The first update appears ALL this, but in the second only british icon abilities (and german sniper i dont know currently used), the rest is as if it never existed





-Approaches the roadmap and this is perhaps something to speculate, but I think it is better to reveal:




My speculation:
7th Infantry Division (United Kingdom) They was in 1938–1939 in Palestine and Egypt

11th Infantry Division (United Kingdom) They was in
Operation Overlord
Operation Market Garden
Battle of the Bulge
Operation Varsity

3rd Infantry Division (United States) They was in North Africa

8th Armoured Division (United Kingdom) He was in Egypt

Thus it is somewhat confusing, but I trust more in the icons

I'm pretty sure I've seen the first one on various stealth icons, are you sure about that?

The last one's obvious though, it's going to be used for Penals' new PPSh+flamethrower upgrade.

A british campaign with Dunkirk, Arnheim etc seems just as likely as an Africa Korps addon.

I hope it's multiplayer content though!

Looks like a custom skin made by modder. Look at `starbuck3` lines.


They will add more skins to the in-game store/ new warspoils system.

I'd assume singleplayer since the multiplayer part of the fanbase got the commanders and UKF faction of the late (though ya know, you can just use them only for singleplayer if you're so inclined...).

German sniper stealth - nothing new, mechanically, I guess.
MP44s - new Volks upgrade icon.
Repair Pioneer - HQ upgrade unlock icon.
Mud critical - relic pls no.
Conscripts with flamer, british recon ability: interdasting. Most interdasting.

Re: skins, if a soldier farted ingame I swear people on this forum would be like SOLDIERS WERE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN FARTING IN EGYPT, THEREFORE AFRIKA KORPS EXPANSION CONFIRMED!!!111

I assumed the flamer with PPSHs is the Assault package used on penals in the balance mod.


Perhaps they are thinking of changing the IS vet1 sight boost into some kind of ability?

Hate to burst your North Africa bubble, but there's a few things to point out...

7th Armored Division also fought in Europe.
3rd Division in this case would more likely be the British 3rd Division, not the American one (considering it's a British skin), and they only fought in Europe.
The text references 8th Army Corps, not 8th Armoured Division. The 8th Army Corps only fought in Europe.

So I highly doubt this is clues hinting at North Africa content.

British recon ability is probably from the old recce section that used to come with the valentine.

Valentine call in buff confirmed?

Icons look like cut content.

As for the divisions, you should notice that it says they are based on those. By that logic, every skin means that Relic has yet to release some more ToW missions.

Or actually, the United States fought against Japan, USF is in the game, so therefore next faction has to be Japan.

Mud critical has got place in ToW where you have to destroy vehicles stucked in mud:D Don't remember the mission name but it's in southern fronts.

1) Can be just sniper icon revamp, not like it never happened before.
2) OKW mechanized hq pio upgrade.
3) Volk stgs.
4) Scrapped brit recon section.
5) Who knows.
6) New penal package icon.
7) Skin descriptions look like contest custom skins because relics descriptions are more expanded.

Take off your tinfoil hats gents, its preview mod getting serious enough to have relic prepare icons for new stuff.
