New types of grenade and the Steam Summer Sale!
The next free expansion which will soon be arriving for Tannenberg will introduce some new types of grenade which will provide new tactical options, which we’re excited to reveal below. You can see our update plans in our roadmap!
Plus, don’t forget that Tannenberg is 50% off right now in the Steam Summer Sale, and Verdun is 60% off!
Now, on to the grenades!
German Type N Nebelbombe.
Smoke is often overlooked as a battlefield tool. When your job is to capture a location, you don’t need to kill every enemy present before moving in - when sniping at range the position will usually be reinforced anyway by the time you get there. It’s often better to aggressively take the point, then defend against counter-attacks while clearing out any stragglers. This is where smoke can be very useful! Use it to cover your advance on a trench, block the line of sight of an enemy HMG, or just sow a little confusion in the enemy lines.
The M1917 Chemical grenade.
Gas is also very useful in an attack to disorient and weaken defenders, but it can be challenging to coordinate the artillery barrage with the attack itself. Carrying gas in grenade form allows you to more easily surprise your enemies and make sure you advance just as they are hurrying to fit their gas masks.
This screenshot by The Lion Sachiko nicely features both gas and smoke - fired from artillery for now! Better watch out for a flanking attack from that right hand side...
That’s all for today! Feel free to come chat about possibilities for the upcoming new grenades on our Discord channel!
