Hello!

Get ready. We also like our surprise attacks, commanders. In today’s DevBlog, we have opened a brand-new Nemesis vote, specifically the Nemesis #8 - Second Chance!

Who, what, where? Keep reading for all the juicy details and the vote link further below.

[h3]A new Nemesis vote[/h3]
First up: what’s happening? Ever since Steel Division 2, our World War II game in which we introduced the Nemesis concept, we have held a “runners-up” vote for those battlegroups that fell by the wayside in previous voting.

After three Nemesis rounds, we would have three pairs of divisions set to appear in the game. That means that six pairs would not have made the cut. The run-off vote would allow the community to save one of the previous pairs.



In WARNO, we will not do it in the same way. This time, we’ll open the vote to all individual divisions, regardless of their previous pairing. You will be able to vote on a single division - one for NATO, one for Warsaw Pact - you liked best among the divisions that didn’t make it.

In total, we will have 9 divisions for you to choose from. Some options have been selected to appear in WARNO through other means, ‌being WARNO - LANDJUT.

[h3]Nemesis #8 - Second Chance[/h3]
The lucky winner for each alliance might be a different pair than the one we originally proposed. Why did we create this new approach for today’s Nemesis #8 - Second Chance vote?

We wanted to decouple each pairing and eliminate the complaints that a particular battlegroup didn’t win because of its “lesser” pairing. With this new way, you’ll get to choose, within each alliance, one division which should be in the game as Nemesis #8 - Second Chance. This means more flexibility and freedom of choice!



Now, let’s show you the whole roster of all divisions, both NATO and Warsaw Pact, you can vote for in Nemesis #8.

[h3]The Nemesis #8 - Divisions[/h3]
The vote is made up of two parts: one division for NATO, one for the Warsaw Pact.

[h2]NATO[/h2]

The West German12. Panzerdivision (with substantial American support). Shown first in Nemesis #2.1 - Hof Corridor, this CENTAG battlegroup acts as the Bundeswehr’s missing link between a mechanized infantry and an armored division. Read more about this offering here.


The British Support Command. Part of Nemesis #2.2 - Second Wave, this battlegroup encompasses all British second-echelon units not under the I (BR) Corps in NORTHAG. Refresh your memory of this battlegroup here.


The Dutch Beveiligende Strijdmacht (with American and West German support). Located in NORTHAG, this division close to the forward battle zone was presented in Nemesis #4.1 - Covering Force Area. Read more about this proposal here.


The French 27e Division d'infanterie Alpine (plus some Spanish support). These mountaineer forces were presented in Nemesis #6.1 - The Mountaineers. Check out all the details in this DevBlog here.


The West German VfgTrpKdo 42. Wonderfully named, this new training formation would feature the new Instructor-class of units, as presented in Nemesis #6.3 - School’s Out!. Catch up on the details in this deep-dive here.

[h2]Warsaw Pact[/h2]

The Soviet PTRez (with some East German forces). This anti-tank reserve force was put forward in Nemesis #2.1 - The Hof Corridor. Check out the details here.


The Soviet 34-ya Tankovaya Diviziya. Presented in Nemesis #2.3 - Second Wave, this second-echelon T-62 armored mobilization division can be checked out in detail here.


The Polish 5 Podhalańska Brygada WOWew (with Soviet support). This communist mountaineer reserve formation was put forward in Nemesis #6.1 - The Mountaineers. Update yourself with the proposal here.


The Soviet 71-ya Tankovaya Diviziya. As seen in Nemesis #6.3 - School’s Out!, this second-echelon armored formation also features units with the new Instructors trait. Check out what we put forward here.

[h3]The Nemesis #8 Vote is Now Open![/h3]
Now to the vote itself. You can vote multiple times, but only your LAST vote will be taken into account! As mentioned before, you can chose one NATO division and one Warsaw Pact division, regardless of pairing. Be respectful of the vote, the Eugen development team, and your fellow players. As always: no cheating, bullying, spamming, or insults will be tolerated!

Vote now

Voting will close on Wednesday, March 11th at 12:00 (CEST) / 11:00 AM (BST) / 6 AM (EDT). We will publish the results on Thursday, the 12th of March.

