352. Infanterie (SD2)

**352. Infanterie** is an Axis Infantry division in *Steel Division II*, available in the *Back to War* pack.

Amalgamating survivors from several Eastern Front divisions, the 352. took position at Omaha Beach just prior to D-Day without the Allies having noticed it. Well trained and armed, and with a strong core of veterans, the division stood its ground all day, inflicting such losses on the Americans that it almost foiled the allied invasion on the first day.

Kraiß's defensive skills, honed on the Russian Front, almost foiled the Allied plans on D-Day when his division stopped cold the first two American waves at Omaha.

Another WW1 infantry veteran, Kraiß remained true to this arm in WW2, commanding several divisions on the Russian Front from March 1941.
In late 1943, he took command of 352. Infantry Division, forming in France from new recruits and remnants of several divisions destroyed in the East.
Kraiß proved successful in merging the veterans and replacements, and his division was inserted in the Atlantic Wall just prior to D-Day, right in front of what would become Omaha Beach.

While the Americans had planned to encounter only second-rate troops manning the defences, they were slaughtered on the beach by Kraiß' well-disciplined and well-trained troops. But by the end of the day, threatened on his flanks and running short of reinforcements and ammo, he had to pull his men off.
Kraiß was killed in August in the Saint-Lô sector.

3rd Canadian Infantry (SD2)

**3rd Canadian Infantry** is an Allied Mechanized division in *Steel Division II*, available as part of the *Back to War* pack.

Storming Juno Beach in the face of strong German resistance, the 3rd Canadian Infantry was the only allied division to achieve all of its D-Day objectives, also managing to penetrate further inland than any other division that day. True to the reputation of their WW1 forefathers, the Canadian infantrymen were regarded by their enemies as the "Stormtroopers of the British Empire".

Its commander, Rodney Keller, was considered a soldier's general, outspoken and caring for the lives of his men, Keller led his division further inland on D-Day than any other, despite German resistance being strongest in his sector, but for Omaha Beach.
'Rod' Keller started the war as a colonel, before quickly rising through the ranks with the expansion of the Canadian armed forces.

Given command of the untested 3rd Canadian Infantry Division in September 1942, in just two years he transformed this motley collection of recruits into a cohesive and professional fighting force, which demonstrated its skill on D-Day by performing better than any other assault division, despite heavy odds.

But the strain of combat took its toll on Keller, and he was soon regarded (including by himself) as unfit for command. Wounded by friendly fire in August, he was replaced as the head of his division, never to return to active duty.
15th Infantry (SD2)

**15th Infantry** is an A-rated Allied Infantry division in *Steel Division II*, available as part of the *Back to War* pack.

Although inexperienced, the 15th Infantry Division fared better in Normandy than many veteran British units. Supported by Churchill’s tanks, the Scots attacked and gained ground on the dreaded 12. SS-Panzer, forcing the Germans to commit several of their precious armoured units against them.

His superior considered MacMillan one of the best, if not THE best, division commanders in Normandy, and attributed to him most of the merits of the Oden offensive.
MacMillan passed unscathed through some of WW1’s worst carnage (Somme, Passchendael, Arras, …), ending the war as one of the most decorated lieutenants in the British Army.
He first saw combat in WW2 participating in the Allied landing in French Algeria in 1943, then was given field command six months later, leading a brigade in the invasion of Sicily.
He was once again distinguished for his performance during this campaign, and promoted to take command of the 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division in England.
He trained for a year in preparation for the invasion of Europe, but only landed in Normandy on D+7. Yet his division will play a key role in Montgomery's offensive across the Odon and towards the infamous Hill 112.
6th SA Armoured

**6th SA Armoured** is an Allied A-rated Armored division in *Steel Division II*, available in the Tribute to the Liberation of Italy pack. The 6th South African Armoured Division was one of the largest Allied divisions of its kind. Built by merging several decimated or incomplete formations, it fought in Italy from 1944 onwards where it took part in the liberation of Rome and the battle of Treviso.

A mix of various troops can be found within this battlegroup, including British Guards infantry, South African soldiers, and many more. Largely equipped with American vehicles, unusually so, the division also fields variants of British origins, including Firefly and Sherman 76mm tanks, 105mm support guns, Greyhound and Staghounds. It fields heavy artillery, 114mm and 140mm, as well as 94mm dual-purpose AA guns, while its detachment of Wolverines is able to perform indirect fire.

The 6th South African Armoured Division is a well-rounded battlegroup with access to a host of hard-hitting units and equipment.
3-ya Gvard. Mechanizi. Korpus

**3-ya Gvard. Mechanizi. Korpus** is a Soviet division in *Steel Division II*. The 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps was among one of the first units to find its way across the Berezina river during Bagration, linking with partisans which had held key bridges.

While its recon troops use lend-lease American half-tracks of British universal carriers, ‘mechanized’ is a misnomer as the Soviets transported troops mostly in trucks.
This division’s strong infantry is augmented with partisan units acting as light infantry or scouts, backed up by Valentine tanks and Emcha’s (lend-lease M4A2 Shermans).

The 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps features weak AA defenses, a fate shared with other Soviet mobile troops, but can count on strong air support and is otherwise a well-rounded division.

1st Airborne Task Force's 2nd Independent Parachute Brigade Group has 64th Airlanding Light Battery, RA which had 8 M1 75mm Howtizers.
5. Panzer

**5. Panzer** is an Axis Panzer division in *Steel Division II*. The elite 5th Panzerdivision was call in as reinforcement and thrown as firemen against the Red tide to stem the Bagration offensive.

Battle-hardened and well-equipped with Panthers, even reinforced with Tigers, it is the mightiest and most deadly German division in the sector.
Its only weakness resides with its recon element, restricted to infantry scouts due to the heavier half of its recon battalion being away in Germany to receive and train on new vehicles.

A heavy-weight super-champion with a short sight.

3rd Armored (SD2)

## 3rd Armored "Spearhead"

**3rd Armored (SD2)** is an A-rated Allied Armored division in *Steel Division II*, available as part of the *Back to War* pack.

Suffering for weeks in "hedgerow hell" and the heavy fighting for Saint-Lô, the "Spearhead" finally broke into rolling country with Operation Cobra. From then, true to its nickname, the 3rd Armoured engaged in a race towards the Seine, capturing tens of thousands of German troops in the process.

Leading his heavy division through the Cotentin's 'hedgerow hell', Watson had to adapt and develop new tactics to fight in such a close environment.
A WW1 infantry veteran, Watson transferred to the forming armoured forces in the Interwar, rising to command of his own armoured regiment in 1940.
Given command of 3rd Armoured Division, he led it through the Normandy campaign, especially the vicious fighting in the bocage and for Saint-Lô.
Afterwards, he played a major part in the American breakthrough out of bocage country and in the battle of Falaise.
Yet, he was soon to be demoted and stripped of his command by Eisenhower for having let a major tank and truck jam develop behind the lines. But by the end of the war, he had recovered his general’s stars and was back leading an infantry division.

17. Divisioona

**17. Divisioona** is an Axis C-grade Infantry division in *Steel Division II*, available in the *Men of Steel* DLC.

The Axis Finnish-Swedish 17. Divisioona saw action during the Fall of Vyborg on the Karelian isthmus following the Soviet summer offensive in 1944. Containing not only the shaky recruits that led to the fall of the city, but the division also counts on experienced Fenno-Swede volunteers who ultimately prevented a catastrophic breakthrough.
The mix of inexperienced Prikaatilainen bolstered by Swedish Sextiettan provides the core of the time-locked division’s fighting power. Indirect fire support is plentiful, from reworked BT-42s to numerous artillery mortars and guns, including captured 203 H/17 203mm. Anti-air units are likewise potent, from motorized Ford-powered Urk-Itkk to 75mm 76 ItK/34V guns with AP shells.
The 17. Divisioona is a defensive battlegroup invested in infantry, anti-air, and artillery, and when committed to built-up battlefields, can steadily grind its way to victory.
184-ya Strelkovy

**184-ya Strelkovy** is a Soviet division in *Steel Division II*. The 184th Rifle Division was a regular Soviet infantry division, counting the feared female sniper Roza Shanina as one of its serving members - until her death in East Prussia in early 1945.

