History

The Anti-tank Rifle is the Heavy Infantry of the Industrial Age, avaliable to upgrade from Fusiliers and are trained at the Barracks.

OverviewEdit

After Fusiliers become Anti-tank Rifle, they gain +15 hit points, +2 attack strength, +2 attack range and +1 line of sight.

Like all modern Heavy Infantry, Anti-tank Rifle are strong at destroying Tanks, but weak versus Modern Infantry and Machine Guns.

TriviaEdit

• The anti-tank rifle used by the unit seems to be a mix of the Boys anti-tank rifle (ammo magazine and barrel) and the Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr (wooden stock). However, considering this unit is supposed to represent a World War I unit, the former is anachronistic while the latter is appropriate.
