This is a conflict in which neither side can afford delay. A long war for Japan means not only overwhelming numbers of Russian reinforcements, including the prestigious Baltic Fleet, but also the threat of financial collapse. The Tsar, meanwhile, has been promised an easy victory over the scorned Japanese, and failure to defeat them quickly risks not only humiliation but perhaps even revolution. A grand battle for the control of East Asia is about to begin. Are you ready to take sides?" We are proud to announce the release of 1904 Imperial Sunrise, a free campaign for all the owners of Strategic Command: American Civil War.

In addition to the usual fixes and improvements, and as a way of celebrating the first anniversary of the game’s launch, this update also includes a brand new campaign, available for free to everyone who owns the game! In this developer diary, we introduce 1904 Imperial Sunrise, covering the Russo-Japanese War. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/39e660b598c71017205494e375ddfd9ecd47eaa2.png Humbly reporting to YOUR IMPERIAL MAJESTY. Around midnight , Japanese torpedo boats undertook a sudden attack on our squadron at Port Arthur base. The battleships Retvizan and Tsarevich and the cruiser Pallada have been ruptured; the degree of damage is being determined. - Telegram from Viceroy Alekseyev to Tsar Nicholas II, on the first day of the war. The story of the Russo-Japanese War began with Japan’s victory over China in 1895. In a war lasting a mere eight months, Japan had destroyed the Chinese Navy, asserted Japanese influence over Korea, conquered Formosa and captured Port Arthur, perhaps the finest harbour in the region. Yet the ink on the resultant Treaty of Shimonoseki had scarcely dried before Russia, with the support of France and Germany, pressured Japan to return Port Arthur to China in exchange for an enlarged war indemnity. The Tsar, whose contempt for the Japanese dated back to an attempted assassination during an 1891 state visit to the country, had his own ambitions in the Far East. Within a few short years, Russia had deployed thousands of soldiers in Manchuria, established and fortified the naval base at Port Arthur, and was making moves to gain influence in Korea, causing alarm in Tokyo. When negotiations with St Petersburg stalled, the Japanese felt the only option left to them was war. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/60166101e6301dee247988b66a91aef9d68bac18.png The Sun Rises The campaign begins on the morning of February 9, 1904, and the Japanese player is immediately faced with decisions that will shape the outcome of the war. In the Yellow Sea, Admiral Togo is stationed with the bulk of the Combined Fleet outside Port Arthur. The previous night, Japanese torpedo boats launched a surprise attack against the Russian Pacific Fleet, damaging several ships but sinking none, and the decision must now be made regarding a second strike: the Russian defences at Port Arthur are not yet fully prepared, and the damage suffered the previous night renders them vulnerable. However, a more cautious approach may be worth considering instead. Port Arthur, located at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, is vulnerable to blockade by both land and sea. A sustained naval presence in the Yellow Sea, supported by naval mines, may be able to trap the Russian Navy in port without the need for an immediate, and costly, battle. Of course, this also risks the Russians attempting to fight their way out… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/078e5afbea67ae5e69c9c9c2c19d010bdae9b3b1.png Japan’s...Strategic Command: American Civil War - v.1.07.00Mar 30, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone, we have a new build for ACW, please see the changelog here: GAME ENGINE - Fixed an issue with HQ attachments and the associated HQ ratings and experiences that could be lost under rare circumstances (Chernobyl). - Fixed a FREE UNIT error that led to unattackable units if they formed on surrendered and occupied territory and assigned to a Major that was not yet fully mobilized and belligerent (klschult). - Fixed a rare pathfinding error that led to an in game freeze (Von Hugo). - Fixed an AI turn sub diving error that did not properly hide player control subs from the AI after a dive (Mithrilotter). - Pathfinding routine optimized with a 3X improvement for some of the worst long distance A to B pathfinding cases. - Defender units that are destroyed before they can retreat will now output a 'Shattered' message to better indicate halved losses for the attacker (Taxman66). - Balloons should now fully move/operate as (non air) land units where previously there was still some outstanding air unit movement considerations in play. CAMPAIGNS 1846 - Improved US Amphibious AI behaviour 1870 - Adjusted FS value of Settlements to 0 (was 2); Towns to 2 (was 5); Cities to 30 (was 25); Major Fortresses to 30 (was 0); Mines to 0 (was 10) (OldCrowBalthazor) - Added DE 215, allowing the French player to choose between four Defenses units or two Brigades to deploy at Metz. 1879 - Initial land unit spawns will now arrive by 1879/07/01 at the latest (was 1879/09/01) 1898 - Yellow Fever will now strike every hex in Cuba (Unfortunate Son) - Fixed an error causing Yellow Fever to be more severe for the US AI - Spanish ship Carlos V now a Cruiser with 2 experience stars (was a Battleship with 1 experience star) All Campaigns - Field Artillery naval attack reduced to 0 (was 1) OTHER - Fixed translation errors (HindenburgDesaster, Pavia) - Updated Strategy GuidesStrategic Command: American Civil War - v.1.06.00Feb 1, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHi everyone, today we are releasing the first patch after the launch of Wars in the Americas. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2259440/Strategic_Command_American_Civil_War__Wars_in_the_Americas/ Here is the changelog: GAME ENGINE - Fixed an issue that allowed some newly deployed Naval units that are not river units, to deploy in a river hex. - Fixed a surprised hidden enemy unit error that allowed some units to move through hidden units. - Fixed a DLC campaign loading issue that would in some cases load incorrect customized text in game (Louie Kaboom).

