Wehrmacht

A structured force with powerful support weapons, layered defenses and formidable armor.

How Wehrmacht wants to fight

STRENGTH

Battlefield identity

A defensive powerhouse early with broad support-weapon access, then increasingly dangerous as tech opens stronger infantry and late-game armor.

COMMAND WARNING

What can go wrong

Early strength comes from positioning and layered support. Overextending before heavier tech arrives wastes what the faction does best.
