Well To Start things off i am seeing a lot of Faction Requests and Theatre movement towards the pacific. While I am extremely agaisnt such an Expansion. I think i will find some rather fun times theorizing what a potential USMC faction would bring. Why USMC you may ask and say not USSR vs IJA ? well its PVP balancing problems so. Theorizing about a potential US sub faction sounds a bit better IMO lets get into the theory time


USMC faction unlike the actual USF in COH 3 will be a Late Game focused faction as the new mechanic i will describe in a minute.


Our First Buliding is the Officer Quarters

From here a familiar squads join our ranks


Rear Echelon Troops.

Like their COH 2 counter parts this is a 4 man squad with Carbines but unlike COH 2 variant these guys are actually good in a fight. These guys offer the standart Engineering duties as you would expect.

In additon Officer quarters research the moblization to unlock further bulidngs and equipment


From OO we can construct our first bulding Marine Barracks.

This bulding constructs. 

Marine Squad: A 5 men squad armed with M1903 bolt action rifles although using outddated equipment these guys are a match for other mainlines.


M1917 HMG team

Another returning from COH 1 your standart HMG


Finally M2 60mm mortart


While the range of this mortar is shorter than other faction counterparts it has superior rate of fire

To close things off Yes I am well aware we will most likely wont see pacific focused expansion most likely being saved for COH 4 maybe ? Too stupid for an idea ? absolutely but i have too much free time on my hands so indulge me.