This division fields Strelki squads instead of Gvardyia units, the former fielding less SMGs but more SVT semi-automatic rifles compared to the latter.
An independent tank brigade is attached to this division, fielding older lend-lease tanks: M3S Lee (with the longer 75mm gun), M3L Stuart and Valentine tanks.
However, it can also rely on several ISU-122 heavy assault guns that can double as tank destroyers, as well as large quantities of towed artillery.

The 184th Rifle Division is less offensive-minded than comparable Soviet divisions, and fights at is best defensively in well-prepared positions.

82nd Airborne

**82nd Airborne** is an Allied Airborne division in *Steel Division*, playable during Mission Boston.

## Background

Mission Boston was the codename for the US 82nd Airborne's combat drop over Cotentin on June 6th. This veteran division from Sicilty and Italy played a crucial role in D-Day's planning, for it landed at the extreme right flank of the invasion, which it had to secure at all costs. Although the drop went better (or less badly) than its sister-division, the 101st, the 82nd was scattered all over Cotentin and, as a consequence, understrength or ad-hoc units went on fighting to secure objectives intended for much larger outfits, such as Sainte-Mere-Eglise and the Merderet crossings.
20. Panzer

**20. Panzer** is an Axis B-grade Panzer division in *Steel Division II*. This one was the only Panzerdivision available in Army Group Center’s reserve at the start of operation Bagration.

But it was the poor child of the Panzerwaffe with only one tank battalion (instead of the standard two) and restricted to Panzer III & Panzer IV models.
To compensate for those shortcomings, 20th Panzer scrounges everything it can get its hands on, including captured Soviet tanks, anti-tank guns & even infantry weapons.

It stands half-way between a weak Panzerdivision and a powerful and versatile Panzergrenadier one.

Then redesignated as 2nd Battalion, 503rd Parachute Infantry on February 24, 1942. The final redesignation as 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion came in December 10, 1943. 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion served in the airborne component of Operation Torch serving in the first American airborne drop along with Italy.

During Operation Ruby 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion served in 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion Combat Team being supported by 463rd Parachute Field Artillery Battalion. Parachute Infantry Battalion Combat Team was planned to land in Drop Zone C but only Serial 4 made it to the drop zone with Serial 5 being mis-dropped.

This battalion served in the 1st Airborne Task Force.
14. Infanterie

**14. Infanterie** is an Axis Infantrydivision in *Steel Division II*. Forming the 4. Armee’s reserve behind the lines in the Orsha sector, 14. Infanterie-Division was thrown into the battle piecemeal, but was reinforced with powerful mechanized troops when deployed, making it in effect an improvised Panzergrenadier division.

14. Infanterie is a division sorely missing one of its three infantry regiments, but in return can bring massive StuG and Tiger armor to bear.
This division also uses a fair number of captured artillery and anti-tank guns, even going as far as fielding Soviet infantry weapons.

The 14. Infanterie lives up more to the standard of a Panzergrenadier division - which it briefly had been - rather than a regular infantry one, and can pack a mean, armored punch.

## Background

Finland captured 37 ML-20 howitzers from the Soviet Union during Continuation War along with 27 more howitzers were bought from Germany in 1944. These were used by four heavy artillery battalions (18th, 28th, 39th and 40th)

20th Brigade which 17. Divisioona supported had Raskas patteristo 20 which were planned to have 12 152 H/37.
20. Panzergrenadier

**20. Panzergrenadier** is a German Mechanized division in *Steel Division II* Nemesis Division series. One of the Wehrmacht’s “fire brigades” on the Eastern Front, the veteran 20. Panzergrenadier was accustomed to being rushed into battle when most needed. Forced to stem the tide again during the Lvov-Sandomierz offensive, the 20. PzG could count on the heavy-hitting support of s.Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653.

