Before you start the battle , you can choose which doctrine you gonna use , they are :
+ All-round : A mix-mashed of okish unit cramped into one battlegroup , no real weakness . Special Call-in is always the Artillery Signaler regardless of what scenario you choose .
+ Defensive : Centered around support weapon / artillery / infantry . This doctrine let you call in field engineer who can help you with holding the ground . Special Call-in is long range artillery .
+ Offensive : Gain access to more advance vehicles to spearhead the assault . Special call-in is tank / assault gun .
+ Irregular : A weird doctrine that house some of the best unit a nation can offer , flamer is also available for those with inner arsonist . Special call-in is heavy flak gun regardless of what scenario you choose .
1-1 BATTLE OF MOSCOW - GENERAL CALL-IN :
All doctrine share the same starting unit call-ins , there are some extra unit available to specific doctrines though and won't be included in here .
Infantry :
: Take good care of this guy . Medic can revive infantry in bleeding state if he can get to them fast . Medic have smoke grenade to block line of sight and a pistol which you should replace it with a riffle or something . He also have tent kit which let him set up Medical Tent which will re-supply your soldier with medical bandage .
: A group of 4 tank-men ready to commandeer any tank and vehicle you managed to captured and repair . While normal infantry can do the same thing but infantry have better fighting capability so leave the driving to the real driver .
: 2-man AT squad is German professional tank hunters , half of them actually . One guy use panzerbüchse 39 AT Rifle which can't penetrate anything . The other guy however is a Rifle Grenadier who can launch both HE and HEAT round over a long distance . HEAT rounds in particular will disable light vehicle and light tank . Remember to loot his gun if he die .
: Sniper have great vision and can sneak around while taking out infantries at long range . With some lucks and micro you can even take the entire point .
: An angry Leutnant with a binocular , his job is take a peek into the fog of war with his binoc to see what lie ahead . He can spot infantries hiding in the bushes . Useless if you disable Fog of War .
: Early war German infantry is 10-man average squad who can do many things but not particular shine in one role . Better replace them once elite infantry is available .
Support Weapon :
: A small ammo crate come with 2 artillerymen . Useful for re-supplying small firearms or support weapons . The 2 artillerymen are free to control any captured piece of support weapon .
: MG 34 is the only heavy MG available to German . Unlike the Soviet counterpart , MG 34 need to have both gunners in order to move around .
Light Vehicle :
: Refuel your Panzer with this truck .
: Re-supply your big guns with this truck .
: 221 is an armored scout car with excellent vision provided by its turret , even longer than that of recon squad ! Also come with an interesting perk of being wheeled vehicle mean it won't be stopped even if AT gun went for the wheel . Perfect for getting away . Sadly 221 only have MG .
1-2 BATTLE OF MOSCOW - ALL-ROUND :
Special Call-in :
: Widely hated in multiplayer for theirs ability to shake the screen and causing a real headache . He carries a flare gun and 10 flare ammo to call down light artillery barrage which will obliterate infantry and support weapon in wide area . Use him behind cover and hill as his flare gun only have range of 70 m . In case of the signaler die , loot his flare gun and ammo , any infantry can call down the barrage . DO NOT combine flare ammo if you call in another Signaler ! Limit to 5 .
Starting Support Weapon :
: Light AT gun only good vs armored car / half tracked / light tank . Out-ranged by most gun , even Soviet 45mm . Have unusual good accuracy so you can snipe infantry with its AP round .
Starting Light Vehicle :
: Armored scout car which have same excellent vision as the 221 but added bonus of not being blinded to everything around them . Both its 2cm and MG will quickly mow down any unfortunate infantry caught in the open field . Care should be taken of not over-repair its wheel since it have 8 of them and driver love to waste repair box on those . Even if one wheel is taken out , the car mobility is pretty much unaffected .
Starting Tank :
: To circumvent the Treaty of Versailles , the German created .....this . Panzer 1B slow to accelerate and have thin armor but its dual MG-13 quickly fill infantry full of hole and keep them down in the trench . Still not a good buy compare to scout car .
