Note written 2026-09-14; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

Real-time tactical wargame focused on Cold War-era airland combat with deep unit rosters and asymmetric faction mechanics.

Wargame: Airland Battle is a quiet earner with solid community retention (87% positive, half still active) and stable residual revenue in the $300/mo range despite zero promotional activity in over a year. The franchise has modest but loyal reach across multiple languages, particularly strong in Russian and English markets. This is a legitimate catalog hold for patient publishers or a candidate for light revival (balance patches, community events) that could reactivate lapsed players without heavy investment. Not a blockbuster play, but defensible as part of a legacy games portfolio. Most realistic play: watch.

• Risk: Player count has contracted to single digits concurrent; matchmaking queues may already be thin, which could accelerate decline if new players cannot find opponents.
• Risk: Build is over seven years old with no developer activity in 12+ months; engine and netcode may face compatibility drift with modern OS updates.
• Risk: Real-time tactics genre skews hardcore; audience is not expanding, only aging alongside the title.
