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 ground, and the shape of the war immediately clear.

The Strategic Overview has been designed specifically for the 1812 map, with a clean presentation that keeps the battlefield itself at the centre of your planning. Switch freely between Map, Cities, and Control whenever you need to turn a mass of local decisions into one campaign plan.

Good luck, Commanders.
