As the Cold War turns hot, the conflict engulfs the entire European continent. The Northern Flank, once considered a secondary theatre, now becomes a critical battleground where control of the Baltic approaches and Nordic territories could decide the fate of Europe. With this expansion, three new Nordic nations—Sweden, Norway, and Denmark—are added to the fray, bringing their unique forces, doctrines, and tactical challenges into Armored Brigade II.
SWEDEN
A neutral power caught between two blocs, albeit with secretive contacts with NATO, the Kingdom of Sweden maintained a formidable military to ensure credible armed neutrality. The doctrine of Försvarsmakten (Swedish Armed Forces) was based on a total defense concept, leveraging the country's vast forests, difficult terrain, and long coastline to delay, attrit, and ultimately stop any invader in a protracted defense.
Swedish equipment was almost entirely of indigenous design, optimized for the specific demands of Scandinavian warfare. From the revolutionary turretless Stridsvagn 103 ‘S-Tank’ to rugged vehicles like the Pbv 302 and the ubiquitous Centurions, Swedish units are highly specialized. Their unique structure and emphasis on decentralized, mobile defense makes them a wildcard. On the battlefield, they are an unpredictable force, masters of ambush and layered defense.
NORWAY
As the strategic key to NATO's northern flank, Norway's commanding location was critical for controlling the Soviet Navy's access to the Atlantic. Its long coastline and vital ice-free ports made it both a priceless asset and a vulnerable target. The Norwegian Army's doctrine was entirely shaped by its geography: deep fjords, steep valleys, and limited road networks. Their strategy was one of aggressive delay, using light, mobile forces to block choke points, inflict heavy casualties, and buy time for NATO reinforcements.
Norwegians were experts in mountain and arctic warfare, fielding specialized troops and exploiting their home-field advantage. Their equipment was a mix of WWII surplus, licensed domestic production, and imported equipment from Western allies, particularly the United States and Germany. Playing as Norway is a tactical challenge of trading space for time, where every valley and mountain pass must be turned into a killing ground.
DENMARK
As the gatekeeper of the Baltic Sea, Denmark's role in NATO was to help hold the Schleswig-Holstein front line, bottling up the Soviet Baltic Fleet and preventing a thrust into the North German Plain. The Danish Army was a compact but robust force, built around a small peacetime core designed to be expanded with mobilized troops and NATO reinforcements. While smaller than its neighbors, the Danish army was well-equipped, motivated, and designed to serve as a solid, reliable bulwark alongside its West German and NATO counterparts. Theirs is a story of holding the line against overwhelming odds, where every unit counts and retreat is not an option.