: Faster than Panzer 1 .Its 2cm and MG is strictly for dealing with armored car and some of the light tank . Only good during early stage when accompanying with infantry to tackle first few CPs . Paper armor .
Infantry CP unlocks :

: Also known as Mountain troopers . 10-man elite squad with high HP , 5-stars weapon handling and a stylish smoke pipe . Think of them like as upgraded basic infantry .
: 12-man assault squad . Very versatile . They have a crap ton of grenade and TNT , one member have AT rifle and the other have flamethrower . For utility they have wire cutter to destroy barred wire and mine detector for mine sweeping duty , not that you gonna find any mine in skirmish .
Support Weapon CP unlocks :
: If you think enemy infantries are harassing you along with scout car , you get this gun . flak 2cm is small and easy to hide . Supposedly can shoot down aircraft but i haven't seen they do that .
: Medium mortar is very disappointing in Gate of Hell , they are very inaccuracy . The trick is to buy 3 of them and hope one shell land where you want .
: Trusty medium AT gun which can keep most light tank at bay . As for T-34/76 , it can penetrate the turret or set the engine on fire if have side shot . Out-ranged by Soviet 76mm .

Heavy Tank CP unlocks :
: Panzer 4 with a short barreled 7.5 cm for infantry support . Normally KV-1 and T-34/76 laugh at this gun but Pz4 have a secret weapon in the form of HEAT round which will crack those cheeky T-34/76 frontally . KV-1 though still have go for side or rear armor . Noted : you have to manually load HEAT .

: Self-propelled gun carries a derp gun , namely the 10.5 L/28 . It may be smaller than the old 15cm infantry gun , but will still bring down building , turn group of infantry into paste and stun enemy tanks , if not outright destroy it . Fire in straight line . Carry APHE and HEAT rounds for anti tank duty .

: Heavy tank destroyer armed with King Tiger 's 88 gun . Its heavily slopped armor will bounce many AT shells . It is said that IS-2 's 122mm gun may have a chance to penetrate Jadgpanther , but IS-2 's turret will be blown up long before it got a chance to shoot at Jadgpanther .
Heavy Artillery CP unlocks :
: Light field howitzer with abysmal blast area and shorter range than most arty , theirs only saving grace is having the fastest reload of all long range artillery .

4-3 DOWNFALL - DEFENSIVE :
Special Call-in :
: Expensive to call-in right at the start ( 700 MP ) , it is a light howitzer with abysmal range and blast area but having the fastest reload of all artillery . Better save up MP and buy all . Limit to 3 .
Starting Support Weapon :
: The tiniest AT gun one can field . Despite its name , 2.8 can't harm any tank . Use it to snipe infantry with AP round .
: Light anti-air for engaging infantry and scout car . Haven't seen it down any plane .
: Medium mortar is very disappointing in Gate of Hell , they are very inaccuracy . The trick is to buy 3 of them and hope one shell land where you want .
: Bigger medium AT gun capable of defeating T-34 tanks and even put a dent on heavy tank .
Starting Light Vehicle :
: An Opel truck come with 2 field engineers whose task is to build defensive structures like large foxhole , tank trap , etc or demolish obstacles with TNT . Inside the truck you will find anti-personnel / anti-tank mine , tools and TNT . The truck will re-supply engineers 's tools if he happens to use them , also vehicle 's repair box . Currently the supply gauge is bugged and WILL NOT accumulate unlike supply truck .
Infantry CP unlocks :
: 6-man squad with low HP but excellent vision , carry an LMG for extra fire support . A must to call in with Fog of war enabled .
: 12-man assault squad who bring crap ton of grenade and TNT . For the final fight they got themselves a Panzershrek AT launcher with 7 warheads , and of course they haven't let go of theirs flamethrower , don't know why.
