The 3rd Shock Army has had a colorful history, stretching from its creation at the beginning of the [[Panselle War]] to its failed Crown Head campaign. Originally formed to ciunter the Akaeian offensive over the Salis, the 3rd was thrown into the bloody maelstrom that was Marbicourt. There they proved their worth by turning back the Akaeian army from [[Saint Michele]] and earned its commander, General Anton Poiret, great praise from the King.

The 3rd Shock Army numbers 45,000 as a standard: however, the number fluctuates.
