Global War 1936-1945: Special Operations Forces

What is Global War 1936-1945: Special Operations Forces

After the ‘War to end all wars’, there came another war. And it was not as static as the first. Before and during World War 2 many nations and individuals invented or exploited new tactics and ideas, that even culminated in a range of specialist forces within the specialist forces. Marines and airborne infantry were known concepts, and often from within these groups of soldiers new tactical formations emerged to perform what we now call Special Operations.

HBG is proud to present the Special Operations Forces © Expansion. Special Operations Forces were small sized units not suitable for capturing land zones. Instead their small size and unique training made them specialists in raiding operations and sabotage. They were versatile in ways of damaging enemy supply lines, facilities, fighting partisans and even occasional assassinations of high profile enemy personalities as well as spearheading large scale amphibious attacks. This type of warfare often meant certain death if caught.

This expansion enables you to take control of your nation’s special forces, often entering at the historical date of formation, and maneuver them behind enemy lines to wreak havoc or pave the way for your troops on the front. But remember, the risky nature of the operations can have them eliminated before they can fullfill their mission. It is time; “Nunc aut nunquam!”
