[previewyoutube=1amDrdbZZXw;full][/previewyoutube] Commanders, you won't have time to let you guard down in the "Guerrilla Warfare" update, as soldiers of the new class can now strike from the most unexpected places at any moment! Their bags are full of TNT, they can operate in most of the enemy battle area and they carry ammunition for any captured weapon! And more importantly, they will be available not only in premium squads, but also in the research tree of each country.
Repel the enemy and carry out sabotage operations behind their lines in the new "Mountain pass" missions, set in a new part of the Ardennes, inspired by the bloody battles between the US and Germany in the winter of 1944. In the middle of these snowy mountain forests and hastily built Allied fortifications, you will fight for the control of a small town with an important transport hub. Dress warmly!
There are also new legendary weapons and vehicles waiting for you! The Germans now have access to the famous Marder III tank destroyers, while the Soviets respond to new challenges with a researchable KV-2, and on top of that, guerrilla squads with sawed-off PPSh submachine guns join both countries!
