Located in Europe’s far northeastern edge, the three Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia; are bordered by mainland Russia to the east, Belarus to the south, and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to the west. This geography leaves them connected to their NATO allies only through a narrow corridor with Poland known as the Suwałki Gap, a critical lifeline in the event of a conflict with Russia. This strategic position forms the backdrop of the Broken Arrow campaign, “War in the Baltic”.
The Baltic Battalion is a new army specialization that can be combined with any existing U.S. specialization to create the game’s first coalition battlegroup. As additional nations are introduced in future updates, even more coalition combinations will become possible.
With very limited air power, the Baltic States compensate by fielding a strong mix of motorised and mechanised troops equipped with European-made vehicles and weapons. This provides a wide variety of tactical options, though most units are available only in limited numbers.
Compared to U.S. and Russian specializations, the Baltic Battalion offers a broader selection of infantry, as each role is represented by a variant from each of the three countries.
Scimitar:
This small armoured reconnaissance vehicle, part of the CVR-T family purchased by Latvia from the United Kingdom, is fast and equipped with a 30 mm RARDEN autocannon manually reloaded using three-round clips. While this weapon does not match the rate of fire of Bushmaster chain guns, it still delivers considerable firepower, particularly at short range.
Spartan:
Another variant of the CVR-T family acquired from the United Kingdom, this lighter vehicle is capable of transporting a recon squad. Upgrade options allow it to be fitted with a remote‑controlled turret armed with a heavy machine gun, an automatic grenade launcher, or even Spike LR top‑attack anti‑tank missiles.
TGB-1111:
An old Swedish vehicle acquired by Estonia, that can be equipped as a tank hunter either with a 90mm recoilless rifle PV-1110 or with an RBS 56 ATGM. While the ATGM has limited range, it’s overfly top-attack warhead allows it to bypass the frontal armor of tanks to hit their more vulnerable roof armor.
Wolf WMIK:
This rugged British made 4x4 vehicle transports recon infantry faster than any other, ensuring they reach the contested areas ahead of the enemy. It is equipped with a medium and a heavy machine gun that can be swapped for an automatic grenade launcher.
These units benefit from superior stealth and optics but also represent a meaningful threat with some considerable firepower.
Jegeris (Lithuania):
A versatile special forces unit from the Vytautas the Great Jaeger Battalion (Vytauto Didžiojo jėgerių batalionas) they are equipped for deep reconnaissance and direct action behind enemy lines with HK-416A5 rifles, Minimi Mk.3 chambered in 7.62, SCAR-H Tactical precision Rifle and Carl Gustaf M4 84mm recoilless rifle.
Eesti Scouts (Estonia):
The Estonian Scouts Battalion (Scoutspataljon) is a highly trained and well-equipped rapid reaction force. In the game, the unit is outfitted with some of the latest weaponry adopted by Estonia, including R-20 Rahe assault rifles, R-20L designated marksman rifles, the Negev NG7 machine gun, and the Spike SR anti-tank missile system.
The Spike SR (Short Range) differs significantly from the Spike LR (Long Range) variant. It is a shoulder-launched, fire-and-forget missile designed to fill the gap between unguided shoulder-fired rockets and longer-range anti-tank guided missiles, providing infantry with an effective short-range anti-armor capability.
SUV (Latvia):
The Special Task Unit, or SUV (Speciālo uzdevumu vienība), is a Latvian special forces unit. In the game, they are represented as a reconnaissance unit focused on anti-infantry operations. They are equipped with suppressed G36K rifles, shotguns, RBG-6 multiple grenade launchers, and flashbang grenades, making them an effective force in close-quarters combat.
These units have limited combat capabilities and can be rapidly overwhelmed but they excel at infiltrating enemy lines to provide valuable information.
KNT (Lithuania):
The Lithuanian Combat Divers Service (KNT - Kovinių narų tarnyba) is a branch of the special operations forces specialized in amphibious warfare.
This amphibious unit armed with suppressed MP5’s can infiltrate through waterways and emerge in the back of unsuspecting enemies, providing valuable recon of enemy front and backlines.
Snaiprid (Estonia):
This Estonian sniper team operates in pairs, consisting of a shooter equipped with a Hécate II heavy sniper rifle and a spotter carrying an R-20L, a 7.62 mm designated marksman variant of the R-20 Rahe, which allows them to support the sniper while maintaining firepower of their own.
Snaiperu Komanda (Latvia):
A three man Latvian sniper team armed with an Accuracy International AXMC chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum (8.58 × 70 mm), a powerful and highly accurate cartridge designed for engaging targets at extreme ranges. The second sniper carries an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rifle chambered in 7.62 mm, providing reliable precision at medium to long distances. The third team member provides security for the unit with a G36 fitted with an under-barrel grenade launcher.
Jalaväe Jagu (Estonia):
This Estonian infantry 8 man squad is equipped with R-20 Rahe rifles, M203 grenade launchers, a MG3 machine gun, a Galatz 7.62mm designated marksman rifle derived from the Galil and Spike SR anti-tank missiles.
