[Divisions] 716. Infanterie

Let’s focus today on the unfortunate second-rate division which happened to be garrisoned at the wrong place at the wrong moment on that fateful month of June 44: the 716. Infanterie-Division.

Well, it was a second(if not worst)-rate division which actually gave a better account of itself than could have been expected ...

Good description of what it used to be back then because in the game it is also quite bad. The ITA troops are ok but usually come too late and come under fire on the roads/in the open. Cool stuff, you can roleplay eugen dev diaries

The whole point of this deck from gameplay perspecive? flamer tank spam and lorraines working as direct fire/artillery. And the usual german things like 800m mg(pretty average without vet tho), pzshrecks and AT planes. Plus the late vet/elite troops.
