Wargame's playable factions are the Warsaw Pact, which is subdivided
into the Soviet Union, Communist Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia; and NATO,
which is subdivided into the United States of America, United Kingdom, France, West
Germany, Canada, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Players can choose various units from the
subfactions of the side they are playing on, unlocking new units or improved variants as
they progress. In all, there are just over 800 historical units recreated to varying
degrees of accuracy in Wargame: AirLand Battle. Each country has its own arsenal of
units, reflecting their military doctrine. It is possible to create a
'deck' or battlegroup focusing on various criteria, with the option to
mix units from multiple nations' armories.
