British Army

Overview
As old as the empire it guards, Her Majesty’s Armed Forces were designed to weather both the enemy and time. As fierce as lions and supported by military ingenuity, Britain's loyal defenders were arguably the world’s finest fighting force.

Infantry
Highly-trained and experienced, British infantry have proven themselves as the plucky equal to their German counterparts. British Infantry Sections are best utilised in medium-range combat, where their quick-bolting Lee-Enfield rifles can be used to maximum effectiveness. Their weapon upgrades retain high accuracy, and while affordable, do somewhat lack the raw firepower of German firearms.

Light Vehicles
The British have access to a mixed motor pool of American Lend-Lease trucks and half-tracks alongside heavier armed and armoured British-designed vehicles. While able to perform far outside their weight class, British light vehicles are relatively expensive, and can be countered through mostly conventional means.

Tanks
British tank designs are a tale of two worlds: fast-moving and -firing cruiser tanks which utilise speed and manoeuvrebility to seek and destroy their targets, and lumbering behemoths that are the infantry support tanks built to withstand monstrous amounts of punishment. While each class of tank is equipped and designed almost exclusively for its role, using them in conjunction with one another can lead to spectacularly smashing results!

Specialization
British Army is unique compared to other faction. They have Specialization option between Hammer and Anvil. These specialization affect some units on certain doctrines as well the commander abilities gained through said doctrine.

Troop Command Post
Equipped with a wide range of specialized weaponry, the British Army was built to root out any entrenched enemy positions. Augmented by Lend-Lease vehicles and supplies, Britain’s bulldogs could easily transition from defense to offense.

Company Command Post
Sharing a dual lineage between the Infantry and traditional Cavalry, Britain’s armoured elements were as diverse as they were unique. Designed to work in unison, these tanks ranged from agile cruisers to slow, nigh impenetrable behemoths.

Forward Assembly
Both rally and supply point, the Forward Assembly was the backbone of Britain’s advance across Europe. Providing a steady stream of supplies and reinforcements, these structures enabled the Queen’s Armies to constantly pressure ‘Jerry’.