Depleted of equipment and weaker than other panzergrenadier divisions, the battlegroup does feature a full-strength complement of StuG IVs and Jagdpanzer IVs.
The s.PzJäger-Abt. 653 fields the most impressive - and unusual - units. This attached formation can deploy Elefant heavy tank destroyers and improvised heavy prime movers, command tanks, and mobile Flakvierling AA guns mounted on Panther and T-34 tank chassis.

The 20. Panzergrenadier is incredibly powerful on the defense but lacks the recon and tank strength to serve as a true offensive battlegroup.

1. Pancerna (SD2)

**1. Pancerna** is an Allied Armored division in *Steel Division 2*, added by the D-Day Pack.
Unwavering in their desire for vengeance, the Free Poles were the vanguard of the First Canadian Army. Adopting light cavalry tactics more suited to their spirit, they harassed the Germans up to Mont Ormel, where they stood their ground alone against the tide of two armies.

Their commander, Stanisław Maczek, was pioneer of motorised warfare, and Poland's best armoured general, Maczek's lightning offensive ahead of the Canadians came very close to sealing the Falaise pocket.
A WW1 and later Polish war veteran, Maczek was a pioneer in combined armed battlegroups and motorised tactics.
Remaining in the army during the Interwar, his experience made him the perfect choice as commander of the first Polish motorised brigade in 1938.

During the campaigns of Poland and France, Maczek displayed outstanding skills and bravery, but was finally forced to seek refuge in the UK with what remained of his men, to reorganise, re-arm and fight amongst the Allies.
Landing in Normandy in late July 1944 with an underequipped and understrength division, Maczek spearheaded the First Canadian Army during the battle of Falaise, actually sealing the pocket for a while and supporting the full brunt of the German breakout offensive.

**10-y Gv. Tank. Korpus** is a Soviet Armored division in *Steel Division II* Nemesis Division series. An experienced division formed by the battles of Kursk and Bryansk, the 10-y Gv. Tank. Korpus (10th Guards Tank Corps) spearheaded the assault at the start of the Lvov-Sandomierz Operation.
The attached 51st Independent Motorcycle Regiment, with its captured German equipment, acted as the vanguard.

The 10-y Gv. Tank. Korpus has access to the T-34/76 and the more potent T-34/85, while several lend-lease Valentine III and SU-57 can be found with its powerful recon forces.
The battlegroup’s roster also features half a dozen Tiger E (T-6 Tigr) and Panther A (T-5 Pantera) tanks.
The corps main drawback lies with its AA, limited to 37mm AA guns and quad-Maxim, forcing it to rely on its air force for cover.

The 10-y Gv. Tank. Korpus excels as an offensive battlegroup but can lose its footing when pressed hard in a defensive situation.

116. Panzer (SD2)

**116. Panzer** is an Axis Armored division in *Steel Division II*, available as part of the *Back to War* pack.

Formed only three months before D-Day by merging survivors from the East Front with reserve units, the 116. Panzer Division was a motley crew. Although lacking in experience and training on their newest tanks, the 116. had the particularity, unlike other Panzer divisions, of having been able to retain some of its older, lighter models.

An aristocrat, Graf (Count) 'Gert' von Schwerin had proven himself to be a skilled and charismatic infantry commander on the Russian front, but any hope of Germany winning the war was lost to him by the time he arrived in Normandy.

Von Schwerin started his career, aged 19, in the Kaiser's Guard during the last year of WW1. An anti-Nazi from the start, he tried to warn British intelligence about Hitler before the war, but to no avail.
Nevertheless, he served with the German military during WW2, in France, North Africa and the USSR, distinguishing himself on several occasions before being given command of his own division in late 1942.