As is tradition, WARNO’s community (meaning you) has and will be putting a lot of effort into swaying the vote toward one of the three options above. Be sure to check them out - but do so at your own peril. Nemesis #8 propaganda battles will be as ferocious and wily as ever before, and continue until the very last day of the vote!

[h2]LANDJUT in brief[/h2]
In case you missed it: next to this Nemesis vote, we are also working on a new major expansion for WARNO: WARNO - LANDJUT. This expansion will bring 8 new Divisions to WARNO, playable in Skirmish and Multiplayer, with one brand-new nation, Denmark. This means a host of new weapons, units, vehicles, and battlegroups in a Tribute-style DLC, but no new Operations or Army General campaigns.

[h3]This patch includes some important fixes:[/h3]

[h3]Code fixes[/h3]

• Fixed a crash related to the use of a country flag
  
• Fixed a crash when launching Army General on Elite difficulty
  

Hello commanders!

We are back with the last of our WARNO - LANDJUT reveals, shining today’s spotlight on the second Danish battlegroup: Østre Landsdelskommand, or the Eastern Territorial Command.

Let’s go!

[h3]The Østre Landsdelskommando Detailed[/h3]
The Østre Landsdelskommand would only be activated during times of war, encompassing all units earmarked for the defense of the Danish Isles, specifically Zealand (home to Copenhagen).



The Danish Hjemmeværnet (HJV), or Home Guard, plays an important role in this battlegroup. Founded in March 1945, even before the end of World War II, by members of the Danish resistance, it swore to protect Denmark against “foreign and domestic” threats. This is a historical detail, as this refers to the Danish Army of 1940 opposing the German invasion for less than 6 hours before surrendering (and Denmark later featuring a collaborationist government).

During the Cold War, the Danes regarded the Army with a certain level of suspicion, but enlisted in large numbers in the Home Guard, a reserve force that trained in basic guerrilla warfare should the country ever be invaded again. This meant that in the late 1980s, Denmark had a small regular army, backed by a surprisingly large and strong Home Guard, which was well-motivated and trained.

The formations part of this strategic command included:

• Two independent mechanized "Zealand Brigades", each with one tank battalion, two mechanized infantry battalions, one armored artillery battalion, and a motorized infantry battalion.
  
• Four independent motorized infantry "Zealand Battlegroups", each with two motorized infantry battalions, one towed artillery battalion, and one anti-tank squadron.
  
• A further three independent artillery battalions.
  
• Local Hjemmeværnet (Danish Home Guard) units.
  
• And we have added the independent Bornholms garrison which, although administratively attached to the Østre Landsdelskommand, was in real-life intended to fight (and most likely die) alone on the most eastern of Danish islands, Bornholm. This small, isolated body of land, strategically located in the Baltic Sea, would have been the first target of the joint Polish-Soviet amphibious assault. The garrison, which included three infantry battalions, two armored squadrons, and one artillery battalion, used the light M41-DK tank not in a recon role, but as an actual “tank”.

[h3]The Østre Landsdelskommando in WARNO[/h3]
How will the Østre Landsdelskommando look like in WARNO - LANDJUT? New units are both italic and bolded. The following is still work in progress and subject to change.

LOG

• A pretty good category with Command units being the LARO KOMMANDO and M113A1 KSN.
  
• Supply units include an FOB, BEDFORD MJ2P and MD JUPITER trucks, as well as a Danish Navy S-61A supply helicopter.

INF
Once again, a pretty good category.

• Danish motorized infantry will be the most numerous type of infantry for this division. Jyske Division’s INFANTERI (PNÆV) squads are featured side-by-side with the INFANTERIFØRER command variant (4-strong with 4x Hovea SMG, LAW and Smoke grenades) and INFANTERI, with 3x Hovea, 4x Garand rifles , 1x MG m/62, and a Carl Gustav recoilless rifle. These squads only come in softskin vehicles.

• The Danish Royal Guards, protecting the palace and Danish royal family residing in Copenhagen, are also represented with a single card of LIVGARDEN, featuring the Resolute trait. They also deploy in trucks.
  
