}}'''Saxon Stormtrooper''' — elite infantry unit of the [[Saxony Empire|Saxon Empire]] in the alternate historical universe of '''Iron Harvest 1920+'''. These soldiers, equipped with advanced submachine guns, combine high mobility with intense firepower, serving as the main striking force of the [[Infantry/Saxon Infantry|Imperial infantry]].

== Equipment ==
Stormtroopers are distinguished by their ceremonial uniforms: dark blue uniforms, leather cuirasses, glossy boots, and distinctive pickelhaubes with a golden depiction of the Saxon wolf.
Weapon: a submachine gun based on the German MP18 from World War I.

==Combat Usage==
Stormtroopers are 20% faster than standard infantry, allowing them to quickly close with the enemy. They dominate in close combat against units like [[Infantry/Rusviet Vanguards|Rusviet Vanguard]], but are inferior in range to [[Infantry/Polanian Rifleman|Polanian Riflemen]]. The weapon is effective at medium range, providing a rate of fire of up to 550 rounds per minute. Each burst deals 16 points of damage, with veteran units increasing this to 21 points.

The optimal tactic is to attack in groups of 2-3 units in open terrain, where their rate of fire suppresses enemy infantry. With support from [[Infantry/Saxon Machine Gunner|machine gunners]] or [[mechs]], stormtroopers can break through defenses, but are vulnerable to armored vehicles and artillery.

Like any other infantry unit, the soldiers can change their infantry class by picking up weapons from the ground.

=== Features and Limitations ===
Despite their versatility, stormtroopers are weak in melee combat and ineffective against armored targets. Their main threat is enemy mechs and entrenched machine gun nests. To minimize losses, it is recommended to combine them with [[Infantry/Saxon Medic|medics]] and [[Infantry/Saxon Engineer|engineers]], who provide support and repairs.

==Veterancy==
* '''Level 1:''' Faster reload and suppression resistance.
* '''Level 2:''' 40% damage increase.

== Historical Analogues ==
* The design and tactics of the stormtroopers are inspired by the German assault troops (''Stoßtruppen'') of the 1917-1918 period. Like their real-life prototypes, they rely on mobility and firepower, and their pickelhaubes refer to the uniforms of the German Empire. The MP18 submachine gun, which served as the basis for the game model, was historically the first mass-produced weapon of this class to be adopted.
* In dialogues, the stormtroopers emphasize their loyalty to the empire, calling themselves "the best sons of the Fatherland."
* In early concepts, the stormtroopers' uniforms included black elements, but the final design was chosen for contrast with the dark tones of enemy factions.
