state of the artgeneral notesBuild infantry only on demand. Use 2 or 3 Barracks / Hands Of NOD to get them out quickly. Infantry is a great force versus Recon Bikes: Infantry gets very little damage from Recon Bikes. Infantry cannot be squished by Recon Bikes. I.e. Infantry stops Recon Bikes like a wall. Infantry do good damage to Recon Bikes. Most NOD-Players rely on Recon-Bikes. But those Bikes suck versus Infantry (Minigun-Infantry, Rocket Soldier, Grenadier, Flame Thrower, Chem. Warrior). Don't use a Commando versus Bikes. Don't build them to get squished by Your opponent's APC. I love to build an APC and drive through my opponent's base squishing soldiers worth a fortune. I have the APC empty. My opponent is in hurry to build more soldiers for killing engineers. But there is none in. He lose his money and I lose my driving license because of driving over people. Hey, they didn't use the sidewalk! If You use infantry spread them with the "x"-key. Always. (I love stupids who position 5 soldiers on bridges or gaps. Keep them there, I'll visit You!) Attack tanks from all sides at once. So the tank can squish only single soldiers and get killed. I strongly recommend Rocket-Soldiers as anti-tank-force. Grenadiers have good power too, but they hit moving targets less accurately. Use the "g"-guard-mode for infantry. Let them select their target on their own. If You select their target they will follow the tank in a single group. The tank will turn around and squish all at once. Infantry is very little used in multi play. I had a game (GDI-GDI) where I got engineered. He drove with 2 Engineers in an APC several times into my base. I couldn't prevent to lose my Weapons Factory and Construction Yard. But I had 2 Barracks! I built lots of Grenadiers and Rocket-Soldiers and won the game against all odds. I used the Grenadiers against his infantry and some buildings and the Rocket-Men against his Apaches, Tanks, Harvesters and buildings too. The key is to scatter the infantry. He relied on tanks and helis. In another game (LAN: GDI-MacMark versus GDI and NOD) I won too. Why?
I lost all 2 Weapons Factories and the Construction Yard. But with 2 Barracks I won this game too. In both described games I lost 1 of the 2 Barracks too. But it doesn't matter. I strongly recommend (my favorite words!) having 2 barracks and building infantry only on demand. They come out very quickly and You don't waste money. In both games I finished them off with infantry taking out their bases. general cautions