• The same PANTSERINFANTERIE, both vanilla and command squads, as found with the Jyske Division, including transport options, but in much lower numbers.
  
• Likewise, the combat engineers from the Jyske Division, the INGENIØRERFØRER and INGENIØRER, as well as the same transports they can deploy, will also make an appearance.
  
• Support weapon teams include the M/87 I-TOW, MG M/62 7,62mm, TMG M/50 12,7mm, and MILITÆRPOLITI military police, as well as the M38A1 M/56 106mm jeep (which is a M40A1 RCL).
  
• The new Hjemmeværnet brings the following Home Guard units, all coming with the Reservist trait.
  
  • HJV FØRER: a 12-man squad with 2x M/37 SMG (Husqvarna m/37), 9x Garand, 1x MG m/62, and a M20 Super Bazooka, plus the Leader trait.
    
  • HJV: another 12-man squad but this one with 8x Gv m/75 (G3 battle rifles), 1x Gv m/66 (a scoped G3), 1x MG m/62, and LAW.
    
  • HJV RESERVISTER: a 12-man reserve squad with 2x Hovea SMG, 6x Garand, 1x MG m/62, and M20 Super Bazooka, plus the Security and Militia traits. They represent the older members of the Home Guard called up for duty.
    
  • HJV INGENIØR: an 8-man combat engineer squad with 1x Hovea, 7x Garand, M20 Super Bazooka, and Satchel charges, as well as the Shock trait.
    
  • HJV DYKN M/56: which is a M40A1 RCL weapons team.
• Lastly, the Danish Navy’s special forces, the FRØMÆND are also featured as a 6-man frogmen squad with 6x MP-5SD, Carl Gustav, and Satchel charges, including the Special Forces and Shock traits. They come in softskin vehicles or the LYNX MK.80 helicopter.

ART
An average category.

• Mortars come in the form of MORTER M/57 81mm (the American M29 in Danish service) and the MORTER M/50 120mm (older French Brandt model), as well as a few self-propelled M125.
  
• Towed artillery include HAUBITS M/50 105mm (the M101), KANON M/52 155mm (a Long Tom in Danish service), HAUBITS M/51 155mm (the M114) and HAUBITS M/55 203m (the M115).
  
• The only self-propelled howitzers are a few cards of the M109A3.

TANK
An average category.

• The tanks from the attached mechanized brigade, and the tank destroyers from the motorized ones, were all of the same kind: early-generation Centurions.
  
• The “tanks” are the modernized CENTURION MK.V/2 DK (in regular and command variants), upgunned to 105mm and close in performance to the Dutch Centurion Mk.5/2.

• As a “tank destroyer”, the older CENTURION MK.V (vanilla and command), armed with the 20-pdr gun, can be deployed. This is the same one as the Jyske Division.
  
• These are aided in their tank destroying role by the LARO M/87 and M113 TOW-2.
  
• The Bornholms garrison could muster two companies of M41-DK1, one in the traditional recon role, the other featured here as a light tank.
  
• The Home Guard did not deploy any armored vehicles, though it retained a dozen or so M10c Achilles tank destroyers from World War II. These are used as mobile pillboxes to protect key bridges, and represented in WARNO as HJV M/10, with a 17-pdr gun and the Reservist trait.

REC
Not one of the best categories.

• Most of the recon units are on foot:
  
  • A few SPEJDERE, SPEJDERE (DYNK), and PANSERSPEJDERE, as found in the Jyske Division, with the same transport options.
    
  • The 6-strong HJV SPEJDERE with 2x Hovea, 3x Garand, 1x m/66, and LAW, riding in BEDFORD M2JP.
    
  • The airborne SPE/ELK squad, being 4-strong with 2x Gv m/65, 2x Gv m/66, Redeye MANPAD, and Smoke grenades. They come with the Special Forces, Airborne, and GSR trait.
• The Danish Navy’s S-61A radar recon helicopter.
  
• And the M41-DK1 light recon tank.

AA
A very good category.