In 1944, convinced that the war was lost, Schwerin was involved in (or at least aware of) the 20th July plot against Hitler, and thus showed no zeal in conducting Hitler's desperate counter-attack at Mortain in Normandy.
After the retreat to the German border, he tried to deliver Aachen to the Allies without useless destruction, but his attempt was discovered by the Nazis, who had him relieved.

Its commander, Sir Richard Gale, was an advocate of quality over number, Gale favoured extensive training to drill his troops to perfection, with an emphasis on shock manoeuvres. He was a decorated WW1 veteran who served in India during the Interwar, only returning to England as major in 1936. Well-regarded by his superiors, Gale was given command of 1st parachute Brigade upon its formation in 1941, and then was promoted to command the newly formed 6th Airborne Division in 1943.
He spent the next year organising and training his division to accomplish the many missions required of it on D-Day.
Later in the war, he went on to command I Airborne Corps.

1. Lovas

**1. Lovas** is an Axis Mechanized division in *Steel Division II*. The 1st Cavalry Division was an elite unit of the Hungarian Army, originally planned for homeland defense, but after Third Reich pressure positioned in Ukraine were the Wehrmacht expected the main Soviet offensive to occur.
Although the Germans had promised that the lightly equipped division wouldn’t be pitted against tanks, during operation Bagration it was hurried to the south of Minsk in a desperate attempt to slow down the Soviet onslaught.

The 1st Cavalry Division fields quite a few light and medium tanks, mostly Hungarian-made 38M Toldi and the  40M Turán. To face the tanks of the Red Army, the hussars can bring other assets to bear, especially their dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns.

The 1st Cavalry Division is a versatile division and can count on strong infantry, air support and other flexible units, especially anti-aircraft ones.

19-y Tankovy Korpus

**19-y Tankovy Korpus** is a Soviet Infantry division in *Steel Division II: Burning Baltics*. From late June to mid-August 1944, the 19-y Tank Corpus fought from Vitebsk to Riga’s outskirts, losing half of its tank strength along the way. When Operation Doppelkopf unfolded, this formation was one of the few mobile units available to counter the attack.

The battlegroup features less infantry and fewer T-34/85 tanks compared to a standard Soviet tank corps, but can deploy a select number of KV-85 and IS-2 heavy tanks in turn. A wider choice of artillery, including Katyusha launchers, 152mm guns, and even 203mm howitzers, as well as AA units, are available. Additional firepower is brought to bear by the lend-lease American B-25J-30, a modified close support plane, armed with seven forward-facing .50 cal machine guns.

The 19-y Tank Corpus is an armored battlegroup that feels most at ease in defensive situations.

26. Panzer

**26. Panzer** is an Axis A-rated Infantry division in *Steel Division II*, available in the Tribute to the Liberation of Italy pack. The 26. Panzerdivision was dispatched to Italy in 1943, where it remained for the rest of the war, becoming the sole German armored division after the summer of 1944. It fought both Allied landings at Salerno and Anzio before playing a crucial role in defeating Operation Olive on the Adriatic coast.

The battlegroup never received its full complement of Panthers instead relying on Panzer IVs for its armored fist. Additional tank support can be called on with the Flammpanzer III, captured Italian Semovente 75mm and 105mm, and a single remaining Semovente assault gun with a 90mm gun. Quite a few of the battlegroup’s units are mechanized, including the rare self-propelled FAMO 88mm Flak gun.

The 26. Panzerdivision is a well-rounded formation with solid tank, infantry, and anti-tank units but lacking artillery.

1 Blindata "România Mare"

**1 Blindata "România Mare"** is a Romanian Armored division in *Steel Division II: Black Sunday*. The 1 Blindata “Greater Romania” was the sole armored division of the Romanian Army during World War II. Created in 1941, the formation was destroyed several times over during the brutal fighting on the Eastern Front, most famously during the mammoth battles of Stalingrad.

Reconstituted with the latest German armored vehicles, including the Panzer IV and StuG III, the 1 Blindata can count on locally produced materiel such as the small and cheap TACAM T-60 tank destroyer. The very capable Resita 75mm AT gun is also available, able to be used as a field gun if needed. Guarding the sky above is the modern Romanian-made fighter: the IAR-81M.

