LEGIONNAIRES! The army that gave the game its name

Apr 26, 2021

In the last few days, we have brought you a bunch of news. Most importantly, we've showed you Legion: Siberian We also showcased a real playthrough in our gameplay video. And then there are two new PERKS

Want to buy our game? You only have a few more days to do so. :) 

Now we’re getting to the legionnaires, the Czechoslovak army in exile. After the Czechoslovaks refused to support the Reds, they found themselves in a difficult situation and had to become an independent army. In the chaos of the Civil War, the Legions managed to gain control over a huge part of Russia - but our heroes are in a slightly different situation. They were ambushed on the move and now they have to fight their way through no man’s land to their brothers.

The legionnaires can choose from two commanders: Lieutenant Topol is best at keeping his people safe and moving- at every Location, he can heal his troops. Colonel Kadlec, on the other hand, is quite distant from the battlefield and instead of long-term sustainability, he focuses on winning decisive conflicts at a few key Plots that he invests everything into. 

Legionnaires also have a few things in common. Only Legionnaire characters have the following ability:

Brotherhood
Special legionnaire ability.

Reaction. Only applies to Characters with the Brotherhood ability present at the same Plot at the same time - even if some of these Characters belong to another player. Play at any point when another Character with Brotherhood would be wounded. The Character playing Brotherhood will get the wound instead of another Brother at the same Plot.

They are truly devoted, and one brother would follow another into Hell and to the front lines. They stand out by having excellent civilian support and the highest number of nurses and doctors in the game. Their Characters also include a range of specialists, from sappers to an assault squad, which can charge forward using their special Assault ability. On the other hand, they don’t have many Jacks of all trades, meaning legionnaires need to mostly focus on cooperation and perseverance.