• In the Østre Landsdelskommando, much like Jyske Division, close air defense is provided by LRKT HAMLET (Redeye) MANPAD teams. Since the Danish Navy was already using a few Stingers - ahead of the Army - we’ve added a card of LRKT STINGER, with the Resolute trait.
  
• Anti-air guns are predominantly of an older type, such as the FIRLING 12,7mm (M55 quad 12,7mm) and the LVK M/60 40mm (Bofors). The former also come mounted on a truck as the BEDFORD FIRLING 12,7mm.
  
• The classic I-HAWK can also be deployed.

HEL
Rather dismal, as not a single helicopter will be available!

AIR
A very good category.

• As all the Danish F-16s have been allocated to the Jyske Division, and over Jutland as a whole, what remains of the Flyvevåbnet or Royal Danish Air Force’s inventory will be the iconic (Swedish-made) F 35 WDNS.
  They come in various loadouts:
  
  • The F 35 WDNS [AA] as a cheap air superiority fighter with guns and 2x AIM-9N.
• Strike fighters come as:
  
  • F 35 WDNS [RKT] as found with the Jyske Division.
    
  • F 35 WDNS [CLU] with 6x Rockeye cluster bombs and 2x AIM-9N.
    
  • F 35 WDNS [HE/CLU] with 4x Rockeye cluster and 4x Mk.82 227kg HE bombs.
    
  • F 35 WDNS [HE] with 4x Mk.83 454kg HE bombs and 2x AIM-9N.
• On top of that, the U.S. Marine Corps is in the vicinity and will provide additional air cover with:
  
  • F/A-18A [AA1] with Vulcan, 4x AIM-7P and 2x AIM-9M.
    
  • F/A-18A [AA2] with Vulcan, 2x AIM-7M and 6x AIM-9M.
    
  • F/A-18A [SEAD] with Vulcan, 2x AIM-7M, 2x AIM-9M and 2x AGM-88 HARM.

The Østre Landsdelskommando is a capable reservist division with the usual slew of older equipment, but well-trained and highly motivated Home Guard soldiers to man them. Air support is powerful.

[h2]LANDJUT in brief[/h2]
The WARNO - LANDJUT expansion will bring 8 new Divisions to WARNO, playable in Skirmish and Multiplayer, with one brand-new nation, Denmark. This means a host of new weapons, units, vehicles, and battlegroups in a Tribute-style DLC, but no new Operations or Army General campaigns.

Hello commanders!

Get ready to deploy to the WARNO battlegrounds. WARNO’s latest mini-expansion Nemesis #6 - The Magdeburg Counterstrike is available now.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4341720/WARNO__Nemesis_6__The_Magdeburg_Counterstrike/

[h3]Nemesis #6 - The Magdeburg Counterstrike[/h3]
World War III engulfs Europe. The first few days of high-intensity combat have drained stocks of munitions and supplies, with many formations of both NATO and the Warsaw Pact decimated after the grueling fight. Both sides rush to deploy reinforcements to the European battlefield, including critical cross-ocean REFORGER units and second-echelon battlegroups deep from the USSR’s interior.



An opportunity presents itself for NATO to take the fight to the enemy in northern East Germany, around Magdeburg. Communist military commanders see the danger and hastily deploy whatever force they can muster.

Nemesis - The Magdeburg Counterstrike brings two new “premier” divisions, featuring new units, vehicles, and weapons.



NATO’s U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, with its allied British armor, advances against the anti-tank forces of the Warsaw Pact’s Soviet 1-ya Gvardeyskaya Proletarskaya Motostrelkovaya Diviziya or the 1st Guards Proletarian Motorized Infantry Division.



An arsenal of new units will be available to command, from M2 BRADLEY IFVs, up-armored M1 MOD main battle tanks and the YCQM-121A PAVE TIGER drone, to T-72AV tanks, PERO UAVs, and MiG-25PD interceptors.



[h2]LANDJUT in brief[/h2]
Next to Nemesis #6 - The Magdeburg Counterstrike, we are also busy previewing the upcoming major expansion, WARNO - LANDJUT. It will bring 8 new Divisions to WARNO, playable in Skirmish and Multiplayer, with one brand-new nation, Denmark.
