==Production notes==
*'''[[Tour Coming Through]]''': Hot drop 50 squads to your Covenant Leader in a single game on Barrens (30 points).
The Historic Battle pack was originally envisioned as only shipping with three maps; Barrens, Blood River and Memorial Basin. However, [[Robot Entertainment]] saw a large fan demand for more 3v3 maps, and instead investigated the possibility of creating a new 3v3 map. Ultimately, it was determined infeasible to create a new map from scratch, so as a compromise the existing map [[Frozen Valley]] was used as a basis from which to create a new 3v3 map; Glacial Ravine.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/maps/GlacialRavine.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Skirmish Maps - Glacial Ravine 3v3|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Skirmish_Maps/3v3_Maps#Glacial_Ravine_3v3|D=20|M=4|Y=2017}}
*'''[[Never Leave a Man Behind]]''': Finish a game with 5000 net resources contributed to your teammates on Memorial Basin (15 points).
*'''[[Drain Cleaner]]''': Kill 20 enemy squads with a continuous Covenant Leader Power on Memorial Basin (30 points).
*'''[[Killjoy (achievement)|Killjoy]]''': Disrupt 5 active Leader Powers in a single game on Blood River (25 points).
