Axis generals respond to the ubiquitousness of enemy fire by deploying their new Axis Armored Transport. This hulking transport unit is a new sight on battlefields around the world, and its ability to shelter valuable infantry as it carries them safely past light rifle fire has granted new tactical advantages to the Axis military.

Axis engineers have developed two primary configurations for the Armored Transport, both of which are becoming increasingly popular among Axis commanders. The Prinzluther marks the game's debut of the Command Vehicle skill.

Any unit with the Command Squad skill or NCO Command Squad skill that takes shelter within its plated hull can still communicate with the outside world via the Prinzluther's modern communications arrays, antennas, and radars. More heavily armed than the Prinzluther, the Sturmprinz can transport six soldiers on the inside with its Carry Capacity, and can still carry six more Tank Riders on the outside.
