March 2026 News

Welcome to the March 2026 news update for WARSURGE.

In the app department, we have launched the next update, v1.9.33. It is now live on Google Play and Apple Store. If your device does not download it automatically, you can go to the app store and update it manually. We recommend that you back up your data prior to updating. The patch notes we have are:

• Numerous new Perks*

• Perk fixes

• Support for Large Fonts in Lists (via Settings)

• QR Scan bug fixes

• Dice formulas accessible via Rules Tab (in Play)

*Unfortunately, there is something wrong with some of the upgrade and downgrade perks in v1.9.33, as they are not working as expected. They will be addressed in an update coming very soon.

We have covered most of these notes in February’s news (as they were planned at the time), but a brief recap:

Larger text font is an option that can be turned off on or off in Settings.

Artificial Opponent (Roster Perk) received a correction for a calculation issue to Rosters.

There have been a handful of Perk tweaks, and a lot of new Perks added to upgrade or downgrade how a unit handles weapons. There is also a new weapon perk called Sustained Hit (I to IV) that generates additional Attack Dice when you roll a 6.

After addressing some issues with the new upgrade/downgrade, there are some new features we’d like to do soon on the app. We’d like to have ‘Collections’ and adding Artificial Opponent tactics to a Unit’s profile. We’re also looking at a ‘language’ naming option in Units, handy for people who are looking forward to having their Units translated in the future.

The ‘Collections’ feature is an option we intend to connect to the Journal and Unit profiles, so that you can keep track of how many models and weapons a Unit has. This will help players with a lot of models or who lose track of what they have when building Rosters. Great for when you need to ask: “How many models do I have with that gun again?” We’ll share more when we have more details.

For those on Discord, we have a new channel to discuss thoughts on the upcoming Historical Compendium, a book containing preset unit profiles and factions for historical armies. If you have an interest in historical armies, from ancient through to world wars (and everything between), feel free to give your opinions or requests there. The Discord channel is called ‘compendium-vol-2-historical’.

The Free Rules have received an update that was mentioned as coming in last month’s news. The changes have made it more in line with the full Rulebook for explaining the rules and now have Section numbers. An update to most downloadable PDFs has been made as well, and we now have a German translation of the Casual Rules on the website.

Our workload is currently higher than normal which makes it tough to produce content such as bounties, but I’ve been entertaining the thought of a new series of random or mystery bounties. Rather than going in against an opponent that you know and can prepare for, you will not know for sure what you’re up against until the game begins. In this way, it’s similar to not knowing the details of your opponent’s roster before starting a game. However, the Bounty Scoreboard will come before this.