They are best utilized at mid-range because the Spike has a minimum arming distance superior to unguided RPGs.
Geležinis Vilkas (Lithuania):
The Lithuanian Iron Wolf squad is a well-rounded eight-man unit equipped with G36 rifles and grenade launchers, supported by a Ksp 58B machine gun and a FN SCAR‑H precision rifle. The squad also fields a Carl Gustaf M3 recoilless rifle for anti-armor capabilities. This loadout allows the unit to remain flexible and capable across a wide range of combat situations.
Mehanizētie Kājinieki (Latvia):
The Latvian 8-man infantry squad is equipped with G36 and grenade launchers like their Lithuanian counterparts but use Minimi light machine guns and AT4 disposable rocket launchers as force multipliers. They are more suited for short range engagements.
Kaitseliit (Estonia):
The Estonian Defence League is a voluntary national defence organization. It is represented as smaller 5-man squads equipped with reserve-issue weaponry: Galil rifles, Negev NG5 light machine gun and B-300 rocket launcher firing high-explosive anti-personal rockets.
KASP (Lithuania):
The Lithuanian National Defence Volunteer Forces (Krašto Apsaugos Savanorių Pajėgos) are equipped with G-36 and M72A2 LAW disposable anti tank launchers. Although this older anti-tank rocket is no longer effective against modern tanks, it can still do damage to lighter vehicles.
Zemessardze (Latvia):
The Latvian National Guard (Latvijas Republikas Zemessardze) is represented as a 5-man squad equipped with older G3 rifles, HK 79N underbarrel grenade launcher, MG3 machine gun and Carl Gustaf M2 rocket launcher.
While the G3 rifles are older systems they offer a superior range compared to the more modern rifles with a smaller caliber.
ESTSOF (Estonia):
The Estonian special forces consist of elite soldiers who regularly participate in foreign deployment alongside the US SOF but they also stand ready to fight a high intensity conflict closer to home.
In the game they are represented as a 9-man squad equipped with R-20S Carbines, M203, MG4 machine guns and C90-CR-BK dual purpose rocket launchers able to take down both infantry and armored vehicles.
Žaliukai (Lithuania):
The Lithuanian green boys is a 9-man squad specialized in close quarter combat, armed with suppressed HK416A5 and Minimi light machine guns, shotguns and M72A10 LAW with high explosive rockets as well as flashbangs - they are designed and excel in rapidly clearing buildings.
Milan (Estonia):
The Milan is an old French made ATGM with limited range but a lot of punch as it can pierce up to 1000mm of armor. This team uses two launchers at once to compensate for the lower reliability of this weapon.
Javelin (Lithuania):
The American Javelin top-attack anti-tank missile has been purchased by both Estonia and Lithuania but in larger quantities by the latter so we have represented the infantry squad carrying them as a Lithuanian unit in the game. This is a 4-man team with a single launcher and carrying 6 missiles.
Spike LR (Latvia):
The Spike LR (long range) is a fire and forget top-attack anti-tank missile similar to the American Javelin but with more range, making this Latvian 4-man team a deadly threat to any armored vehicles, including tanks, within a large radius.
Grom (Lithuania):
The Grom is a Polish made equivalent of the Russian Igla acquired by Lithuania. This 4-man anti-aircraft team carries 2 launchers to compensate for the lack of performance of this old weapon system.
Piorun (Estonia):
The Piorun is an evolution of the Grom with better range and a more potent warhead. All 3 Baltic States have ordered this man portable anti-aircraft missile but since the other nations had alternatives we have decided to consider it an Estonian unit in the game.
RBS 70 (Latvia):
The Swedish Robotsystem 70 acquired by Latvia is a short range anti-aircraft system required to be dismounted when transported. It has more range than shoulder fired rockets but also requires the whole team to be stationary to become operational.
M2 Browning:
A team of 2 Browning heavy machine guns served by a crew of 4. They are great fire support against infantry and light vehicles but also represent a serious threat to helicopters flying too close.
GMG:
A pair of german made GMG automatic grenade launchers providing great fire support against infantry and light vehicles. Their important volume of fire is also useful to stress tanks even if they cannot damage them.
M2 + GMG:
A mix of an M2 and a GMG for those who cannot decide between the two weapons.
The swedish made CV-90 is one of the best infantry fighting vehicle platforms: well armored, compact, mobile, powerful.
The main weapon is a 35mm Bushmaster III chaingun and the vehicle can be upgraded to the Mk.IV standard adding Spike LR missiles and an Iron Fist active protection system.
It is also possible to upgrade the armor with ceramic plates to make it resilient to Russian 30mm autocannons from the front. A great option to bring troops to the frontline and provide heavy fire support.
IFV Vilkas:
Vilkas (wolf) is the name given by the Lithuanian army to their newly acquired Boxer armored fighting vehicles. The variant is armed with a 30mm Bushmaster II chain gun and Spike LR missiles.
