HINTS & TIPS:
Assign them all over the map.

  • In the early stage of game, Rifle Infantry is the ideal unit to send for scouting the entire map. Even though might not scout the entire map, but at least must know where is the opponents' bases are.

    • NEVER:
    Assign ONLY Infantries to attack heavy vehicles.

  • The opponents love the "Squishing" sound when vehicles run over them.
