[NOTE: PROGRESS ON THIS MOD HAS STOPPED. COMPLETED FILES AVAILABLE IN DOWNLOADS PAGE. THANK YOU!] A mod for the Axis and Allies RTS adding a new campaign and new maps, new units, and two new factions; the Strategically Integrated Coalition of Nations (SICON for short) and the Arachnid Empire. After SICON victory on the "bugs"' home planet of Klendathua, and the supposed destruction of the Arachnid queen in space, the great bug was thought to be over. The Earth could now attend to matters of peace. This all changed when the bugs; who had secretly infiltrated some of the highest levels of earth's nations, launched a suprise attack. It is up to you as a SICON general to stop the arachnid's offensive, and save humanity from annihilation. ( Heavily based on the TV show ROUGHNECKS: Starship Troopers Chronicles )
Basically a sniper regiment on steroids, this unit doesn't really have too much of a purpose in the mod, being designed mainly for killing infantry, but is actually rather effective.
Regiment stats:
2x Special Forces Snipers (260 hp, 2 defense)
-Sniper Rifle: 14 + 250 pierce damage vs arachnids and infantry
-Frag Grenade: 20 blast damage + 10 pierce damage
6x Special Forces Commandos (260 hp, 2 defense)
-Assault Rifle: 16 pierce damage, rapid fire.
-Grenade Launcher: 15 blast damage + 9 pierce damage vs infantry
-Frag Grenade: 20 blast damage + 10 pierce damage
1x Squad Leader (265 hp, 2 defense)
-SMG: 15 pierce damage, rapid fire
-Frag Grenade: 20 blast damage + 10 pierce damage
The Commandos and CO unit all use MP40 models at the moment and fire in automatic, but are not fired from the hip like other units with SMGs. (They use the US Infantry model and animations, though the M1 garand is swapped for the MP40 model)
The regiment has the following techs: trailblazing, recon, and body armor (+2% pierce damage resistance, +2% blast damage resistance, -2% AP damage resistance). It also has different skins for artic and desert terrains.
I was also thinking of messing around more with the MP40 model the Commandos carry and making them look more like Assault rifles, with the exception of the one the CO carries.
They've already been tweaked a bit and are smaller and shorter then the vanilla MP40 model.
Likewise, the M1 Garand model used for the snipers is larger and longer then the vanilla model.
