[EUG_MadMat]

Let’s focus today on the most successful of all D-Day’s assault divisions: the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.

@EUG_MadMat double check the link . I think you've linked to a draft as I get an error when I click it.

 

[EUG_MadMat]

Indeed.
Link is fixed now.

Snipers, Wasps and Priests

Oh my!

 

[Gorganslayer]

thanks for another interesting dev diary. I liked having that extra bit about Leo major as well.

Looking forward to using Kangaoo carriers the most i reckon

I'm loving the turbans on the sniper scouts. I had to look them up immediately to find a real picture of it.

Plenty of pictures of Canadian sniper-scouts with turban here:

Great DD. Those where some really brave men.

The flag is wrong! The flag you've modelled is the one from before 1921. By 1944 the flag looked like this

That Léo guy was basically just a videogame player character IRL huh?

GO LEAFS GO!

No.

In all seriousness, this looks like a fun division.
... though they all look fun, can't wait to play the game.

Keep them coming, loving these interesting/informative blogs!

So Sexton and Priest are basically Stugs in this?

 

[UltimateIdiot]

What makes you think that? Pretty sure they're artillery-pieces?

I think we'll have normal SPG ones, but the Canadians may have used them in the direct fire role so we may get a direct fire version in-game for them. The unit name was "Priest DD" after all, that should separate it from normal M7s

There's no "may," I'm pretty sure it says plainly in the article that they get a Priest with direct fire capability.

Obviously the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division should get Leo Major as a Phase A recon unit. He will have infinite moral, very high HP, and 100% accuracy. His only weakness is that he cannot be everywhere at once.

No, they are regular artillery.
The 3rd British & 3rd Canadian Inf. Division, as assault divisions, were given extra-Priest & Wolverine to be used as assault guns, straight from their assault barges.
Ingame, that will be represented by Priest DD "assault gun".
Those extra Priest will be the ones latter converted to Kangaroo.
