Wow, impressive work

Will these units be close to life? As in, will the tanks be very slow and etc.?

Indeed they are extremely slow. They also boosts nearby friendly infantry. This is to give them the purpose to break a stalemate. But at the moment I am very much working on only the models. I want to create all the tanks that participated in WWI before I move on.

will it include nukes?

Infantry boosts is a pretty intuitive and interesting mechanic. Nice thinking.

Very Impressive
