Fifth Column.... I miss beating up Nazis

[Diacius]

If I remember correctly they were replaced in the story when the company decided to release the game in Germany (back then you couldn't have anything related to that fascist regime on a product if I'm not mistaken).

I kind of miss their old bases and icons and foiling their plans time and again.

Does anyone else have fond memories of the Fifth Column?

[Avoca]

Pretty sure I saw 5th column in a mission the other day.

[Thramack]

They essentially were taken over from the inside by The Council in a fairly bloody take over.

[Diacius]

AH, I thought they were taken over by the Council. All I see are Penumbra troops now. Maybe you saw the 5th in one of the time-travelling missions? Or another dimension one?

I did see some Fifth Column on the streets of Steel Canyon. Not seen any in missions yet though.

[Overclock]

The Fifth  Column got replaced by the Council during one of the early in-game events. I think that was the first mob-vs-mob battles we had.

 

Flash forward towards the end of the games run and one of the later issues brought the Fifth column back - so you can get in all the Nazi-Punching goodness that you like.

I had a 5 column mission that appeared to be a one off mission in AP.  I think it was level 5 mission.
