Specialisations

In The Advanced Powers every faction has access to Specialisations; these are powerful upgrades that allow you to obtain a great many different units and abilities themed around specific subjects at the cost of replacing the original units and usually modifying the income rates. Specialisations can be as the name implies a specialisation into a specific type of combat while others represent forces that might not be exactly defined as a specialisation of their parent faction, such as the Imperial Japanese Forces.

These can usually be acquired for free through the main base building of the different factions: the KampfGruppe Headquarters for the Wehrmacht Ostheer, the Regimental Field Headquarters for the Soviet Union, the Command Headquarters for the Oberkommando West, the Barracks for the US Forces, and the Field Headquarters for the British Forces.

## Specialisations for each faction

### Wehrmacht Ostheer

* Heavy Infantry: Focus on German infantry and improve your troops with improved infantry body armor and devastating heavy weapons. Get access to elite and powerful variants of infantry units armed with highly advanced weapons and equipment
* Imperial Japanese Army: Gain access to several IJA infantry units and tanks that can be built from german buildings. While weak compared to the germans, they are numerous and can be deadly if used right.
* PanzerKraft: New elite, specialised divisions of panzers from the minds of the greatest german tank designers roll into battle wielding never before seen tank forces, supported by industry and elite crews.

### Oberkommando West

* Chemical Warfare: Reactivate all chemical weapons programs and have them handed over to trusted specialists within the german army. Get access to elite units and vehicles specialised in handling chemical weaponry.
* Phoenix Project: Initiate the Phoenix Project and bring your men back to the fight whether they like it or not. Get access to the undead, arm them with old weapons, form mighty biomechanical tanks, overwhelm the allies and strike fear with your reanimated power.
* WunderLuftWaffe: The Reich had reached out to the stars and found a vast cold void awaiting them. Under the direction of the Luftwaffe, elite Fallschirmjäger troops will be fitted with advanced technology and deployed from space. Receive support from orbital weaponry and jet aircraft as you utilise elite infantry and vehicles to break the enemy.

### Soviet Union

* Armoured Rush: Focus on soviet armor and roll over your enemies with massed use of tanks produced in the many factories of the Soviet Union. Unleash the might of the heavy steel beasts of the Motherland to break the enemy where they stand with specialised infantry backing them up.
* Shock Army: Unleash the power of the elite shock armies. Deploy hardened assault infantry to eliminate foes in brutal close quarters combat, and crush your enemies with the armored Juggernauts. Or trade part of your elite roster to call upon the reserves and overwhelm those who oppose you with mass numbers and fire power.
* Revolution of the People: The Rodina calls for its citizens to fight the advanced, terrifying, German menace. In exchange for Red Army troops, get access to a variety of civilian squads and ambush tunnels to infiltrate the enemies backline. At latter stages, the Soviet Union Intervenes by sending the elite VDV forces.

* War Bonds: Support Allied Forces with resource and logistic boosts and supplement them with what they need to win the war, or take matters into your own hands and utilize the might of the American industry to arm your own reserves with weapons, artillery and tanks and obliterate your enemies.

### British Forces

* Raid Operations: Utilize a mix of British ingenuity and stolen German equipment, all the while applying aggressive ambush and infiltration tactics to use the weight of the enemy against them. Get access to Special Forces, such as the Red Devils or the SAS, and vehicles that specialize in raid tactics.
* Royal Armour Company: Unleash the power of the British tank divisions. Gains access to a vast array of advanced vehicles fit for any task as well as specialized infantry that perform admirably as mechanized troops.
* Trench Warfare: Fall back on the tried and true infantry tactics of WW1, trade out access to most tanks and vehicles for more infantry and weapons, build extensive and strong defensive lines and utilise assault infantry, artillery and makeshift tanks to take whatever territory you don’t hold.
