier 1 doctrines! This long awaited content includes 72 doctrinal unlocks, 6 per doctrine in the game.

You can access the doctrine purchase area within the "war room" and it displays the cost in VPs of each ability along with a brief description. You simply click "purchase" to buy the ability, and once done you will have it for the rest of the war. More detailed documentation of what each of the doctrine abilities do will be released within the near future and will be updated with every future update.

As usual the war has been reset along with the momentum meter.

  • Ostfront Veterans - Availability pool reduced to 6
  • G43 Upgrade
    • Slow split from the G43 upgrade. G43s without slow are now priced at 60 MU
