Imagine a world where the Allies didn't win the war, nor did the Axis. Instead, the war just continued on and on in an unsteady stalemate. Welcome, to the world of 1949. In this world Germany decided not to bomb London, but instead continued its attacks on Britain's airfields. Then, the Russians lost at Kursk. Finally, D-Day fails. With these victories, Germany has managed to halt the Allie's progress. In the Western Theatre, the Allies and the Axis each plan the invasion of the other's vital territories. In the Pacific, Japan and the United States are dueling over tiny islands with giant fleets and atomic weapons. Now, the stalemate is about to be broken. Germany is preparing an all out invasion of Britain. As tough and valiant as the Allied troops defending the Sceptered Isle are, some of their leaders are beginning to that they will be unable to hold against the Wehrmacht.

Presenting the troops of the SS Waffen, the newest units of 1949.

Posted by on

Screenshots of two new units have been added to the images page. They are for SS Grenadiers and SS Reich's Guards, two units provided by the SS Waffen Division option. Stormtroopers are also part of this Division, but they have the same skin as vanilla. They are more oriented around AT operations now, though. Anyway, without further ado, here are the two new units:

SS Grenadiers:

SS Grenadiers are oriented around the idea of assaulting enemies, particularly entrenched ones. Each unit comes equipped with two flamethrowers for displacing enemies from cover. These weapons are also extremely good for crowd control, a vitally important factor to be considered by any Wehrmacht commander. Additionally, their incendiary grenades provide even more firepower for their unit. Literally.

SS Reich's Guards:
The most elite troops of the SS. They can be equipped to specialize in either of the SS Division's two areas of expertise: anti tank or anti personnel. Picking one of these will result in the distribution of either two panzerschrecks or two flamethrowers. Regardless of which free upgrade is chosen, SS Reich's Guards are so feared by their enemies, that they can rout hostile infantry. Suffice to say, when these men join the kampf, there is no enemy that does not dread their presence.
