Men of War (Russian: В тылу врага 2: Лис пустыни, or Behind Enemy Lines 2: Desert Fox) is a 2009 real-time strategy video game. Players issue orders to and/or take direct control of soldiers on a simulation-driven battlefield.
It is the sequel to Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2 (Behind Enemy Lines in Russian) and is technically a standalone expansion to "Faces of War" (Behind Enemy Lines 2 in Russian') re-using alot of the visual assets, however both mission design and weapon balancing has been massively overhauled compared to "Faces of War".
The game takes place during World War II (with the exception of the Vietnam expansion pack) and features battles set in Europe, the Soviet Union, Crete, and North Africa across three different campaigns for the Americans, Germans and Soviets. The Empire of Japan was later introduced as a multiplayer faction in a patch.
On November 1, 2009, a sequel called Men of War: Red Tide (Russian: "Черные бушлаты") was released, featuring missions centered on the Soviet Naval Infantry of the Black Sea Fleet, in addition to adding the arsenals of two more countries, Italy and Romania. This game notably featured no multiplayer or editor.
On February 25, 2011, a stand-alone expansion pack called Men of War: Assault Squad was released, featuring more small arms and high quality weapon models. The expansion pack focused on the multiplayer and infantry combat aspects of the game more.
On September 9, 2011, another stand-alone expansion called Men of War: Vietnam was released, featuring 2 campaigns focused on the Vietnam War (of the Vietcong and their Russian Advisors, and American Forces respectively) and featuring Vietnam War-era weapons though a healthy amount of the old World- War 2-Era weaponry returns.
On April 12, 2012, a sequel called Men of War: Condemned Heroes was released, featuring several campaigns focusing on the infamous Soviet "Penal battalions" and high quality human models.
On September 12, 2019, a standalone expansion for Assault Squad 2 (A 2014 remaster of the original Assault Squad with improved graphics, Steam Workshop support and using Steam servers instead of Gamespy.) called Men of War: Assault Squad 2 - Cold War bringing in elements of the Call to Arms version of the engine was released to heavily negative reception, due to an assortment of bugs, lack of overall content and complete lack of a proper single player campaign. (The single player just being bot matches and the game having a grand total of 5 maps used in both modes.)
While there is often overlap in firearm models, it is not uncommon for each individual game/expansion to introduce new models/sounds/textures for specific/all firearms.
Notably, the game fully depicts and has all machine guns in vehicles be usable, rear-mounted machine guns on Tank Turrets are usable by the AI/Player in addition to Hull/Coaxial/AA mountings depending on the tank.
It is not to be confused with the Perry Lang's action film Men of War.
The following weapons appear in the video game Men of War:
Men of War
Handguns
All pistols in the game use the same universal "Pistol Ammo", shared with SMGs.
Colt M1911A1
Luger P08
Nagant M1895
Nambu Type 14 (Hybrid)
The Nambu Type 14.
Tokarev TT-33
Walther P38
Welrod Mark I
Submachine Guns
All SMGs in-game use "Pistol Ammo" (which, essentially, is correct because most SMGs have pistol-caliber rounds).
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson is used by American soldiers and some British soldiers.
M3A1 "Grease Gun"
The M3A1 "Grease Gun" is used by US soldiers and incorrectly holds 32 rounds.
MP 40
This is the most common weapon used by German soldiers in the single-player campaign. In real life, the K98k was much more prevalent than the MP40.
MP 3008
The MP 3008, a German last-ditch weapon based on the British Sten Mk II is available.
Owen Mk. I
The Australian Owen Submachine Gun is used by British troops.
PPSh-41
Used by Soviet soldiers. It is fed with 71-round drum magazines instead of stick magazines.
PPS-43
Soviet shock troop members are equipped with PPS-43s.
Reising M50
SIG M1920
Japanese squads like the "Pioneers", "Scout", and the "SMG Gunners" are armed with the SIG Bergmann which is incorrectly named the "Type 100". It is only available in multiplayer or in the editor.
Sten Mk. V
The Sten Mk V, used by British soldiers, is incorrectly called "Sten Mk.1" in-game.
Shotgun
Double Barreled Shotgun
The "Shotgun" is a left-over from Faces of War (The second game in the MOW series before the name was branded to Men of War in English speaking countries) from the "Chicken Hunt" joke game mode where one player used a Shotgun to stop other players stealing their chickens, while it's not used in any official MOW content as the mode was not carried over, it can be placed/given to units in the editor and used for custom missions and uses "AT Rifle" ammo.
The weapon's functionality appears to change from game to game, it appears to crash the editor when fired in Men of War but is fully functional in at least Men of War: Vietnam
Rifles
All rifles in-game use the same "Rifle Ammo".
Arisaka Type 38
The Arisaka Type 38 appears incorrectly as the "Type 99" and is used by Imperial Japanese soldiers.
Arisaka Type 97
The scoped Arisaka is the Type 97 sniper rifle.
De Lisle Carbine
The De Lisle Carbine is used by the Allied Elite unit in multiplayer mode. It holds 7 rounds of "Rifle Ammo".
FG-42
The FG 42 is used by the Fallschirmjäger (German Paratroopers, hence the "FG" 42) in multiplayer mode. Like the STG-44, the FG-42 in game- is also classified as an SMG. It holds 20 rounds of "Pistol Ammo".
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is used by German soldiers.
Karabiner 98k Scoped
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I
Called "EM-3" in-game, the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I is used by British Riflemen. It holds 10 Rounds of "Rifle Ammo" and the rate of fire is the same as other bolt action rifles. In Assault Squad a version of the Lee-Enfield firing exclusively rifle grenades is used by Assault Squad leaders, it has a fairly lenghty reload and like the M79 from Vietnam, it is fired upwards into the air for the grenade to arc downwards onto the target.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I (T)
