• Game Update 4.2.2: Movement Fix - 30 August 2026

• Hotfix 4.2.1: Battle Dice Fix - 26 August 2026

• Major Update 4.2.0 - 24 August 2026

  Commanders, Update 4.2.0 is here, bringing a new way to step back from the front line and understand the whole campaign: the Strategic Overview. Open it at any point during play to see the complete 1812 battlefield in one clean, full-screen view. No more hunting around the board to find a distant army or work out who holds a key part of the map—the bigger picture is now always one click away. Map Find every army across the campaign and compare the forces gathering on each front. Clear markers make it easy to spot where the next attack may come from and where your own line is weakest. Cities Locate every key city instantly and see which side currently controls it. It is a fast way to identify objectives, exposed positions, and the places most likely to decide the campaign. Control Read territorial control across every colony area at a glance. The full-map view makes advances, contested g…

• Game Update v4.1.2 - 19 August 2026

  A small update is now available.Fixed a rare battle softlock where overlapping physical dice could assign the Militia flee result to a British die.

• Game Update v4.1.1 - 18 August 2026

  Two small fixes in this update: Corrected the 1812 scenario setup. Fort Erie now starts with the intended 2 British, 2 Canadian, and 1 Native American unit, while Fort George has its correct starting forces. Fixed the Truce victory condition. The British side must now play the British, Canadian, and Native American Truce cards before the game can end.

• Game Update v4.1 - 13 August 2026

  We've just fixed a couple of bugs that made there way into the previous update: Fixed the green and red region highlights used when placing and moving troops. Fixed the missing numbers on the fled-unit counters.

• Game Update 4.0 - 7 August 2026

  Engine and compatibility Updated the game to a much newer version of the Unity engine. Computer opponent The computer opponent has been improved across the board, and Easy, Normal, and Hard now each offer a clearly different challenge. The computer now places enlistments and returning fled units where they count: defending an objective it is scoring, contesting one of yours, or holding a muster area. The computer no longer misjudges the odds when retaking its own territory. It assumed the defender always rolls first, when the first roll belongs to the side whose homeland the battle is fought in. Fixed the computer misplaying its cards: moving more armies than a card allowed, over-planning War Hawks and wasting the surplus, and spending Fife and Drum without using the extra movement it grants. Hard now judges whether an attack is worth making by weighing the two forces directly, rather t…

Fixed an issue with the "General Brock" card so that it now works correctly (Canadian Militia ignore flee). Fixed the "Publication Ban" card so that it now lets you place additional fled units in Rome after the card has been played. Fixed an issue with cities/forts name toggle. Fixed an issue which could cause the incorrect units to be placed during the Enlistments phase. Fixed the Enlistments for American Regulars so 3 are now placed in Albany instead of 2. Fixed the "Ambush" card so that it now correctly lets the British have the first turn in battle after assigning the 2 hits to the American side. We hope you're enjoying the game! :) ~ The HexWar Games Team
