Old Reich



The Old Reich is one of the enemy forces in Iron Rage. The Old Reich overthrew the Old Monarchy, a state bordering the old Iron Empire, creating the Crimson Dominion, and began investigations into the secret of eternal life using the Occult Monolith and the Church of the Dark Gods. However, the Hierarch of the Church gained his own power, and seized leadership of the Dominion. The surviving Old Reich forces were forced to flee to the west, where they set up around the fjords and stayed out of the following war between the Dominion and the Iron Empire, in order to continue their occult research on immortality. For the full story of the Old Reich, see this lore post on the Facebook community.

In their operations, the Old Reich has begun enslaving and exploiting citizens in the area of Richard's Valley, which has brought them to the attention of Captain Walker and the Resistance. The Overthrow campaign chronicles the operations of the Resistance to destroy the Old Reich forces in this area.

The Old Reich uses the following forces in battle:
 * infantry: Old Reich Guardsman
 * stormtroopers: Old Reich destroyer
 * heavy infantry: Old Reich ripper
 * specials: Old Reich Assassin
 * vehicles: "Order" walking machine
 * support: Artillery bombardment, Landing Old Reich, Mustard gas, Discharge

The Old Reich forces are very dangerous in battle and are significantly more powerful than your own troops at the same level. At high levels, the evasion of the Old Reich Guardsman becomes very high, which makes them especially difficult to defeat in battle.
