During World War II, the British army was often greatly outnumbered and outgunned by the massive German war machine. Realising this, British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, inspired by the Boers fought by the British in Africa, proposed the creation of small, elite groups of infantry operating behind enemy lines, not just as a means of causing as much damage with as few men as possible, but also to raise morale at home. He stated; "they must be prepared with specially trained troops of the hunter class who can develop a reign of terror down the enemy coast. A butcher and bolt approach". These "Commandos" (from the Dutch-Boer word Kommando) could strike the enemy's rear with surgical precision, collect much-needed intelligence, and sow chaos into the enemy's plans.

| - During World War II, the British army was often greatly outnumbered and outgunned by the massive German war machine. Realising this, British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, inspired by the Boers fought by the British in Africa, proposed the creation of small, elite groups of infantry operating behind enemy lines, not just as a means of causing as much damage with as few men as possible, but also to raise morale at home. He stated; "they must be prepared with specially trained troops of the hunter class who can develop a reign of terror down the enemy coast. A butcher and bolt approach". These "Commandos" (from the Dutch-Boer word Kommando) could strike the enemy's rear with surgical precision, collect much-needed intelligence, and sow chaos into the enemy's plans. A typical commando unit would be about battalion sized and known as a "Commando". In reality, there was never any organisation, regiment or even commando known as the Royal Commandos, although with the sheer number and dizzying variety of Commando units in the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, coupled with artistic license (and a need to keep continuity with her sister support companies) so born are the "Royal Commandos". With the Royal Commandos Support Tech Tree, the British player is given access to Commando Gliders which can be landed anywhere on the battle map, spawning both elite infantry and light tanks. These units have good speed and sufficiently heavy firepower to locate and make surprise attacks on the enemy's weakest spots. They also possess unique abilities that allow them to control the flow of battle, engaging and disengaging at will to keep the enemy guessing and to avoid capture or destruction. In coordination with battalion-level intelligence officers, the Royal Commandos Support company can utilize detection and code-breaking techniques to maintain a superiority in information: knowing which units the enemy has on the field, where they are, and thus where best to strike and which areas to avoid. Because of its high reliance on micro-management and skillful tactics, the Royal Commandos Support tech tree is considered to be the most interesting (if not the most enjoyable) tech tree available to the British. It is by far the most offensively-oriented tech tree for this faction.
