Meet The Marines

Marines are not just another infantry unit. They are shock troops, pathfinders, and silent reapers. Use them wisely: a well-timed Marine insertion can change the tide of battle, but misuse them and you’ll just feed the enemy’s artillery. Like the Marines that took Iwo Jima and Peleliu - they demand courage, timing, and the right amount of grit.

A crash course to Marines

These aren’t your polite line-infantry. Marines fight brutal, messy battles, rarely caring for their own safety once momentum is gained. To them, blood and steel win the day.

  • Bridge-heads & Offensives: Marines are built for aggression - swift, decisive, and unforgiving. Use them to seize river crossings, invade hostile shores or to hold urban choke points. They are equipped to handle unarmored and light-armored quick reaction forces.
  • Surprise Attacks: Think amphibious raids and quiet insertions from a blind angle, whatever catches your opponent off-guard. Being on the offense is their strength, surprise is their ally. Keep pushing in-lands once you’ve established their bridgehead!
  • Semper Fi: A Marine is only as good as his battle buddy fighting next to him. Make sure to land with numbers - grit can only compensate so much against overwhelming enemy defense. This will protect your Marine platoons against enemy air and artillery, their natural counter.

Unit Stats and Progression

Marines are deployed via Unit Cards and come with three different levels - getting stronger as the battlefield evolves around them.

  • Level 1
    • Day of Availability: 1
    • Basic combat-ready Marines - perfect for early aggression.

  • Level 2

    • Day of Availability: 3
    • Upgraded while embarked - faster movement and greater protection against hostile ships.

  • Level 3

    • Day of Availability: 6
    • Stealth across all land terrain types - ideal for surprise assaults, ambushes, and covert insertions behind enemy lines.
    • Battle-hardened Marines - their defensive stats now match their offensive prowess, letting them dig in and hold the bridgehead until reinforcements arrive.

Final Words

Keep an eye out on our upcoming Christmas Crates - the exclusive place to get your hands on Marines Unit Cards.

Prepare your expeditionary forces and sharpen your plans. When the time comes: strike hard, strike fast, and hold until reinforcements arrive. Victory loves the bold.

See you on the shorelines, Commander.
