[edit] Ground
[edit] Infantry
The Infantry unit is the basic Ground unit, and is the cheapest, with a base cost of 1000. It is the weakest of all units offensively, and it's main strengths lie in its ability to capture buildings.
Use to attack: Infantry
Can Attack: Copters, Ground
[edit] Mech
The Mech unit is a step up from the Infantry; it costs 3000 and is slower than the Infantry, only being able to move two squares in open terrain, but packs a rocket launcher that is used against vehicles to great effect. Like the Infantry, it can also capture buildings. Also, the Mech's movement is not affected on mountains.
Use to attack: Infantry, Ground
Can Attack: Copters
[edit] Recon
The Recon unit is the cheapest vehicle available, but is both very fast - especially on roads - and can kill Infantry or Mech units easily. Also, when playing on maps with Fog of War activated, they have a greater line of sight than most other units.
Use to attack: Infantry
Can Attack: Copters, Ground
[edit] APC
The APC unit is the troop carrier of the game - it cannot attack, as it has no weapons, but can transport one unit of either Infantry or Mech, supply any units it is next to and also soak up a lot of fire before being destroyed.
This unit cannot attack
[edit] Tank
The Tank is the first anti-armour vehicle - it can move over a relatively long distance thanks to its tracks and is useful against both infantry, with the machine guns, and light vehicles such as Recons or enemy Tanks with their cannons.
