Pakosc Student Division	Description
Maura Judyta (S1-S3)	Soldato Judyta was in charge of the Paksoc Student Division between 1964 and 1967. In the series she is shown to be an incredibly talented and quick thinking commander, but the losses and constant sounds of combat are shown to weigh heavily on her mind. After surviving an ambush in Season 3 she suffers a mental breakdown and is relieved of her command.
Felicja Giorgia (S1-S4)	Soldato Giorgia was a member and eventual commander of the Paksoc Student Division. Initially she is an assistant to Private Judyta (and is shown planning several successful operations) but following the ambush in Season Three she is promoted to overall command.

In S3 Leonhard is arrested and executed for treason after she refuses to lead an attack against a field hospital.
Elise Konstanze (S1-S3)	Sub-Lieutenant Konstanze was a member of the 1st Assault Regiment, a rather soft spoken individual she serves as the regiment's main battlefield medic and is often seen fixing wounds in the heat of battle. In Season 2 she is almost executed for treason after she is accused of treating enemy combatants, but her father's political connections save her. After witnessing the aftermath of the ambush in Season 3 Konstanze suffers a mental breakdown and is smuggled to Epping to receive treatment.
Hannes Gert (S1-S2)	Soldato Gert was a member of the 1st Assault Regiment. In between fighting he constantly complains about the lack of decent food and several times shares his plan to open up a restaurant once the war is over. In Season 2 he is killed during an offensive operation.

Reception

When Pakosc: Total War was released it immediately became the most popular TV series in the country, praised for its gritty realism and occassional humour the series maintained its popularity throughout its entire run. Since 2013 the series has also gained noteriety online with several online communities dedicated to created fanart, fanfiction and cosplaying as various characters and factions from the show.

In New Dornalia, the show is, like that other famous import "Adventurer High," a cult hit which airs on HTB on Monday nights. Critics have noted it is a "fresh, gritty antidote to the usual combat shows," and no less than Henrietta Collins herself, heroine of the Civil War and author of the best-selling memoir "There Are Many Battles," has said of the show: "I don't usually watch war movies. I've lived war, and it's not as fun as the shows would tell you. This show got it right." There is also a licensed comic book adaptation done by notoriously reclusive and anti-superheroic writer Alasdair Lynch and illustrator Tsukiko Shirabayashi which is also popular.
