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.

Hello commanders!

We hope you are well. In today’s DevBlog, we take a look at another new WARNO - LANDJUT division (and the final Warsaw Pact one): the Polish 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana or 15th Mechanized Infantry Division.

Let’s go!

[h3]The Polish 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana[/h3]
We already briefly mentioned the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana in our write-up for WARNO - NORTHAG’s Grupa Desantowa. To recap: this mechanized infantry division was to form the third component of the Polish “assault corps,” tasked with taking the Danish Isles. It would act as a follow-up wave behind the 6 Brygada Powietrznodesantowa, or 6th Airborne Brigade, and the 7 Brygadę Desantowa, or 7th Sea Landing Brigade.

While the Grupa Desantowa was tailored to storm the Danish Zealand, with the two elite brigades performing a combined strike from the air and the sea, with the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana ferried to hostile NATO shores to “mop up” any remaining opposition.



Unlike the two brigades of the assault corps, which were the pride of the Polish People’s Army, the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana was a mobilization division. Kept at reduced strength during peacetime, the mechanized infantry division would see an influx of reservists during conflict, tasked with manning mostly older equipment dragged out of storage.

[h3]The Polish 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana Further Detailed[/h3]



The formation’s history is uneventful: it was first formed as an infantry division in 1954 in Warsaw, then reshuffled, downgraded to a mobilization division, and ultimately assigned in the late 1960s to support the Polish landings aimed at Denmark. As such, it was transferred to the Pomeranian Military District in 1975 and bolstered in terms of equipment and personnel (though it was still manned by reservists).

Two independent units were potentially earmarked to support the division:

• The Polish People’s Army 24 Brygada Moździerzy, or 24th Mortar Brigade, which was - as could be guessed - an artillery unit. Likewise, a mobilization formation would bring to bear an arsenal of older but big guns.
  
• The Nationale Volksarmee Küstenverteidigungsregiment 18, or Coastal Defense Regiment 18. This was the closest the East Germans had to “marines”. While originally lent to be under the control of the Volksmarine, to be trained in landing operations in support of Warsaw Pact comrades against Denmark, in 1988 the formation was officially transferred from the army to the East German navy, with a new regiment taking its place within the 20. Motorisierte Schützendivision (as featured in WARNO’s Army General campaign “Six Days to the Weser”). Being the Volksmarine’s sole infantry regiment, it was lavishly equipped and used to support the Polish-led invasion of Denmark in WARNO.

As a Warsaw Pact reserve division, with older equipment, the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana will have a unique advantage among other mobilization formations in WARNO: it will be able to field both cheap reservists, a core of regulars, but also well-trained and Resolute East German marines.

[h3]The 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana in WARNO[/h3]
How will the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana look like in WARNO - LANDJUT? New units are both italic and bolded.All the following is still a work in progress.

LOG

• A pretty good category. After all, these are the second assault wave, bringing the supplies!
  
• Command units include the WD-43 jeep, SKOT R-2M APC, and the BWP-1K3 IFV.
  
• Supply units can deploy as an FOB, the amphibious BAW-485 (the World War II-era DUKW), and the heavy KRAZ-255B trucks, plus the Mi-8T supply helicopter.

INF

• A very good category. Some usual Polish suspects include:
  
  • PIECHOTA ZMECH. in command, "vanilla", and SVD variants. The latter two squads are both on a single card, representing the few professional mechanized infantry squads in the division. All units come in (new) LO-1800 (East German) trucks or the BWP-1.
    
  • PIECHOTA squads in command, "vanilla" and SVD variants. It follows the same card distribution as above, representing the few professional APC-based soldiers, all coming in LO-1800 trucks or the SKOT-2A.
    
  • Combat engineers take the form of the usual DOW. SAPERY and SAPERY SZTURMOWI squads, with the addition of the new REZ. SAPERY, which are 8-strong squads fielding 7x PM-63, 1x PKM, Satchel charges and the Reservist trait. They can be deployed in softskins or the SKOT-2 APC.
    
  • The division also has access to the standard array of support SPG-9, FAGOT, SWS, military police, and the DRUZYNA PPANC. tank hunters. The East Germans also bring a few KONKURS ATGM teams.
    
  • As with any Polish division, the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana had its own organic commando company, hence the KOMANDOSI special forces squads in HONKERS 4011 or helicopters.
• New units include some of the most soldier-filled squads: the REZERWISCI, 12-strong with kbk AK, 1x PKMm and RPG-17VM, and the REZERWISCI (SVD), which are the same size with 2x PKM and 1x SVD but fielding Komar anti-tank weapons. Both receive the Reservist trait, and come in LO-1800 or TOPAS-2A.
  
• East Germany’s specially trained “amphibious soldiers” were dubbed PANZERMATROSEN (literally “armored sailors”) and came as 8-man squads with 6x MPI-AK-74N, 1x LMG-K, 1x SVD, and RPG-7VR.
  
• The PANZERMATROSEN FÜH. are 3-strong command squads with 3x MPI-AK-74N, 1x RPG-7VL, and Smoke grenades. Both deploy with the Resolute trait, riding to battle in softskins or the SPW-70 APC.

