Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm Tutorial Series Episode 4
Mon, January 29, 2024
Hello Colonels and Polkovniks.
Today we have just uploaded episode four of the Flashpoint Campaigns Tutorial Series.
This episode is all about artillery, likely the most destructive tool you will have in your arsenal. Artillery lets you create opportunities to maneuver with suppressing and destructive fire missions. As a tool in your arsenal it's more important even than armor. By targeting enemy AT units with barrages and laying thick smokescreens, you can completely negate the enemies capability to resist an attack from range. Your batteries embody a significant portion of your combat power, and deserve as much attention as the rest of your maneuver units.
We will be organizing a livestream in the near-future to cover the contents of this episode with developers Cap'n Darwin and SgtZdog from On-Target Simulations. Keep an eye on our twitch calendar for all the latest news and updates.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Tutorial Series Playlist
Wed, 5 June 2024
Hello Cold War wargamers.
The Flashpoint Campaigns tutorial series is now up on the Matrix Games youtube channel in one massive playlist. This includes both the shorter tutorial videos, and the longer companion livestreams we did on twitch.
This series not only gives you excellent advice on how to play the game, but also features some real-life history from the devs on the Cold War and how professionals really fought. Many of our developers are either veterans of the U.S. army or the defense industry, meaning you get a real inside look at the thinking going on at the time about how NATO and Warsaw Pact forces were intending to fight in Central Europe.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm - Update 2.1.4.8218 Out Now
Mon, 17 June 2024
Hello Colonels and Polkovniks.
Update 2.1.4.8218 for Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm is out now. This update includes a new free scenario called “GM Giraud”, featuring French versus Soviet forces on the Epinal map and created by the very talented Joao Lima.
This update also includes the addition of a new PBEM++ Tournament Play system, allowing Flashpoint Campaigns to work with the Matrix tournament system.
Also included are some major changes to the unit log. As the game unfolds, a series of messages are recorded to the unit logs with a time stamp, a “tag” or type of log entry, and then the text of the entry. This log has been massively improved with the following features.
• All messages are now Tagged (instead of just some of them as before)
• Tags are now filterable
• Unit names are highlighted to make them easier to find and hotlink to the Dashboard
• Locations are given a subtle highlight (just bold, no color) and are hot-linked to flash on the map
• The log is searchable – see the top right corner where any text that is typed in will be matched to log messages
• Highlight colors may be specified by tag type so that specific tags can be emphasized or de-emphasized
These changes to the unit log should make managing large formations and figuring out exactly whats going on to your units far more easy. With the ability to pick your own highlight colors you can pay special attention to your favorite formations.
There are numerous other tweaks and fixes included with this update. These and the previous changes listed are fully covered in the changelog PDF, available for download
That's all for now, happy hunting out there everyone!