The 1 Blindata is an armored division powerful on the offensive, thanks to its mix of potent Romanian and German units.

26-ya Gvard. Strelkovy

**26-ya Gvard. Strelkovy** is a Soviet Infantry division in *Steel Division II*. The 26th was one of the divisions earmarked for Bagration’s first assault wave against Orsha, one of the main German stronghold.

Tasked with breaking through the lines of the elite 78. Sturm division, it was reinforced with special assault units: OT-34 flame tanks, KV heavy tanks, super-heavy artillery (self-propelled 203mm howitzers & 280mm howitzers), engineers-sappers (the crème de la crème of the Soviet Army).
Stripped of most tracked guns (AA, artillery & AT), it compensates with self-propelled ones and heavy fighter-bomber support (IL-2 and Pe-2).

Definitively one of the strongest close-quarter and anti-infantry division on the Soviet roster, it will require more skill to defeat an armor-strong opponent.

5. SS-Panzer "Wiking"

**5. SS-Panzer "Wiking"** is a German Armored division in *Steel Division II: Death on the Vistula*. Having only recently been brought up to Panzerdivision status, the 5. SS-Panzerdivision “Wiking” was one of the first substantial reinforcements to arrive east. Tasked with preventing Warsaw from falling to the Soviets, the veteran foreign volunteers of this formation inflicted a costly setback to the Red Army around Kovel.

Reconstituted in a hurry, the “Wiking” has an entire armored company equipped with StuG IVs instead of Panzer IVs. Uncustomary, a Bergepanther can be deployed into combat as a heavy prime mover. Furthermore, scavenged Soviet materiel fills its ranks, including Beute T-34/85s and SU-76s. The Luftwaffe can count on the brand-new, long-nosed Fw 190D-9 fighter to achieve aerial superiority.

The 5. SS Panzerdivision “Wiking” fields a large amount of infantry which offsets the absence of hard-hitting tanks, allowing it to still form a very resilient and powerful battlegroup.

358-ya Strelkova Div

## 358-ya Strelkovaya

**358-ya Strelkova Div** is a B-rated Soviet Infantry division in *Steel Division II: Fate of Finland*. A veteran division from the first (failed) Soviet offensive against Vitebsk in 1943, 358-ya Strelkovy Div. (358th Rifle Division) was rebuilt and sent to the Leningrad theatre in early 1944.
Spearheading the assault, it broke through three Finnish defensive lines and pushed the front all the way to Vyborg.

As an experienced rifle division, the 358th can count on specialized Gruppa Zachistki (“trench cleaners”) to deal with fortifications and enemy strong points. It also fields many pressed “volunteer” soldiers to compensate for its previous wartime losses.
The formation is supported by T-26, T-60 and T-70 light tanks, a few T-34/76, and even ISU-122 and brand-new ISU-122S tank destroyers.

The 358th Rifle Division is a well-rounded infantry division, with powerful artillery and tank destroyer support, but lacking a punch due to its weak tank forces and AA units.

* A Polish Battlefield

## Tactics

The Cowboy
Texans & Oklahomans (hence the letters 'T.O.' on their shoulder patch which led to the nickname 'Though Ombres') from 90th ID had the unhealhy habit in Normandy of always being present in the hottest places : elements from the division both stormed Utah Beach on D-Day, stormed the Merdered River, fought for Saint-Lô and still happened to be the one division closing the Falaise pocket with the Poles ! Of course, they paid such intense activity with one of the highest casualty rate among American divisions on the ETO.

This division is currently only playable in scenarios.
44-ya Gvard. Strelkovy

**44-ya Gvard. Strelkovy** is a Soviet Infantry division in *Steel Division II*. Part of the 65th Army which led the Bobryusk offensive, the 44th Guards Rifle Division was reinforced with a tank brigade from the 1st Guards Tank Corps before the start of operation Bagration.

