Greetings Commanders,

Today we want to expand the strategic depth of our roster system and give you greater deck building options. These changes are, as ever, based on community feedback and we’re confident they will please.


The roster system now has a total of 10 slots. One commander slot, and then three slots for each unit type category, infantry, vehicle/tank and air.

However, unlike the vehicle/tanks units, Infantry and Air rosters currently lack enough units to fill their 3rd slot. So, we will open that slot to all unused available units from the same unit type being selected.

So for example, if the player likes T1 infantry rather than the T2 option, they can now use that 3rd infantry slot to round out their roster. Same thing with the air units. Previously, you had a tough time deciding between the Falcon/Prion/Wasp. Now players will be able to have at least 2 of the available air units for their 3rd unit type slot.


Each faction's transport unit will now be available by default under the Corebase build menu. This affects Standard Versus, Skirmish, Payload, and Cooperative games modes. Battlelines and Brawl game modes do not need air transport to function, while Round Robin does not support slot loadouts and this game mode does not have a corebase, so we can exclude it.

We’re happy to respond to your feedback about the roster system like this and we’ve more to come. We’re looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on this. For now, enjoy experimenting with the new roster freedoms and the other game improvements.
- Your Crossfire: Legion team

Greetings Commanders,
Another monthly update is here and adds a new fast paced game mode for you to test your command skills on, as well as friends features to help you better coordinate your battles. We’ve also made another large swath of fixes to improve your battle experiences.



Up-to 8 players enter this Free-for-all arena mode, with only one emerging victorious.
All players who enter the Round Robin mode will be matched against each other in rounds. These 1v1 rounds will be fought simultaneously on isolated battlefields within the same map

Each round starts with a short window of time to build units at your core base. You can choose any unit, from any faction, with their abilities already unlocked. Choose wisely, however, as you are limited to 400 minerals, 400 fuel, and 50 population points.

When the build phase is over, you’ll command your units to fight. Survive to win the round and score a point. Once all the rounds and face-offs have been completed, the player with the most points wins.
Quick reflexes, flexible strategies, and a deep understanding of unit synergies and counters will see you prevail.

So, if you ever wanted to know how a behemoth mech and imperator artillery tank combo would fare, or any combination of units really, then this is the game mode for you.



We’ve also added a host of new features that allow you to easily find your friends in game and set up battles either against or with each other.
