Base Development of Oberkommando West (OKW, German) - Remote Headquarters Deployment
Command Headquarters - the main building of Oberkommando West, capable of building an sWS Supply Half-track, which can be deployed to one of the available headquarters:
- Battlegroup Headquarters
- Mechanized Regiment Headquarters
- Schwerer Panzer Headquarters (requires deployment of a Battlegroup Headquarters or Mechanized Regiment Headquarters).
Once deployed, sWS Supply Half-track disappears. Headquarters can be deployed both in the base territory and in any captured territory. After deploying all three headquarters and completing the Panzer authorization upgrade, the Tiger B Königstiger can be delivered.

The fortifications doctrine commander allows for the construction of bunkers, Pak 43 and planting mines of Wehrmacht Ostheer.
- Medicine (perfect) In the Battlegroup Headquarters, you can make an improvement to heal the squads around (in a 2v2 game, when both play for the Oberkommando West, they usually put the Battlegroup Headquarters between two bases so that one headquarters heals the units of both players).

B - the strongest anti-tank SPG in the game, attacks tanks from a long distance, but requires anti-tank protection from the flanks.
- Multiple launch rocket system (perfect) SdKfz 251 Stuka zu Fuß Half-track is effective against blobs, crews and light vehicles; if used properly, it is capable of destroying several squads. Unlike Katyusha and Panzerwerfer, the shells fall sequentially along the specified line, which allows you to guess the line of retreat of the enemy infantry and finish off the retreating ones.