ART

• An average category with the division’s organic artillery being of mediocre quality, but reinforced in WARNO with the 24th Mortar Brigade.
  
• This results in older M43 120mm mortars, and the M30 122mm and ML-20 152mm howitzers, with the MLRS being the older BM-14M type (though new to Poland, already featured with the Soviets in WARNO - SOUTHAG’s 17-ya Gvardeyskaya Tankovaya Diviziya).
  
• The East German Coastal Defense Regiment 18 brings some more modern 2S12 120mm mortars (new to the East Germans, but featured extensively with Soviets in WARNO) as well as the self-propelled 2S1 GVOZDIKA.
  
• The influx of new weaponry comes courtesy of the 24th Mortar Brigade:
  
  • The new heavy M43 160mm and super-heavy M240 240mm mortars, the latter already featured with Nemesis #1 - Air Assault’s Soviet 56-ya O.G. Desantno-Shturmovaya Brigada, but here without the extended rocket-assisted rounds (hence less range) nor Cluster rounds. Both units also feature the Reservist trait.
    
  • The D-1 152mm howitzer and the A-19 122mm towed gun, the latter with a decent 1925m anti-armor round to counter any wayward light tank or APC.
    
  • Plus the “poor man’s Urugan” BM-24M 240mm MLRS (new to Poland in WARNO).

TANK

• Rather average with the division only having access to the older-generation T-55 tank.
  
• This means you’ll get to deploy the T-55AD command tanks and a single card each of T-55A and T-55AS "coffin-tank" with it's mine-clearing rocket charges.
  
• More numerous are the (new) T-55U, which are locally upgraded old T-54 tanks to the slightly less venerable T-55A standard. Visually different from other T-55 versions, these tanks do carry the same stats plus the Reservist trait.
  
• The East German Coastal Defense Regiment 18 brings a single card of Resolute KPZ. T-55AM2B.
  
• Anti-tank options include the Polish BRDM-2 MALYUTKA-P and the D-44 85mm towed anti-tank gun (the latter was previously featured with the East Germans but is new to the Polish armed forces in WARNO).
  
• Lastly, the East German SPW-40P2 KONKURS will also make an appearance.

REC

• A pretty good category with the usual complement of:
  
  • Polish ZWIADOWCZY and SAPERY ZWIADOWCY scout teams, as well as ROZP. SPECJALNE commandos.
    
  • Recon vehicles include the BRDM-1 PSNR-1 radar and BRDM-2 armored cars.
    
  • The Volksmarine provides its AUFKL. MI-14PL radar recon helicopter.
• New units are:
  • Polish reserve REZ. ZWIADOWCY 3-strong scout team in UAZ, OT-65, or BRDM-1.
    
  • The R-330T TARAN SIGINT recon vehicle, based on the MT-LB.
    
  • And one of the most eagerly awaited, the FORMOZA naval special forces. These are 6-strong recon squads with 6x PM-63, Igla MANPAD ("borrowed" from their Soviet comrades, no doubt), Satchel charges, and the RPG-18.

AA

• Pretty good, with the division’s anti-air umbrella specifically brought up to reinforce the Polish 6th Airborne and 7th Sea Landing brigades already on enemy shores.
  
• Most units available will be classical: STRZALA-2M MANPAD teams, ZU-23-2 23mm and AZP S-60 57mm guns, plus STRZALA-1M mobile SAM and the HYBNERYT and ZSU-23-M1 SZYLKA SPAAGs. One new addition is the light LO-1800 ZPU-2 AA truck.
  
• The East Germans bring their W50 LA/A 25mm gun truck and the long-range OSA-AKM SAM.

HEL

• A very bad category, as all available Polish helicopters were committed to support the first assault wave.
  
• As such, this division only gets to deploy a single card of East German Mi-8TB.

AIR

• Three different air forces will provide the air cover for the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana:
  
  • The Air Force of the Polish Army deploys the Su-7BKL in [HE] and [RKT] variants, which are similar to the Czechoslovakian variants from Nemesis #5 - Southern Flank. New variants include [NPLM] with gun and 8x ZB-500 napalm bombs, and the unarmed [EW] with, you might have guessed it, the Electronic Warfare trait which will try to scramble enemy air defense's targeting systems.
    
  • The capable Su-22M4 in [HE], [CLU], [AT], and [SEAD] loadouts.
    
  • Also, we thought the Lim-6M ought to be featured in at least one Polish division, to be especially fitting in a reserve one.
• The East Germans provide some air superiority cover with the MiG-21bis [AA2].

• Finally, the Soviet Air Forces operated two regiments of Su-27s in Poland, granting the 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana several Su-27S [AA1] and the new Su-27S [AA2]. This latter variant features a new model with prominent jammers on its wingtips, raising the aircraft’s ECM to 40%, while also bringing an on-board gun, 4x R-27ER and 2x R-27T anti-air missiles.

The 15 Dywizja Zmechanizowana is a mobilization division that can count on plentiful reservist units, with a small core of professional soldiers, further supported in the field by East German “marines” and Soviet air power.

[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.
