Dev Diary: The Dutch Challenge

socials
Published on September 08, 2026

The biggest Flashpoint Campaigns title expands even further!

The Lowland Lions DLC extends the Third World War area of operations into northern Germany, whose defensive responsibility falls to I Corps of the Royal Netherlands Army. A new 3-scenario Dutch campaign loosely aligns with the historic doctrine in the event of combat erupting in this sector, and there are additional Dutch force standalone scenarios to test your mettle.

Beyond the Dutch AO are two new campaigns, one for the Belgian forces and another West German ‘Wolves’ campaign loosely inspired by a classic Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm campaign. Finally, we have 8 standalone scenarios featuring US forces also carrying on the Red Storm spirit.

Tune in to the Home of Wargamers livestream event on September 30th, 2026 for an exclusive feature showcase with On Target Simulations — you won't want to miss it!

Until then, let’s take a deeper dive into the new frontlines…

 

The new Area of Responsibility

As the geography shifts northward, the mountain passes start to break into forests, rivers, and plains. The change of terrain means your command style will also need to adapt across the 6 new maps spanning the Dutch sector.

  1. Suhlendorf

  2. Uelzen

  3. Amelinghausen

  4. Soltau

  5. Buchholz in der Nordheide

  6. Schwarmstedt

  7. Cloppenburg

Battle for the Elbe-Seitenkanal Bridges

One of the most intense Dutch standalone scenarios takes place in the Uelzen area of operations, as you take command of a critical defensive line during the second day of the war. Your objective is to hold critical crossing points along the Elbe-Seitenkanal. Attached below is the topographic briefing map to study and consider your defensive course of action for this critical operation.