Thus far however, the series has never included a campaign set in South America (with the exception of the continent playing a minor role in WWII: World at War, of course). The late 19th century was a defining time in South America’s history: mere decades after declaring independence from Spain and Portugal, the continent’s new nations came into frequent conflict as they battled for control of South America’s future. To complete the Wars in the Americas expansion, we have included campaigns exploring two South American conflicts that we found to be particularly interesting: the Paraguayan War, and the War of the Pacific. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/27c2b9e7d4b9e35f4184d0e458e863cb8bf662bd.png South America’s today. In the 1860s, many of these borders were unmarked and heavily disputed. 1866 Paraguay Under Siege Many fortifications have been compared to the mighty walls of Gibraltar: Metz, Sevastopol, Vicksburg and Callao among others, but few have been so deserving of the title as Humaita. Situated just north of the Argentine border, Humaita controlled the sole accessible route into Paraguay. The fortress itself was at the top of some steep cliffs on the left bank of the Paraguay River looking over a horseshoe bend in the river: any approaching vessels would have to contend not only with Humaita’s guns but also the rushing current. On land it was surrounded by swamps, lagoons and mudflats – the trackless, unmapped carrizal – creating a position thought to be impregnable. Indeed it was so strong a position that in 1864 Paraguay’s Marshal-President Francisco Solano Lopez felt confident in abandoning half a century of strict Paraguayan non-intervention to embark on a war with Brazil and Argentina, setting the stage for one of history’s greatest sieges. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/23ea0cf86c9c9e324d1d00dc52a262c5edff907d.png By May 1866, the point at which this campaign begins, the Paraguayan War was eighteen months old. Most of Lopez’ professional army had been destroyed or captured, and whatever unlikely prospect he might have had to convincingly win the war by marching on Buenos Aires had long passed. What remained was a small, badly outgunned force (while the Brazilians had modern rifles, Lopez’ men were equipped mostly with Brown Bess muskets dating back to the previous century), but one whose determination bordered on the fanatic. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/8a3e36c3e177601335db521afe3fa2b8c1f204a1.png Paraguay therefore possesses several advantages despite their desperate position. Most notably, Paraguayan infantry can build fortifications (and do this much more quickly than engineers in other campaigns), and doing so is frequently a matter of survival in face of a greatly superior foe. The geography of the a...Strategic Command: American Civil War - Wars in the Americas - Dev Diary #1Jan 16, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThe second half of the 19th century was a time of great change for the Americas. From Cape Horn to the Sabine River, a new generation of leaders battled for control of the inheritance of Bolivar and San Martin. Driven by the idea of a manifest destiny, the United States spread its borders from sea to shining sea. New weapons: the breech-loader, the torpedo boat and the protected cruiser enabled power to be projected on an unprecedented scale. It was an age that made heroes of men such as Scott, Grau, Caxias and Theodore Roosevelt, and it shaped the fate of the Americas for generations to come. This makes it the perfect setting for the next chapter in the Strategic Command series. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/3caf298a194e4ad75d8b4d688bdffdc32674e8ba.jpg Wars in North America When we decided to make additional content for Strategic Command: American Civil War, two conflicts immediately stood out as must-haves for the expansion pack. One being the Mexican-American War of 1846-48, which has since been represented as a sort of opening act for the story of the Civil War, as many of the war’s most prominent commanders gained their first battlefield experience in Mexico, and the annexation of California reinforced the growing sectional divide between the Northern and Southern states. The other is the Spanish-American War of 1898, a conflict that marks the end of the post-Civil War era and the arrival of the United States as a major player on the international stage. In addition to serving as bookends for the time period covered by the DLC, these two conflicts will require you to adapt to strategic situations very different to those you experienced in the Civil War. Additionally, we will be revisiting the Civil War itself with 1863 The Eagle and the Empire, an alternate history campaign where France enters the war on the side of the Confederacy. 1846 The Conquest of Mexico So far in its history, Strategic Command has focused exclusively on industrial warfare: the American Civil War and both World Wars were all conflicts where industrial output was as important to victory as tactical brilliance. In those conflicts, the warring powers mobilised (and often conscripted) thousands or millions of men to take up arms. Those vast armies relied on sprawling infrastructure networks to bring supplies and reinforcements to the front, with the telegraph and radio providing commanders the ability to quickly redirect their reserves to turn the tide of battle. In turning the clock back to the 1840s, we may not be going to a truly pre-industrial age, but at this point in history the innovations that enabled the successes of Sherman, Pershing and Patton had yet to spread to the plains of northern Mexico. While those commanders could request reinforcements with a quick message, your armies will be on their own. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/7ce0329677b84f4730a2311fc904e8fa7d63be41.png Or at the very least, reinforcements will be scarce. Compared with the Civil War, the armies ...Strategic Command: American Civil War – New DLC available on January 26th, 2023Jan 11, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFor the first time in the series history, Strategic Command will have its first DLC, Wars in the Americas.

Strategic Command: American Civil War - Franco Prussian War free updateDec 6, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, along with the release of today’s patch note, we are glad to announce a free DLC for all the owners of Strategic Command: American Civil War, prepare yourselves for the Franco-Prussian War. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42294232/b1ca34cf0c75cabc9fa0b8575b0aba833818d61a.jpg Ever since the release of the Franco-Prussian War campaign in Strategic Command 2’s WWI Breakthrough! expansion, this conflict has become one of the most heavily requested campaigns for Strategic Command 3. Seeing as American Civil War has been designed specifically to cover 19th-century warfare (and was in part inspired by this older campaign), and as a way of saying ‘thank you’ to our loyal fans, we thought that now was the most fitting time to revisit this war. This is a remastered version of the original Franco-Prussian War campaign released in 2013, incorporating all of the improvements to the game engine over the last ten years while remaining faithful to the original design. Many of these improvements will be obvious: a hex-based map, improved graphics, dynamic movement and a more capable AI opponent!