: 11-chad squad have returned to fight one last time . They have high HP plus 6-star weapon handling and are armed with best equipment Germany can offer . Noticeably the leader assistant carry FG-42 , despite being a LMG , is in fact being treated as assault riffle because there is no accuracy drop with rapid fire , totally broken ! The two LMG42 using the box ammo which let them hold 250 rounds before having to reload . For armor threats they have 2 rifle grenadiers who can launch HE and HEAT round over a distance along with 2 panzerfaust . Oh and of course a real sniper in the squad too , you can't break what already broken .
Support Weapon CP unlocks :
: Infantry Gun is totally bonker and OP , they fire in an arc so nothing can retaliate except for mortar , they also have deadly accuracy to the point you can snipe infantry hiding in the trench . German IG gun took a step further by issuing them with HEAT round to eliminate light vehicles , light tanks and even medium tanks .
: Get rid of infantry , destroy light tank and stun medium . Flak 37 is indispensable when fortifying your position .
: Captured Soviet 12cm heavy mortar deliver payload similar to that of a medium artillery but double the rate of fire . Out-range medium mortar . Only have HE shells .
Medium Tank CP unlocks :
: Fast armored car with improved 5cm ready to pounce on unsuspecting Soviet Light tank and truck . Need to flank when facing bigger threat assuming you have enough room to move around .
: The final upgrade for the vaunted Panzer 3 . Shift role to infantry support with the short-barreled 7.5cm . Have HEAT round for emergency use but avoid tank engagement .
: Stug 3 Ausf G with armor skirt for better survivability . Another new feature is the anti-aircraft MG being able to fire without someone actually manning it ( no more accidental commander death ) . Main role is anti-tank , always have something to support its flank .
Heavy Tank CP unlocks :
: The final attempt to mount the 15cm heavy infantry gun onto a tank . Sturmpanzer 4 is quite durable and its gun have good accuracy . Will stun tanks or outright destroy them , not bad for a mini sturmtiger .
: Panther tank have good sloped frontal armor and its 7.5cm have more penetration power than the Tiger 1 main gun . However IS-2 's 122mm and anything resembling the 100mm BS-3 will go through its . God forbid if they got Panther 's side armor but that goes for every tanks really .
Heavy Artillery CP unlocks :
: This rocket artillery lob five 21cm rockets to cause destruction over wide area.
: Newer version of 88 Flak , supposedly have better gun shield but that does not matter . Your go to cannon when you want to get rid every Soviet tanks you encounter . Come with a free Sd Kfz 10 half-track for moving around quickly .
: German standard heavy artillery with 430 range , they only have HE round .
Special CP unlocks :
: 200mm of armor and better 88 cannon....What can Soviet hope to penetrate it frontally ? Even the ISU-152 can only stun it at best . Elefant , Ferdinand , it doesn't matter , to the enemy it is simply death .
4-4 DOWNFALL - OFFENSIVE :
Special Call in :
: Stug 3 Ausf G with armor skirt for better protection against HEAT and a slightly better 7.5cm . Good at tackling medium tanks but can also use HE shell to demolish obstacles and infantries . Limit to 3 .
Starting Light Vehicles :
: 5 pioneers riding a 251 Half-track , these pioneer can build defensive structure like large foxhole , tank trap , etc , or plant mine . Unfortunately the half-track can't re-supply theirs tools .
: Up gunned 221 , have 2cm in addition to MG , retain the excellent vision of 221 .
Starting Tanks :
: Panzer 1F is a thing of extreme . It is very slow but it have ton of armor that can withstand most Soviet medium AT gun at point blank , its main weapon is a dual MG-34 which can rain a lot of lead but only good vs infantry . Use it as some sort of mobile bunker .
: Have same 7.5 cm L/46 just like Marder 2 but different gun placement . Will cut through T-34 like Swiss cheese but its own armor also made out cheese .
Infantry CP unlocks :
: 6-man squad with low HP but excellent vision , carry an LMG for extra fire support . A must to call in with Fog of war enabled .
: Panzergrenadier are 9-man squad with questionable performance , stat wise they are identical to grenadier squad but lose 1 man in favor of carrying an extra LMG42 . Can potentially pump out a lot suppressive fire . Carry 3 Panzerfaust for faust the panzer .
