STRATAGEMS FOR SUCCESS Brigadier Betty's tips Need a broader view of the battlefield?Invoke Global Mode by pressing any direction on to raise the camera and improve your situational awareness. Colonel Austin's tips Anti-air missiles can't track aircraft below radar altitude; if you hear a missile lock-on warning sound when flying a plane or gunship, dive low to avoid enemy missiles!Tactical deployment is essential for success; use Bazooka troops against enemy armored vehicles, but don't expect them to have an easy time against Rifle troops. Flame troops can take down enemy infantry in a jiffy at short range, but they can't offer much resistance to tanks. You can control transfer to distant units via the Map Screen; just move your crosshair over the unit you want to transfer to and press . If you attempt to go AWOL, you will be brought back onto the battlefield by your CO. When defending an area, put your infantry into positions where they can take advantage of cover to minimize the damage they suffer. Use Recons to scout out the enemy positions and issue rapid deployment orders. These vehicles may be lightly armored, but their speed allows you to gain command of a large area. 19 18 Flame UNIT DOSSIER Armed with "THERMIDOR" high-pressure incendiary projector Combat Role Short ranged anti- infantry/ open vehicles. Nothing strikes fear into an opponent more than the sight of a Flame Veteran advancing through cover to close quarter combat range. Amongst tightly packed groups of infantry they are the most devastating troops available, but against armored vehicles they can do little more than scorch the paint. Infantry Rifle Grunts Armed with M17 Fully automatic assault rifle Combat Role Long ranged anti-infantry One on one, Grunts are weaker than most Veterans, but in sufficient numbers they are very useful shock troops. Grunts have the longest range of any infantry unit which can make their deployment decisive on an open battlefield Bazooka Armed with Low Recoil Rocket Propelled Projectile Launcher Combat Role Mid ranged anti-armor. Vulnerable to other infantry Bazooka Veterans are ideal for dealing with the threat of enemy tanks. A few well-placed high explosive projectiles can turn even the most impressive battle machine into a heap of smoking junk. Unfortunately their projectiles have a very low muzzle velocity which makes them relatively easy to dodge for more agile enemies. Assault Armed with BELT fed M70 heavy caliber machine gun. Combat Role Mid ranged anti-infantry / light antiarmor / aircraft Although inaccurate at extreme long range, the sheer volume of heavy caliber bullets that Assault veterans produce means that they are deadly against all infantry types, and reasonably effective against the more lightly armored vehicles. Missile Armed with Radar guided Silverfish anti-air missiles Combat Role Mid ranged anti-air. The sight of that distinctive curving smoke trail means freedom for troops pinned down by enemy aircraft. But the missiles are easily confused by ground scatter, against land-based units they cannot achieve lock-on and simply spiral out of control. 20 21 Mortar Armed with "Groundhog" 50mm Parabolic grenade launcher. Targets enemies behind walls and cover The ability of Mortar veterans to fire over walls and defenses makes them invaluable for dealing with heavily entrenched opposition.
