Konflikt '47
-
When the scientists leading the Rift-tech Tesla weapons programme offered the US military a lighter and smaller version of the Tesla cannon that had been so successful on the Sherman chassis, the military leapt at the opportunity. The addition of the Tesla cannon on...
-
This box contains: Enough resin and metal to create one Jackal A breakthrough in the power of repulsor pods led to first the Jackal and then the Mudskipper walkers, built to keep up with fast moving jump infantry. The M5A5 Jackal sacrifices firepower for speed...
-
As the US developed walker tactics for regiments of Grizzly and Bruin walkers it became apparent that an antiaircraft capability was required; wheeled and tracked systems were unable to coordinate with the walkers in urban or close terrain. The Kodiak was the result, reducing...
-
The Mudskipper is one of the newest walkers off the production line, a heavier platform to give the jump infantry some genuine punch as they advance in to enemy territory. With shock absorbers to handle the jumping manoeuvre and a stripped down chassis to...
-
Using revolutionary jump-packs, Firefly infantry are drawn from the Paratroopers and specialise in rapid advances to take ground, waiting for conventional infantry and armour to relieve them. The US army tactical doctrine placed great emphasis on firepower and mobility, and this is reflected in...
-
Since its introduction in late 1945, the Coyote has served with distinction in all theatres and environments. Manouverable, well-armed, and mechanically reliable the Coyote has proven adaptable to any combat role, from recce to urban assault. Armed with 2 fists, a light machine gun,...
-
M8 Grizzly Medium Assault Walker the first truly practical walker designed using Rift technology; the Grizzly is a watchword in rugged and practical design. Armed with the proven 75mm gun and a .50 HMG, the Grizzly is versatile and adaptable. More useful are perhaps...
-
Having suffered terribly at the hands of German Thor and Zeusnheavy panzermechs, the Soviets put a tremendous effort into replicating their effect. After capturing a Thor, they were able to replicate much of the multi-leg technology. Picturing the Mammoth as a mobile bunker rather...
-
In a rush to keep up with their foes, Soviet infantry armour was developed quickly and put into use not long after their rivals. Cumbersome and bulky, the Soviet suits lack subtlety, but their effectiveness is not disputed. Unlike other nations, the Soviet heavy...
-
The Soviets recognised the versatility of the German Spinne walker and were able to reverse engineer much of the technology from captured examples. Using biped technology stolen from the US, they were able to produce the Cossack. Fast and agile it is an excellent...
-
In the north, the Soviets maintain pressure on the Germans with fighting heaviest around the embattled city of Warsaw. The intensity of the fighting effectively renders the city uninhabited, but its symbolism as Poland's capital means neither Hitler or Stalin will let the other...
-
Using a low level of DNA enhancement through their Rift-tech programme, the Soviet Union has created an all-female, propaganda-driven elite unit. Combined with intensive training and indoctrination, the unit has proven highly effective in combat, although is only used when causalities are anticipated to...
-
The Soviets developed a weapon utilising Ursine DNA to create an 8ft tall man/bear hybrid that could go toe-to toe with any enhanced infantry on the battlefields of 1947. Powerful, but lacking control, the Ursus soldiers were often unleashed in highly contested areas of...
-
Through a combination of espionage, scientific exploitation of prisoners, and defecting scientists, the Soviet Union gained substantial knowledge of the German super-soldier and genesplicing programmes and produced its own versions of DNA enhanced soldiers. In an effort to make soldiers immune to the cold,...
-
As Dresden’s Rift technology scientists looked to enhance the weaponry they were creating they trialed a towed Schwerefeld Projektor to look at its suitability in infantry formations. Although it required a small generator trailer to make it independent of a larger powerpack or vehicle,...
-
Currently the pinnacle of the soldier enhancement division, the Nachtjäger is no longer truly human, with the DNA of reptiles, bats, and alligators merged into a horrific creation. No one knows if the subjects for this programme are volunteers, but their effect on the...
-
Using technology derived from the dreaded Nachtjäger programme, the scientists at Dresden’s Rift-tech labs have stabilised a quicker, less dramatic DNA enhancement process capable of effective results. Closely tied to the Nachtjägers, these ‘night-demon’ infantry are enhanced with some but not all of the...
-
The Panzer IV chassis proved ideal for experimenting with new weapons derived from Rift-tech. The most prominent of these is the Panzer IV X that mounts a gravity pulse cannon (the Schwerefeld Projektor). Still only produced in limited numbers, its success in battle means...
-
The versatile and highly effective Panther tank has been upgraded with a modernised and field tested Schwerefeld Projector to create a well-armed and armoured medium tank. The Panther’s versatility has also led to it being fielded with the latest Rift-tech weapon in the form...
-
Whilst production of the Tiger II remains limited and has been further curtailed by resources diverted to the heavy panzermech programme, the tank remains a highly potent vehicle. As rift-tech developments have led to newer and more potent weapon systems, the King Tiger has...
