After the release of Sudden Strike 2, developer Fireglow Games parted ways with its Russian publisher Russobit-M. The rights to the series' Russian name Confrontation was however retained by Russobit-M and the publisher commissioned a new entry in the series, Confrontation: Asia on Fire, by developer Red Ice Software without Fireglow's involvement. After the game's release in Russia, Fireglow filed a lawsuit against Russobit-M alleging that Red Ice and Russobit-M had illegally used assets and code belonging to Fireglow in the development of Asia on Fire without permission. An agreement was reached for the international release of the game crediting Fireglow as a co-developer, where it was released as Cold War Conflicts with no ties to the Confrontation or Sudden Strike series.
