Units
Human Units
Humans are the only one that can capture buildings so in any non pre-deployed you have to build human units. Human capture building at the same rate as their Hp (unless your sami or using a force). Each building has 20 points when it reachs 0 the building is captured. The counter is restart when a unit walks off the building or is destoryed. Human units get +3 vision on mountains but that only effects Fog of War.
Infantry
Cost: 1000
Movement: 3
Movement type: Foot
Vision: 2 (5 on mountains)
Primary Weapon: None
2nd Weapon: Machine Gun
Thoughts: Infantry will are useful as meatshield and for capturing building due to them being faster than mechs. Infantry are normally killed in 2 hits by almost every unit except a few CO that get an attack bonus, Grimm would be an example. building a few Infantry to protect Indirect units is great defense even better when using Grit as a CO.
Mech
Cost: 3000
Movement: 2
Movement type: Mech
Vision: 2 (5 on mountains)
Primary Weapon: Bazooka
2nd Weapon: Machine Gun
Thoughts: VERY cost effective. Mech can do some serious damage to Tank($7000) and Racon($4000). they are good as meatshield too. A way to win is to do a mech flood with COs like Sami and Sensei, but don't except to get a good score.
Direct Vehicles
These are what will be used the most. Neo tanks, Tanks and Anti-air are probably the most cost effective. Jess is the master of land based vechiles units but Max, kanbei, Grimm and Hawke are good too.
