Cold War in Europe - Modern Campaigns 4.04 Updates

Hi All,

We are continuing the update of the Modern Campaigns series to version 4.04.

Following on from the recent Middle East ‘67 upgrade we are releasing a further three Modern Campaigns titles with the new 4.04 version. This is the same version as the recently released title, Panzer Campaigns: Spring Awakening ’45 and our recent games of the week, Panzer Campaigns: Sealion ‘40 and Modern Campaigns: Middle East ‘67.

 The three titles updated today are Modern Campaigns: Danube Front’ 85, Modern Campaigns: Fulda Gap ’85, and Modern Campaigns: North German Plain ’85.

Please note, these are full installation builds. The reason for this is to align to the upgrades we released back in March here. There is no patch from the prior version available. If you already have a copy of any of these titles, the latest game build should be available now in your store account on the WDS website. You will have to uninstall any existing versions and then install the latest to be up to date.

 With the move to version 4.04, here are the following changes beyond version 4.03:
