Imperial Guard
Regular army of "Empire". Main strengths are the number of cheap soldiers in infantry squads and the heavy armor possibilities.
| Commissar - Officer responsible for leading squad on battlefield. His special ability allows for restoring squad morale to full. |
| Command Squad - Includes main hero/commander (Vance Stubbs) of Imperial Guards army. Fully upgraded, can summon four additional squad members. Formation should avoid open fights, low HP and damages, but can be useful for supporting other units on battlefield. |