: 12-man assault squad , they bring crap ton of grenade and explosive , also a flamethrower for extra crispy but beware of friendly fire .
Support Weapon CP unlocks :
: A half-track carrying 2cm light AA gun . Good against infantry and scout car but large profile mean high chance of getting hit by AT round .
: A half-track carrying 5cm for anti tank duty . Quite ineffective due to Soviet tanks now have heavier armor , plus Marder 3 existed . No buy .
: A 251 kick out all of passenger in order to make room for a medium mortar . Have problem of both . Half track can't pivot in place and 8cm is a bad mortar . But a mobile mortar still have its place .
: 3.7 cm medium mounted on a fast half-track . Unable to target anything in front of the half-track so you have to position it right , so back toward enemy i guess ? Will beat infantry and light tank , also stun medium tank .
Medium Tank CP unlocks :
: Hetzer is a bit underused and underrated in skirmish tbh , it have the same gun just like your starting Stug 3G and quickly replaced by bigger gun on bigger tank . However , if you are on a budget cus your infantry dying left and right leaving you only a few MP to buy tank , a Hetzer just may save the day due to the gun can easily cut through T-34/85s which are quite numerous and its small size plus slopped frontal armor give it some surprise bounce from 85 mm cannon . The best feature is its Anti-Aircraft MG can turn 360 degree without having to turn the tank itself , nor someone have to man it , neat !
: Panzer 4 with armor skirt and improved version of 7.5 cm keeping this tank in the arm race against T-34 /85 . Use it to accompany with infantry in case you don't want to risk your heavier assets in urban setting .
Heavy Tank CP unlocks :
: Panther G have better frontal armor than the D version but weaker side , also have some sort of weird paint coat that can deter magnetic mine AT grenade but those are nowhere to be found . The 7.5 L/70 have more punching power than Tiger 1 's 88 . Be on the look out for IS-2 , SU-100 and ISU-152 . The commander hatch now have a MG for self-defense vs infantry but that just mean he gonna be taken out by one or untimely mortar strike .
: Late war Tiger 1 tank , better protection overall with a new Zimmerit paste coat , also come with a pintle-mounted MG on commander hatch to mow down Soviet Infantry if they get a bit too close for comfort . While Soviet may have fielded more Heavy tanks but generally the Tiger will come out on top due to having more range and accuracy , something that Soviet heavy tanks lack . The only gun that may have chance to penetrate Tiger is the 100 mm cannon or some cheeky 300 mm rockets falling from the sky .
Heavy Artillery unlocks :
: Bigger medium AT gun capable of defeating T-34 tanks and even put a dent on heavy tank .
: This rocket artillery lob five 21cm rockets to cause destruction over wide area.
: Light field howitzer with abysmal blast area and shorter range than most arty , theirs only saving grace is having the fastest reload of all long range artillery .
Special CP unlocks :
: Look at this sexy tank , 182mm of armor and an even longer 88 KwK cannon that is overkill to pretty much everything . What more can you ask ? King Tiger is certainly strong , but by no mean no further aid is needed . 100 mm BS-3 have a chance to pen its turret , Soviet AT squad ambush in urban environment but the thing you have to watch out for is the BM-31 rocket truck with 300mm rocket which will obliterate the Tiger 2 . Word can not describe how much people hate rocket truck in Multiplayer .
4-5 DOWNFALL - IRREGULAR :
Special Call-in :
: The most expensive call-in at start of all scenario at a whopping 850 MP . It is a Flak 88 with new gun shield and is a menace to all Soviet tank . Out-range pretty much most AT gun you encounter early stage . Come with a Sd Kfz Half-track for moving it around quickly , limit to 3 .
Starting Infantry :
: While no one use them in multiplayer , Flamer is a tab bit useful in skirmishes . They spew fire in an arc so they can assault trench or high ground position . Fire also burn down bushes and house , killing everyone inside . If flamers managed to get close to a tracked tank they can destroy even the heaviest of tank by burning the engine compartment .
