October 14 update — real-terrain maps, clearer duel rules, new plans

2026-10-14 · Kriegsspiel by Honey Badger

Decide on the real ground

All 30 battle maps are redrawn from real elevation data: hillshade and contours, with units and place names at their real positions.
The button at the top right of a map switches to 2016 satellite imagery. Relief is the default because modern imagery shows towns and dams built after the battles.
Decisions about a place can be made on the map: tap candidate point A, B or C.
Maps now carry a scale bar, north arrow and grid.

No randomness: the same two decisions in the same situation always give the same result.
Phases carry over: holding the initiative or wearing the other side down moves the next phase's score by a point.
The mission decides first; remaining combat power only settles a contested mission.
Every phase shows why it came out as it did. Details are in Duel rules.
Duel scenarios are now alternative versions of real battles (Dabudong, Hyeon-ri, Chuncheon–Hongcheon, Krynky, Bilohorivka, Fallujah); the result screen compares your game with what really happened.
Ranked play adds evening windows for the UK and US, shown in your local time.

Every battle now has an in-depth part 2: terrain in detail, an hour-by-hour course, each decision point, doctrine and source criticism.
Position errors found while drawing the maps (hill directions, distances) were corrected in 17 battle columns.

Free, Battle Pack (one war, one-time), Individual Plus (monthly) and Group Beta (instructors, monthly). Prices are proposals we are testing before launch.
Instructor Mode can be tried free once every 30 days with up to 6 trainees.
Everything stays open during the beta.
Terms and Privacy Policy updated for the new plans and features (effective 14 October).
