EFFECTIVENESS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

This commander prefers infantry units, using his own experience as a soldier and junior officer to lead them. Infantry under his command have excellent combat training – storm troopers, antitank infantry, and snipers are very effective. To fortify a defensive position, this commander relies on machine gun pillboxes, mortars, and antitank hedgehogs.
