Description
Character models from Project Altirus: The Second Leersog War, now available to Beta branch players as standalone skins. Includes the following:

Syrvanian Army Infantry (Summer and Autumn Uniforms)
When Chergaria invaded Syrvania in 524, Syrvania's armed forces were ragged and ill-equipped, and succeeded thanks only to competent leadership and foreign involvement. Now, in Hetland, they have become the invaders. While NCO and officer ranks are filled by veterans, the bulk of their infantry force is comprised of raw recruits, typically between the ages of fifteen and twenty years. Most hail from rural backgrounds, but as the invasion of Hetland begins to lose steam, their compatriots working in factories have been enlisted to fight alongside them.

Hettic Home Army
Despite their proud tradition of excellence, Hetland's military was in no condition to fight a prolonged war. While Syrvania modernized her armies, Hetland focused on her infrastructure, while elements of her aristocracy took more than their share for their own coffers to celebrate Altirus's economic golden age. As a result, the Home Army was only prepared at the final hour, and their leadership - unprepared for the swift, mechanized tactics used by Syrvania - was thrown into disarray. The Guardsmen on the frontline, drawn from all ages and walks of life, pay the price for this.

Syrvanian Army Infantry with gas masks
Chemical warfare was not common during the Second Leersog War, with the only documented case being the large-scale gas bombardment of Skolgva. It was generally avoided, as Syrvanian high command feared that toxins infiltrating the air and soil could ruin Leersog's arable land, and potentially render areas uninhabitable in the long term. Nevertheless, some Syrvanian units were issued with gas masks, fearing that the retreating Hetts might have no such qualms over scorched earth.

Hettic Home Army with gas masks
Most Hettic Home Army units were supplied with gas masks, but were not often taken into combat due to Syrvania's hesitance to use poison gas. However, the R-K Type chemical hood issued to them made its reputation known in Skolgva, as its ghastly appearance led many Syrvanian soldiers to believe they were fighting "hollow men", arisen from death to punish them for the atrocity they'd committed.

Hollow Men (Zombies)
The Skolgva incident remains to this day as a controversial subject. Isolated, guilt-stricken, sleep-deprived, and suffering from a lack of oxygen from lingering gas and their own protection from it, Syrvanian troops reported being attacked by "hollowed-out men", corpses of dead Hetts which sprung to life and attacked their garrison in town. The truth was more mundane, the incident has been exploited by popular fiction and conspiracy theories ever since, in particular, the Office of Civil Interest's investigation into the matter. The memoirs of former Office Field Inspector Ilo Breczevitz describe the incident as "the most humiliating matter in the history of any government organization, as far as I'm concerned".

Syrvanian Army Air Corps
The Syrvanian Defense Aviation Corps was initially centered around anti-bomber defense, surveillance, and liaison roles. In the years leading up to the invasion by Chergaria, however, it had purchased bombers and attack aircraft of its own, intending to use them in a "quick-response support unit". To streamline command structures, the Defense Aviation Corps was integrated into the Army as the Army Air Corps, and has proven invaluable in Syrvania's offensive in Leersog. Suitable aviators are taken from wherever there are volunteers, be they officers, enlisted men, or civilians. This has given them a numerical advantage over Hetland's Royal Flying Service, but their lenient selection process means that Hetland has an edge in terms of skilled pilots.

Syrvanian Paratroopers
Under the misleading moniker of the "5th Light Patrol Group", Syrvania's first attempt at paratroopers arose during the Chergarian invasion, as a means of inserting groups to conduct sabotage, assassinations, and misdirecting operations behind Chergarian lines. This never came to fruition during the course of the war, owing to a lack of available aviation fuel, and generally hostile airspace. Nevertheless, Syrvanian parachutists saw significant action during the Second Leersog War and afterwards, and by the early 530s, had adopted a more accurate name, the 1st Special Insertion Group. Though it would take some time for their equipment to become more specialized, their early kit differed little from that of regular army troops, featuring modified webbing and trading the conventional 18M helmet for the lower-profile 21M-P.

Syrvanian Army, Winter
While the majority of fighting took place in the Hettic heartland, with Syrvanian forces organized into the Southern Army Front, the smaller Northern Army Front fought through the northern highlands of Hetland, consisting mainly of light armor and mountan infantry formations surrounding a central mechanized force. The goal was to make its way through the mountains and around the Hettic 1st and 2nd Home Armies' flank, but delays to the south and worsening weather expedited their descent, nevertheless fulfilling their goal of redirecting the attention of Hetland's primary fighting force. Afterwards, into winter and early spring, winter uniforms found their way to most frontline elements of the Syrvanian army in Hetland.

Hettic Home Army, Winter
As the war dragged on, a frigid winter would descend upon Hetland following an intense rainy season in mid and late autumn. As Syrvania's invasion plowed on through the mud, sleet, and snow, items such as firewood, warm, dry clothing, and heavy blankets would top the logistics manifests of the Hettic Home Army. Previously, winter equipment was issued to the 3rd Army, which conducted a string of delaying and spoiling actions against Syrvania's Northern Army Front in the northern Hettic highlands.

Syrvanian tank crew
Standard uniform of Syrvanian army tank crews in the latter half of, and after, the Chergarian invasion. The old style leather hoods were replaced with the NkG.23 soft helmets due to frequent instances of head trauma inside the often cramped tanks fielded by Syrvania, such as the CzL.1.

Hettic tank crew
Standard uniform of Hettic Home Army tank crews. No lore for these guys off the cuff. What do you want from me, I'm not writing a Silmarillion here, I don't have a whole novel written on everything down to the manufacturing process of their pistol holsters, get outta here.