It is also possible to upgrade it with an active protection system called Strike Shield.
M113:
The venerable American made armored personal carriers were bought by Lithuania from Germany in the early 2000s after being modernized and are still in service. They have a sitting capacity of 10 which is more than enough for a mechanized squad and allows to carry two squads of volunteers/reservists at once. The armor can be upgraded with a cage to increase the resilience against RPGs and the M2 HMG can be swapped for a GMG automatic grenade launcher.
XA-180:
This Finnish made amphibious armored personal carrier is simple and reliable. It can transport up to 10 soldiers at speeds up to 100km/h on road.
The protection can be increased with extra armored plates and smoke pods at the cost of the amphibious capabilities.
The heavy machine gun can be swapped for an automatic grenade launcher too.
Leopard 2A8:
The German made Leopard 2A8 is the latest iteration of this legendary tank.
This steel beast can weigh up to 70 tons when fully upgraded. The significant weight of the platform is starting to hinder its mobility as the engine has not been upgraded since the initial weight was around 55 tons.
What it may lack in mobility, it makes up for in outstanding frontal armor and can be upgraded with extra side armor or a trophy active protection system to intercept anti-rank rockets and missiles.
A remotely controlled heavy machine gun can also be installed for even more firepower.
Type-X:
The Estonian made unmanned ground vehicle is the first ground drone introduced into the game. The absence of crew offers multiple advantages. First it is immune to stress; meaning it will always fight at full capacity, it is light enough to be airdropable, and it is compatible with many types of turrets armed with multiple weapons including M230, Bushmaster I or II chainguns, Javelin, Spike LR missiles.
The main drawback of not having a crew is that the weapons cannot be reloaded, so whatever is contained in the primary magazine is all you get until you bring it back to a resupply point.
G-Wagen:
This light 4x4 has exceptional mobility on roads compared to heavier armored vehicles. It is equipped with an anti-tank guided missile, either a Milan, MAPATS (which is a TOW equivalent), or Spike LR. This unit is a great option to ambush enemy reinforcement columns or to support an armored engagement for a cheap price.
M109A5Ö:
A simple and reliable self propelled howitzer used by Latvia shooting high explosive or smoke rounds. The M109A5 is very similar to the A6 version used by the USA but has a lower ammo carrying capacity of 36 instead of 42.
K9 Kõu:
The K9 Thunder is a modern 155mm self propelled howitzer developed in Korea and purchased by Estonia. It combines long range with a good rate of fire thanks to an assisted loading system. Standard or extended range munitions are available including the guided Vulcano rounds.
PzH-2000:
Built in Germany and purchased by Lithuania, this self propelled howitzer has one of the highest rates of fire in the world. It also carries 60 rounds which is higher than most of its counterparts.
M113 Panzermörser:
A 120mm mortar mounted on the back of a M113 chassis, able to shoot high explosives or smoke rounds.
The armor of the vehicle can be upgraded with a cage armor and a self defense machine gun or grenade launcher can be added.
Iris-T SLM:
A medium range air defense system carrying 4 or 8 vertically launched missiles made in Germany and recently purchased by all 3 Baltic countries.
NASAMS:
This Norwegian surface to air missile system purchased by Lithuania consists of 6 missile pods mounted on the back of a truck. Each pod can carry a AIM-9 sidewinder missile or a AIM-120 AMRAAM.
Unimog ZU-23/Mistral:
This short range anti-aircraft unit can be fitted either with a twin 23mm cannon or a Mistral missile launcher.
The Mistral is a French made short range anti-aircraft missile about twice the weight of MANPADS like Stinger or Igla. It has more range and punch but due to the weight it is impossible to be shoulder launched.
E13TP:
This truck dedicated to supply transport can carry up to 15 tons. It is well armored and a self defense MMG is available on the roof of the cabin.
Unimog:
A smaller multipurpose truck which can carry up to 16 soldiers or 3 tons of supplies.
AS-365 Dauphin:
A fast and agile helicopter with a limited carrying capacity. 10 soldiers can be transported or 1.5 tons of cargo. It can be fitted with 20mm gunpods and/or 70mm rockets.
UH-60M Blackhawk:
The American helicopter has been purchased by both Latvia and Lithuania. It carries up to 13 soldiers or 4 tons of cargo.
The door weapons can either be mounted FN Mag MMGs or GMG automatic grenade launchers.
L-39 Albatros:
This small trainer jet can be equipped with various bombs as well as 70mm rocket pods and AIM-9 infrared missiles. Its slow speed doesn’t allow it to attack frontline targets defended by SAM but it is very cheap and cost effective to attack units trying to infiltrate your lines.
C-27J Spartan:
This Italian cargo plane purchased by Lithuania carries less payload than the C-130 but is also more agile while being as fast. Up to 10 tons of cargo or 46 paratroopers can be carried.
