Army branches

[hectorhfm]

Hello guys, I was asking myself if this game is going to have several kind of soldiers: pilots, tankers, recon, normal infantry or even spies. As I see the scenarios are made and planed before playing. Consequently I guess there'll be a fixed amount of soldiers and only some branches will be available to play in that scenario.

Do you know if this is going to happen this way?

Chapter 1 will include only infantry. In chapter 2 will add armor. They will be special units like sniper and maybe medics.

Hi,

I suggest you to read all the news updates etc., this will give you deeper look into the game

Welcome to Traction Wars, [MENTION=2889]hectorhfm[/MENTION] Tanks are planned for Chapter Two, and planes are a maybe for the far future. In Chapter One, available classes we know of are Assault, Commander, Grenadier, Machine gunner, Mortarman, Rifleman, NCO, Sapper, Sniper, and hopefully Spotter. Don't forget to have spotters, devs, basically just riflemen with binocs and, perhaps, a backpack radio. They're key to the effective use of mortars and snipers.

And yes, what classes are available depends on the map; it's based on historical accuracy. For example, if mortar units were known not to be present at an engagement (such as Merville Battery, where the Brits lacked them), then they probably won't be on the map.

We definitely need Radio Operators!

We will be going through what classes players will be able to choose within the coming weeks, but I should point out that we do reiterate on our design and scope so you won't be seeing things like spotters, radio operators, commanders etc.

I mostly love ground battles. Air battles aren't my taste.

Medics are a must, too!
