#WARGAME RED DRAGON DECK GUIDE UPGRADE#

Light infantry is an upgrade similar to marines.

Unfortunately bringing a card for just that job is too luxurious for most decks, and it requires a lot of foresight to know in advance where youвЂ™ll be doing such crossings, so militia is rarely used. Thus, theyвЂ™re the best infantry to lead an open space crossing вЂ“ itвЂ™s inevitable that the infantry doing the crossing will take some damage until it establishes a bridgehead into a forest or town, and militia minimizes the losses from that. With militia, you can get 10 health for 10 points. The only thing they excel at is HP вЂ“ even with regulars, the cheapest you can get is 10 health for 15 points including transport.

In return, it abandons both traits you want infantry for in the first place -infantry killing power and AT. Militia is the cheapest type of infantry you can get.

When I talked about types of fighting infantry, I skipped two as they are less important for a newbie to care about. Wheeled and helicopter transports on the other hand are most useful for the opening landgrab, and for quick reinforcement of vulnerable sectors and overextended pushes during the midgame. The other important dimension transports differ in is speed.В Generally the higher speed of helos and wheeled vehicles is offset by a higher price, leaving cost-effective midgame reinforcement to tracked carriers. Pick with an eye to how you use the infantry вЂ“ something that will mostly operate in deep forest or town probably doesnвЂ™t need an expensive transport, something that pushes or defends open ground should have a transport capable of providing cover, maybeВ fighting off other transports, maybe even fighting off tanks. ThereвЂ™s other ground weapons available, including ATGM, cheap HEAT cannons,В very high-end autocannons. Grenade launchers donвЂ™t dominate the open ground the way autocannons do, but theyвЂ™reВ a bit better at support within a forest, stunning and panicking even with the shortest of bursts. Grenade launcher transports cost similar to autocannon armed ones despite being nowhere near as versatile. On the other hand since 2AV transports are both hard to oneshot and likely to die with little overkill if a oneshot does occur, you can delay the unload time for the infantry being transported by quite a bit. As trucks only have 5 health and 0 armor (which effectively doubles all damage), this makes it really bad to be in an exploding truck.

When a ground transport is killed, the amount of infantry that survives the explosion is determined by the amount of overkill the transport took. The biggest difference by far is the jump between 1 and 2 armor вЂ“ due to some non-linear scalingВ in the armor formula, 1 armor is dramatically easier to oneshot by tanks and even WW2 RPG, whereas 2 armor requires a modern RPG (16AP) or a high-end tank to destroy in one shot. Transports come with a wide variety of armor. SomeВ decks areВ genuinely crippled by a lack of good midrangeВ transport options вЂ“ always taking the cheapest option is a tempting but poor choice. Choosing what your infantry comes in is just as important as the infantry itself. I wasnвЂ™t alone if I got a penny for every time IвЂ™ve seen someoneВ lament the lack of 1pt trucks, IвЂ™d be payingВ for an editor. When I was starting out, I tended to think of transports as that expensive thing IвЂ™m forced to buy to inflate the price of my infantry.
