A new game mode is now available in Call to Arms: Gates of Hell. Update 22 also brings new units to the battlefield, along with other exciting changes.
New Game Mode
Domination is the latest game mode in Call to Arms: Gates of Hell. The main objective here is to defend your forward outpost and deal as much damage to the enemy as possible. You can use engineers to fortify your outpost as well.
This is a very flexible and dynamic game mode because secondary objectives will also be available as the battle continues. These new objectives may prompt you to advance into other areas on the map. Even though you can stay close to your outpost and use a more defensive approach, completing the secondary objectives will reward you with additional MP (manpower) points, which you can use to buy units. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.

Aside from that, some improvements have been implemented. For example, the accuracy of the StuG 3 Ausf.B’s main gun has been increased.
