Once a year, the restless Oni demons rise from the Underworld to participate in glorious battle. They may be summoned to the battlefield through the use of magical artifacts known as demon gates.

Continue the fight in the Pacific Front by summoning Oni demons through the construction of Demon Gates. Slay 100 Oni demons to gain permanent access to the Cleansed Demon Gates for Defense in Depth, Sector Defense, and United Front missions.

[h2]Top Brass[/h2]
Introducing the 3rd DLC for Skirmish Line, the Top Brass DLC adds a new hero unit, The General. Unlike Sarge or Mad Jack, The General cannot be directly controlled by the player. Instead, The General will reside inside of his bunker, an in-door environment preventing soldiers from shooting out or into the bunker. The General will drill soldiers in his presence, providing invaluable combat experience, but his death will greatly demoralize your squad!
