The Cold War turns hot.

In Headquarters: Cold War - Operation Pacify you take command of Soviet forces in a high stakes operation near Hamburg, where intelligence points to the existence of a secret NATO nuclear missile launch facility. What begins as a routine suppression mission quickly escalates into a race against time to locate, secure, and control a strategic weapon capable of shifting the balance of power.

Fight across five missions, featuring diverse objectives, evolving battle conditions, and the ever-present threat of escalation.
