About Regiments
Regiments drops players into a 1989 Cold War flashpoint, where the German border becomes a massive battlefield for NATO and Warsaw Pact forces. As a commanding officer you direct regiments, call in artillery and air support, and shape the flow of combat without micromanaging every soldier.
The game blends a plot‑focused campaign with multiple operations, skirmish modes, and a deep vehicle roster. Players can customize forces on the fly, expand with task forces, and experience detailed mechanized warfare while the learning curve remains accessible for newcomers.
01 / THE GUIDE
Plot‑Focused Campaign
The campaign tells a complex story of warfare around the Inner German border from several perspectives, spanning several operations that each cover multiple days of fighting. This narrative framework gives context to each tactical engagement and ties together the broader Cold War conflict.
Players progress through a series of operations, each presenting new strategic decisions and resource management between battles, reinforcing the sense of an evolving war rather than isolated encounters.
- Observe how each operation’s storyline influences the objectives you receive.
- Use the inter‑battle lulls to manage your limited resources between battles.
02 / THE GUIDE
Operations and Tactical Decisions
Nine diverse operations make up the campaign, each encompassing up to several days of fighting. Within an operation you manage limited resources, make operational decisions, and lead your regiment to victory.
The structure encourages planning between engagements, as you must allocate supplies and choose when to call in off‑map support, shaping the flow of each multi‑day conflict.
- Balance resource use between immediate combat needs and future operational goals.
- Consider the timing of task‑force calls to maximize their impact.
03 / THE GUIDE
Four Skirmish Modes
Beyond the campaign, Regiments offers four distinct skirmish modes, each with dynamic objectives that differ from the story‑driven missions. These modes let you test tactics in isolated scenarios.
Dynamic objectives keep each skirmish fresh, encouraging players to adapt strategies rather than rely on a single playstyle.
- Experiment with different unit compositions in each mode to discover strengths.
- Pay attention to the specific objectives, as they can change the optimal approach.
04 / THE GUIDE
Authentic Vehicle Roster
The game features over 100 authentic vehicles, from Leopard 2 tanks to T‑72M and M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles. These are combined into many formations, allowing diverse tactical options.
Each vehicle’s historical role informs its performance, giving players a realistic feel for Cold War mechanized combat while still supporting creative force building.
- Mix heavy armor with mobile infantry carriers to balance firepower and flexibility.
- Reference the vehicle’s real‑world role when deciding its placement on the battlefield.
05 / THE GUIDE
On‑the‑Fly Force Customization
Regiments lets you form your force on the fly, starting with a main regiment and expanding by calling in unique task forces that bring equipment and off‑map support. This system rewards adaptability and creativity.
The Platoon Command system streamlines command, allowing precise orchestration without micromanaging every infantryman, making large‑scale battles manageable for both veterans and novices.
- Use task forces to fill gaps in your current lineup rather than duplicating units.
- Leverage the Platoon Command system to issue coordinated orders quickly.