Starting Light Vehicle :
: Cute tiny remote control vehicle just want to snuggle Soviet before giving them a welcome worth of 100 kg of TNT and leaving a mushroom cloud behind . Unlike Men of War Assault Squad 2 , A.I infantry does not use gun to target it , instead they use all manner of AT weapon , be it AT round from AT gun or AT nade and AT launcher , no one think about using HE round ! The only thing that may have a chance to hit it is the AT riffle and AA gun . To use it more effectively , enter direct control mode and left click anywhere near it to detonate . Even better , screening it with smoke grenade or smoke mortar shell .
ATTENTION : DON'T TRY TO CHAIN-EXPLODING GOLIATHS , OR DETONATE NEAR SUPPORT WEAPONS . GAME WILL FREEZE AND CRASH .
; Up gunned 221 , have 2cm in addition to MG , retain the excellent vision of 221 .

: Jager is 10-man squad with acceptable HP and 4-star weapon handling . Mostly armed with SMG for close range combat , come with 2 panzerfaust .
: 10-man Spec Op with acceptable HP and 5-star weapon handling . They bring quite a lot AT nade , especially the sticky AT nade . If the nade fail they still have 4 panzerfaust . Among them is a field engineer who can construct defensive structures like large foxhole , tanktrap , etc .
Support Weapon CP unlocks :
: Medium mortar is very disappointing in Gate of Hell , they are very inaccuracy . The trick is to buy 3 of them and hope one shell land where you want .
: Medium AT gun which can keep most light tank at bay . As for T-34/76 , it can penetrate the turret or set the engine on fire if have side shot . Out-ranged by Soviet 76mm . Less useful due to the high amount of T-34/85 and IS tanks Soviet field .
: Mountain gun for supporting infantry , work exactly like normal infantry gun ( firing in an arc, exceptional accuracy , etc ) . Have both HE and HEAT round .
: Get rid of infantry , destroy light tank and stun medium . Flak 37 is indispensable when fortifying your position .
Medium Tank CP unlocks :
: Also known as Luch , Same vision as 221 scout car while having smaller profile than 231 made this tank a great scout to peek into the fog of war and retreat if thing go south . 2 cm and MG only good for infantry and truck .
: Someone told Han to get a flammenwerfer , he instead got a panzer with one . Panzer 3 Ausf M replaced its main gun with a 14mm heavy flamethrower . Deadly to infantry and building but can't do anything to tank unless said tank happened to be tracked so feel free to burn theirs engine . Shorter range than AT launcher so beware of some sneaky tank buster gits .
: Hetzer have same improved 7.5cm just like the one in Stug Ausf G giving it better punching power compare to Marder 2 . It small size and sloped frontal armor will give some surprise bounces , even from 85 mm . The best feature is its Anti-Aircraft MG can turn 360 degree without having to turn the tank itself , nor someone have to man it , neat !
Heavy Tank CP unlocks :
: Mass-produced version of Ausf G , exactly the same tank with the same gun and same armor , but a bit slower than the G version . Use this tank if you don't want to risk your heavier assets in the urban environment .
: This is it , the last of Tiger 1 , operated by ace crews at veterancy 8 . Get everything done faster than normal Tiger . No longer have elite sturmpioneer to support it . And the best thing is you can buy it infinitely :P , Where and how do they get all those ace tankmen ??? On a side note , beware of 300mm rocket from the sky .
Heavy Artillery CP unlocks :
: Bigger medium AT gun capable of defeating T-34 tanks and even put a dent on heavy tank .
: Light field howitzer with abysmal blast area and shorter range than most arty , theirs only saving grace is having the fastest reload of all long range artillery .
: This is heavy infantry gun , not artillery , it have similar firing arc just like its smaller cousin but have longer range . Main job is to demolish obstacles , medium tanks and heavy tanks are on the list of valid target too .
Special CP unlocks :
: We all hate those BM-31 rocket truck , so guess what ? Fight fire with fire ! Preferably something of similar caliber . Nebelwerfer 42 launch 6 rockets at a time , each of these 300mm rocket contain mini nuke and will head to any direction of your choosing . Auf Wiedersehen !