As a result, this division fields an unusual combination of infantry division equipment with state-of-the-art T-34/85’s, which take up the place of the older tank models typically found in independent brigades. This formation can also count on the formidable support of a SU-152 heavy assault guns regiment, and a handful of SU-76 self-propelled guns.

The 44th Guards Rifle Division is close to a standard Soviet rifle division, avoiding some of the pitfalls of the more exotic formations, and making it a well-balanced choice to bring to the battlefield.

3-ya VDV

**3-ya VDV** is a Soviet Infantry division in *Steel Division II: Black Sunday*. The 3-ya VDV could count on battle-hardened ex-paratroopers to form the bulk of its force, as this special formation was made up of the disbanded 8th Airborne Corps. Performing no combat airdrop, this division did experience almost continuous fighting after its inception in 1942. As such, 3-ya VDV crossed the Romanian frontier in the summer of 1944 and successfully assaulted some of the most heavily defended Axis strongpoints.

A large part of the infantry found in the unique 3-ya VDV, including the Desantniki troops, features the Raider trait, allowing them to function without penalties behind enemy lines. Critical support to these elite soldiers is given by a SU-76 regiment, as well as assault engineers to clear any fortified position.

The 3-ya VDV is an experienced division, its veteran soldiers excelling on the battlefield as a quick and hard-hitting infantry force.

12. Tartalék

**12. Tartalék** is an Axis Infantry division in *Steel Division II*. An infantry formation in the process of being rebuilt and refitted after the Hungarian disaster at Stalingrad, the 12th Reserve Division was only supposed to be fighting lightly armed partisans.
Fate decided otherwise, and the Hungarian reserves were hurriedly moved to fill wide-open gaps in Army Group Center’s collapsing front.

With few armored vehicles, 12th Reserve Division most closely resembles a division from World War I, suited to fight in defense with lots of MG’s, well-prepared positions, and fielding sizable artillery support.
Foreign equipment fills its ranks, with vastly different origins; some are obsolete (Belgian guns and French tanks) while others can pack a punch (British 25-pounder guns and even German Pak 40’s).

The 12th Reserve Division requires skill and meticulous planning if it wants a fighting chance to win on the battlefield.

8th Indian Infantry

**8th Indian Infantry** is an Allied B-rated Infantry division in *Steel Division II*, available in the Tribute to the Liberation of Italy pack. The 8th Indian (Infantry) Division was raised in 1940 in the mountainous north of India and fielded British, Indian, and Nepalese (Gurkha) infantry. Known for its mountain warfare training, it was no surprise the formation was sent to the Italian front, where it acquitted itself well from 1943 onwards.

The battlegroup’s main features are its Indian and Gurkha troops, which deploy in larger squads with the Raider trait, but at the expense of handheld AT weapons. The renowned Gurkhas are considered fanatical and receive extra SMGs. Tank support is provided by elements from the Canadian 1st Armoured Brigade, fielding Sherman V, as well as a few Crusader Mk.2 SPAAG. Wings in the sky include the deadly Hurricane Mk.IV, with its twin 40mm AT guns.

The 8th Indian (Infantry) Division is a solid battlegroup that feels most comfortable in defensive situations.

2-ya Gvard. Tankovy Korpus

## 2-y Gv. Tankovy Korpus

**2-ya Gvard. Tankovy Korpus** is a Soviet Armored division in *Steel Division II*. Breaking through the German front at Orsha with the 11th Guards Army, 2nd Guards Tank Corps is the paragon of Soviet technology, having been almost entirely reequipped with brand new T-34/85 just for Bagration.

The handful of remaining older models (BA-10M or T-34/76) are relegated to recon roles.
Also well-doted in anti-tank and attached fire support (SU-76, ISU-152, …), its sole weakness lies with its anti-air defence, even with some lend-leased American AA halftracks or the Free French 'Normandie' squadron flying overhead.

Very strong in tanks and artillery, it is the Soviet sledgehammer.
