Following on from its reveal of a new commander for Wargroove last week, developer and publisher Chucklefish has now introduced two brand new units coming soon in the free DLC update.
These units include the Thief and the Rifleman. The Thief is described as the "sneakiest unit" and can fill their knapsack with 300 gold by ransacking enemy buildings, or can steal up to 1000 gold if they manage to pull off a heist on an enemy stronghold. Of course, they'll still need some assistance from other units to achieve this.
The Rifleman is described as an "expert marksman" with limited ammo – meaning players will need to keep an eye on how many shots this unit has left, to avoid stopping to reload out in the open. This deadly shot can also land critical hits when they're down to their last few bullets.
Chucklefish will be showing off this upcoming free DLC update for Wargroove at EGX 2019. If you can't make it, it will also be streaming the DLC "soon" over on Twitch.
What do you think of the new units? Leave a comment below.

Still haven't gotten this game...I want to get it, but...I wanna get the Steam version once it supports Workshop. >.<
Ohhh I've been meaning to pick this game back up again! New units and a new commander in a free DLC is certainly good motivation!
I’d have liked to got this physical for switch it’s a fun and challenging little game.
Curious if this will be part of the 2.0 balance patch they mentioned a few months back.
@PBandSmelly Yup, this is the Advance Wars successor we've been waiting for for years. It's got a few unique features of its own, so it's not just a carbon copy. If you liked Advance Wars, you'll like Wargroove.
I like this game and would welcome the further unit variety. It plays a lot like a board game that you can actually play by yourself if needed
I like it too! I think it is better than Advance Wars games. It has more strategy on it but without being so much complex. Some missions are difficult but you can adjust the difficulty meter and pass through them. I liked the story, the characters and music. Multiplayer is massive too! Also it does not feel like a copy paste from Advance Wars. It has its own soul. Great job developers!
Does this game support online-multiplayer to battle against others?
I grabbed this game but it felt incredibly underwhelming. I'll admit I expected the gameplay to feel as snappy and fluid as say Disgaea, but this turned out not to be the case. Haven't picked it up since.
Thanks Chucklefish!
Nice! But do we know when they'll release this free DLC?
Cool. I kind of wish each faction had some signature unit for themselves as well though. Like a cannon for the Eastern guys, ghosts for Fellheim, some special cavalry for Cherrystone and a beast for Florans. And then thieves for Outlaws.
Everyone having the same units aside from the Commander is getting boring after a while.
me too, I grabbed, but I needed to stop, to play Hollowknight i think.. I have to return ASAP, but the backlog does not stop growing.. I bought hellblade and im in the very end of astral chain..
@SmaggTheSmug agreed 200%! they should have differences.. at least smalls ones..
@Bankaj yes
Had a blast with this game, great news.
This sounds like a neat update and totally free too? I just might have to check it out. Sounds like a great excuse to dive back into this game.
@TYRANACLES Physical comes out soon.
I guess this won’t be included on the card on the physical edition right?
Since I was reading this article I'm no more interested in anything Chucklefish:

I absolutely love Advance Wars as I've played through all of them on the hardest difficulty, so when I started playing Wargroove, well, I still haven't stopped since it's release months ago. I estimate that I've spent at least 50 hrs playing it from playing all modes, especially trying to master (i.e. S-rank) the campaign levels.
I feel a bit "dirty" as I looked up a puzzle level solution, and recommend to players to try EVERYTHING related to improving movement range and such like taking out a seemingly minimal enemy - it all counts.
TL;DR: Advance Wars homage with unique heart and soul, and amazing value. Get it now!
@sanya_exe you haven't missed anything. The game was way over hyped and not that fun.
@Heavyarms55 nah, not worth picking up still. Not that fun of a game.
@Grant007 No, it's a fantastic game, not over hype in the least. You're just a troll.
