Wargame's playable factions are the Warsaw Pact, which is subdivided into the Soviet Union, Communist Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia; and NATO, which is subdivided into the United States of America, United Kingdom, France, and West Germany. Players can choose various units from the four subfactions of the side they are playing on, unlocking new units or improved variants as they progress. In all, there are 361 historical units recreated in Wargame.
Each country has its own arsenal of units, reflecting their military doctrine.

Story Trailer:
- new deck system, introducing more slots for mixed decks, taking elements of both RD's and ALB's decks systems
- new nations and coalitions: For BLUEFOR, planned factions are the US, Eurocorps (Germany+UK) and UKRPOLBAT (Ukraine+Poland) and for REDFOR Russia and CIS (Belarus, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan)
- smoke grenades on AFVs, used by pressing B and placing smoke near the vehicle
- air-liftable vehicles, many light vehicles can be spawned in heavy helos, even transports can be air-lifted, but not spawned in helos
- ripple-firing for advaned ATGMs and SAMs
- numbers of cards available per deck mostly increased (Basic MBTs for example, like the baseline M1A2 or the T-90, now get 5 cards)
- some helos and planes get more than 3 weapons, guns as hidden stats
- new unit cards for all units
- reskins made by me or other modders (for example poks infantry skins and aircrafts skins by FregFlogger, Vasto and Darkmil)
LOG:
- FOB supply increased in order to make all the new, supply-hungry equipment usable
INF:
- All shock infantry set to 10 men, all specialzed teams set to 5 men
- New unit type 'Internal Troops' for former Eastern Block/Soviet Nations, anti-infantry shock units
- New unit type 'Mortar Teams', infantry units with light mortars
- Individual stats for every infantry weapon
REC:
- 'Scout Vehicles' like the BRDM-2 or the M3 Bradley, that have optics and are available as transports to recon units
- Naval utility helicopters as recon helos for marine decks
- All special forces moved to the recon tab
SUP:
- Guided arty shells for high-end howitzers and mortars, that allow taking down single targets with highly accurate shots, but have long aiming times and high supply costs. You can activate them by turning off the main weapon of the unit
- Ballistic missiles for all countries that have them
- Heavy SAMs for all countries that have them
TNK:
- APS simulated by ECM
- New unit type 'Urban Warfare Tank' (for example M1A2 TUSK) with good optics, improved side and rear armor and high-HE canister shells with lower range
VHC:
- IFVs available to ATGM/MANPADS/Flame infantry
HEL:
- ECM for helos
- All dedicated gunships/ATGM helicopters moved to helo tab, radar-equiped helos still have xal optics
- increased optics for advanced gunships and utility helicopters
AIR:
- Some Cluster Bombs turned into HE weapons, as only few nations still operate them
- Stealth aircraft and multiroles more common
- UAVs that can spot ground targets
Ideas for future development:
- Land-, air- and seaborne cruise missiles and cruise missile defences
- Naval overhaul
- Option for NATO localization (NATO Codenames for Russian equipment)
- Jammers on SEAD aircraft
- Modified campaigns
- Sandbox Plugin
- Map Reskins
- Any other ideas are welcome!
