The new Commonwealth spotlight shifts from Australia to Canada, and the tone changes fast. So, this is not another lightly tweaked British sub-list.
Instead, Warlord presents Canada as a force with its own battlefield rhythm. Moreover, even this short preview makes the army sound pushy, stubborn, and dangerous at close range.
Tough morale, aggressive order play, and more flamethrowers give Canada a nasty tabletop identity
The article is focused only on Canada’s National Special Rules, not its unique units or full roster options. However, that still gives a strong picture of how the army wants to fight. First, Dogged means units become less likely to run as they take casualties, and it also boosts small teams. So, right away, Canada sounds harder to shake than many opponents may expect.
Meanwhile, Highly Motivated revives the feel of the old Vengeance rule, making Canadians more likely to pass Order Tests when close to the enemy. That clearly rewards an aggressive style.
Then Warlord ties that directly to Flame Warfare, noting that every Rifle Platoon can now take a flamethrower. As a result, the army looks built to close the distance and make short-range fights miserable. Meanwhile, Browning Machine Gun lets players load tanks up with extra MMGs and HMGs for more firepower, even if it is not free. That sounds both useful and very characterful.
Finally, some Canadian infantry can be taken as Airborne, combining Stubborn and Veteran to create a hard core of paras. Altogether, this preview paints Canada as a very different Commonwealth army, with a strong focus on pressure, resilience, and getting in close no matter the cost.
