German Units

  • Rifles Squad 39-45
Seven men and officers armed with rifles and some sub-machine guns.
  • LMG 34 – Belt Fed 39-45
With the 200 round belt-fed ammo, the LMG 34 became the classic infantry squad medium support weapon.
  • Mortar 5cm 39-42
The 5cm light mortar proved to be underpowered and was later supplanted by the 8cm mortar.
  • Mortar 8cm 39-45
Three man crews manned these mortars which could fire indirectly. They replaced the 5cm mortars.
  • Pioneer Squad 39-45
Specially trained squads of 8-10 men that assaulted fortified positions, laid mines and set traps.
  • 7.5cm Infantry Gun 39-45
The short barrel leIG 18 light infantry gun was used for close support against soft targets and fired high explosive shells.
  • PaK36 39-42
The Germans were totally unprepared for the Soviet T-34 tank and the PaK36 3.7cm shells literally bounced off of its armor.
  • PaK38 41-45
This 5cm AT gun was too weak against the heavily armed T-34 and KV tanks and was useful only at short ranges.
  • Anti-Air Gun FlaK18 39-45
This gun was converted into one of the most effective anti-tank guns of the war. It could penetrate any armor.
  • Wagons 39-45
A majority of both armies were supplied by horse drawn wagons. Wagons outnumbered all other vehicles combined.
  • Truck 39-45
The German army was lucky to have trucks when available. Most supplies were still transported by wagons.
  • SdKfz 251/1 APC 39-45
Heavy-duty armored troop transporter that could keep up with tanks. Armed with two mounted LMG 34s.
  • Panzer 38t 39-42
This Czech tank was slated to be a main battle tank, but proved to be vulnerable and underpowered. 3.7cm L48 gun.
  • Panzer IIf 40-43
This reconnaissance tank was similar to the PzIIc (not in game), but had added armor.
  • Panzer IIIe 39-41
Intended to be the main German battle tank, the puny 3.7cm gun proved to be useless against most Soviet tanks.
  • Panzer IIIh 41-42
Pz IIIe tanks were retrofitted with 5cm guns and much thicker armor to protect against the T-34 tank.
  • Panzer IIIj 42-43
In an attempt to counter the devastating T-34, this upgraded tank was already obsolete when introduced.
  • Panzer IVd 39-43
An infantry support tank that sported a short 7.5cm L24 gun effective against soft targets only.
  • Panzer IVf2 42-43
Upgraded to a 7.5cm anti-tank gun, making it the new main battle tank for the Germans, replacing the aging PzIIIs.


Soviet Units

  • Rifle Squad 39-41
10 men and officers armed with rifles. Though not as tactically trained as the Germans, they had greater firepower.
  • SMG/Rifles Squad 41-42
The Soviets began to supply more men with dreaded sub-machine guns. By war’s end, 34% of all Soviet hand weapons were comprised of SMGs.
  • Maxim MMG Squad 39-45
The model 1910 Maxim was heavy and cumbersome, but rugged and reliable.
  • Mortar 50mm 39-42
The 50mm light mortar proved to be too underpowered to have any great effect on the battlefield.
  • Mortar 82mm 39-45
Most heavily produced Soviet mortar. Some had wheels affixed to the base for easier movement. Could fire indirectly and fire smoke.
  • AT Gun 45mm 39-45
Upgraded from the German PaK36, the 19-K L43 gun was very versatile, firing armor-piercing and high-explosive ammo.
  • Wagons 39-45
A majority of both armies were supplied by wagons. Wagons outnumbered all other vehicles combined.
  • GAZ Trucks 39-43
A Ford copy manufactured in Russia, the GAZ 2x4 wheel truck was the workhorse for the Soviets.
  • BA-10 Armored Car 39-43
Used mostly for reconnaissance, the BA-10 had light armor, good speed, a 45mm turreted main gun, and a MG. The most produced heavy armored car in the war.
  • BT-7 Light Tank 39-43
Lightly armored, the BT-7 was obsolete by 1941. Its design was a precursor of the T-34.
  • KV1a Heavy Tank 40-42
The most powerful serial-made tank at the beginning of the war, its thick armor was almost impenetrable.
  • KV2a Heavy Tank 40-43
The “Tank Buster” provided close support for the KV1a. Its main drawback was its slooow speed.
  • T-26b Light Tank 39-42
Though obsolete by Operation Barbarossa, this was the most numerous tank in the Soviet army at the time.
  • T-34a Med Tank 40-42
Considered the most successful tank series of WWII, it sported well-shaped and thick armor, small size and great speed.
  • T-34b 76.2mm F34 41-43
The gun was upgraded from the T-34a and the overall design simplified to make manufacturing simpler.
