人们目前仍在争论苏联和盟军，究竟哪方打响了战争第一枪，但目前可以肯定的是，盟军各国都处于守势。这一点在维和步兵师团上体现得尤为淋漓尽致，比起常规士兵，他们更像是身着重甲的镇暴警察。这可不是巧合，正如他们的名称一样，维和步兵曾经的任务是给饱受战乱的国家带去秩序，而现在他们却以遏制苏联疯狂扩张为名，在前线与苏联作战。维和步兵也许数量不多，但装备精良，且在上战场前都受过很好的训练。
纽约警方高官、美国军方和一个由盟军最高层副官与战略家组成的专家小组共同建立了维和部队项目。起初，这个项目的成果备受争议，因为盟军给这些士兵开绿灯，进行了全面训练，但主要训练近身火拼而非原野作战，可目前维和步兵已经开始往前线部署，对抗苏联的动员兵师团。注意，只有在面对苏联军队时，维和步兵才有权置使用致命火力，盟军方面曾承诺恪守该命令，但目前从未付诸行动。毕竟，维和步兵们都经受过相同的训练生活，最后也都发誓说要支持那些需要他们保护的人。与他们的使命相对应，维和步兵的装备保护性十足，可以有效守护平民和伙伴。
维和步兵的首次作战便让批评者们哑口无言，但苏联却为此大为恼火。维和步兵的重型盾牌能有效抵抗苏联军队的轻火力打击，而比利时制的霰弹枪则能出色地对抗大群动员兵。总之，这个就是盟军的大胆战略。盟军以完全固守的姿态，应对苏联的猛烈进攻，前线战士们现能在边境各处抵挡住苏联军队的攻势。维和步兵投入部署后不久，就证实他们在与其他盟军步兵协同作战时表现更为出色，如德国种的军犬和重武器专家标枪兵都是其好伙伴。
不过也很显然，维和步兵并没有完全对得起其名号。自从维和步兵正式成为盟军的一员后，他们在许多对敌遭遇战都取得了胜利。维和步兵以小队形式行动最佳，其中一人举着盾牌掩护，其他人缩在盾牌后，一步一步，不断拉近与敌人的距离，直到Grummond-8可以打出猛烈一击，将一个全副武装的大汗打个倒栽葱。整个过程中，玻璃面罩后面的人都活像一个无名英雄，至少，值勤的时候是像。维和步兵项目也没问世多久，这些士兵在战场上的举手投足却堪称模范，且在盟军要员所批准的零星采访中也以勇敢和谦逊示人。维和步兵有许多危险工作要做，当盟军有理由相信某处会爆发战争时，他们还要负责撤离该城区内的平民。
战场笔记： 通过战地侦察，已获悉维和步兵至少具有以下几个特征：
迅速开盾——有需要时，维和步兵可以收起霰弹枪，展开防暴盾牌。虽然这两件装备都有些大，维和步兵不能同时使用，不过经过训练，他们早已能迅速地切换两种装备来作战。
物有所值——许多军事分析家一致认同维和步兵比历史上任何的盟军前线步兵都要出色。但这一切来得并不便宜，与苏联不同，盟军在招收维和新兵时谨小慎微。
对车不力——维和步兵是反步兵专精，他们的大件装备并不适合对抗敌方装甲部队。由于装备沉重，维和步兵不能泅渡，且他们的霰弹枪也不好对付苏联的空中巡逻队。
清除驻军——维和步兵装备充足，能应对要塞化的敌方建筑。利用盾牌，维和步兵可以轻易拉近距离，只要建筑里的敌对势力不是很多，他们就能将其镇压。一旦能在安全的建筑内作战，维和步兵的表现就会更为出色。

history
While debate rages on about who fired the first shots of the war between the Soviet Union and the Allied nations, there is little denying that the Allied nations are now on the defensive. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Allies' employ of its peacekeeper divisions, who resemble heavily armored riot police more so than conventional soldiers. This is no coincidence, as the peacekeepers once were responsible for bringing order to war-torn nations, as their moniker suggests. However, these men are now on the front lines of war against the Soviet Union. Peacekeepers may be relatively few in number, yet they are outfitted with superior equipment and given excellent training before they're sent to risk their lives in the name of putting a stop to the Soviet Union's inhumane expansionist agenda.
The peacekeeper program was jointly developed in the United States by top-ranking New York City police officials, the U.S. Army, and a panel of Allied top aides and strategists. The results of the program were controversial at first: The Allies green-lighted the full-scale training of forces suitably armed for heavy close-quarters combat, rather than for open battle, yet began deploying the peacekeepers in frontline encounters versus Soviet conscript divisions. Mind you, only when faced with such enemies are the peacekeepers authorized to use deadly force, and the Allies have committed to strictly enforcing this yet never had to. After all, peacekeepers all undergo the same strict regimen and ultimately swear the same oath in support of those in need of their protection. In keeping with their mandate, peacekeepers' accessories are highly protective in nature, allowing them to effectively guard civilians--or one another.
When brandishing their full-sized shields, peacekeepers can easily withstand a hail of enemy gunfire. Shown here is an early design sketch of the peacekeepers' standard uniform.
The results of initial combat encounters silenced critics of the peacekeeper program, while incensing the Soviets. The peacekeepers' heavy shields provided them with ample protection against Soviet small-arms fire, while their Belgian-made shotguns proved remarkably effective against the conscripts' superior numbers. This, then, was the Allies' daring strategy. By adopting a thoroughly defensive posture against the reckless Soviet advances, the Allies' frontline fighters could dam the flow of Soviet forces across international borders. The peacekeepers soon proved even more effective when working alongside the Allies' other infantry forces, ranging from its German-bred attack dogs to Javelin-class heavy-weapons specialists.
Clearly, however, the peacekeepers have not yet lived up to their name. Nevertheless, they have prevailed in many hostile encounters since they were formally introduced into the Allied arsenal. They tend to work best in small squads, huddling behind one of their shield-bearing brethren, all while steadily closing the distance with their foes--where one good shot from a Grummond-8 can send even a strong, well-armored man teetering head over heels. Through it all, the men behind the visors remain virtually anonymous, at least while on duty. While the peacekeeper program is still fairly new, peacekeepers have exemplified highly appropriate battlefield conduct, and present themselves bravely and modestly during the few interviews Allied brass has cleared. Among their many dangerous responsibilities, peacekeepers are also tasked with clearing urban areas of civilian presence when the Allies have reasonable suspicion that war is on its way.
notes
Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Peacekeepers:
• Quick-draw shield technique -- Peacekeepers are remarkably capable of switching from their shotguns to their shields as the need arises. Though the two devices are too bulky to be used simultaneously, peacekeepers are trained to be quick enough on the draw to overcome this.
• No expense spared -- Many military analysts are reaching the same conclusion: peacekeepers are a more-effective fighting force than almost any frontline infantry division in history. However, this doesn't come cheap, nor are the Allies as liberal as the Soviets when accepting new recruits into their ranks.
• Vulnerable to vehicles -- Peacekeepers are highly specialized against enemy infantry, but their bulky equipment makes them poorly suited against enemy armor. Their equipment is also too heavy to swim in, and their shotguns aren't suitable against the Soviets' roving air patrols.
• Clearing house -- Peacekeepers are equipped to deal with fortified enemy structures. They can effectively close the distance with their shields, then neutralize any hostiles inside, so long as they're not outnumbered. Once fighting from a secured structure, peacekeepers can be even more effective.
