Soviet war in Afghanistan
Russian software developer Snowball made a surprise announcement that they were developing a game under license using the CMx2 game engine, with certain refinements and additions, in order to portray tactical combat during the Soviet war in Afghanistan during 1979-1989. Battlefront confirmed the news on their official website and posted screenshots of some of the work in progress, confirming that playable units would include Lee–Enfield-armed mujahadeen, BMP personnel carriers, and other authentic military equipment emblematic of the era.
