Tactics

• M1 Garand and M1 Carbine are most effective at medium and close range against Wehrmacht Kar98k rifles.
• Riflemen are versatile units that can deal with all kinds of threats, chose your upgrade carefully.
• Global squad upgrades can be purchased from the barracks, all riflemen will receive the upgrades.
• Grenades are good for clearing buildings, enemies in heavy cover and against groups of enemy infantry.
• Sticky bombs can be used to disable vehicles, they are quite effective against light vehicles but it cannot destroy tanks effectively, only slow them down.
• Suppression fire available after BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) upgrade can suppress enemy infantry squads very quickly.
• Use BAR suppression and grenades in combination to give enemy infantry squads a very nasty surprise.
• Make large groups of BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) rifleman squads are deadly against almost every other infantry group.
• Always get your Riflemen to pick up dropped Panzershrecks as it will make your Riflemen deadly anti-tank infantry. If your Riflemen squad has a Panzershreck, throw a sticky bomb to slow down enemy tanks and destroy it with your Panzershreck. Bazooka, PIAT, and Recoilless Rifles aren't bad, but the Panzsershreck is the better choice.
