Wargame Design Studio is celebrating a milestone - it's now four years since we took over the JTS catalog, and what a ride it's been: a dozen new games, multiple demos, and major updates across almost the entire range. In our latest blog post, we look back at those busy years and also look ahead with a first preview of the next Sword & Siege title, Crusades: Book II - the second volume in our planned Crusades trilogy.

Can you take over CMx2 and give it the same treatment? :)

In our latest blog post, we dive into the "What If?" of history – from classic alternate-history novels and TV series to video games that let you walk the roads not taken yourself. This is Part I of a two-part series, tracing how storytellers have played with divergent timelines and why that same spirit underpins so much of modern wargaming.

In our latest blog post, we return to the world of "What If? – The Long Tradition of Alternate History in Wargaming and Beyond" – this time on the screen rather than the page. Part II of our alternate history series explores how Wargame Design Studio brings plausible roads-not-taken to life in titles like Panzer Campaigns: Sealion '40, Japan '45/'46, and Moscow '42 – Fall Kreml. From the beaches of southern England to the planned invasion of Japan and a renewed drive on Moscow, we show how careful research powers compelling campaign sandboxes. It's a tour of battles that never happened – but could have.

In our latest blog post, we push the "What If?" lens into the last, tense years of the Cold War — and draw comparisons with past and current crises. Part III of our alternate history series imagines June 1985 as the moment deterrence fails: Warsaw Pact forces crash into West Germany through the Fulda Gap and across the North German Plain, while a parallel crisis erupts on the Korean peninsula. From doctrine and terrain to logistics and the shadow of escalation, we explore the opening weeks through Modern Campaigns: Fulda Gap, North German Plain, Danube Front and Korea '85.
