As the Germans expanded their use of the new Rift-tech developed Heavy Infantry Armour, whole units have been equipped in armoured divisions to form heavy Panzergrenadier forces able to support heavy tank and panzermech battalions. These heavy formations would often be the spearhead of an advance to maximise the damage inflicted on defending forces.

Officers of these units would be equipped with the same armour as their troops, although often carrying lighter weapons more suited to personal protection. The officer can be accompanied by up to two assistants to run messages and maintain communications back to Battalion HQ.
