When Axis forces are deploying genetically modified horrors that can swoop from the sky or burst from the shadows in a flurry of rending teeth and slashing claws, even the most stout-hearted of Commonwealth infantry can falter in the face of such horrors. What is to be done? Remove the heart from the equation! The seamless fusion of Alan Turing's tireless research and Rift-tech results in the Automated Infantry: fearless automatons that stride through the heaviest firepower, staring into the face of unspeakable monstrosities without blinking. They don't even have eyelids.

The HMG-armed Automated Infantry make a great addition to any Assault Platoon in Konflikt '47, since weaponry with a Penetration value in the game can make a huge difference. With monsters and powered armour striding around impervious to small arms fire, even the humble, obsolescent anti-tank rifle has a place on the battlefield. Churning out a wall of heavy-hitting lead, these Browning-toting robots can cut a swathe through enemy defences for your regular infantry to exploit. At least, that's the plan!
