Swarms of Fully promoted Conscripts can be effective against most ground threats.Quickly promoted due to it's cheap price.Cheapest infantry unit in the game ($100).After the Soviet time travel incident that led to the War of the Three Powers, conscripts were equipped with Molotov Cocktails to clear garrisoned buildings. They removed their heavier plating and armed them with more powerful AK-47s, making them more powerful than Allied Peacemakers. However, prism tanks can vaporize multiple conscripts at once.Īfter the Psychic Dominator Disaster, the Soviets decided to make conscripts lighter and faster. If playing as Yuri, conscripts serve as a cheaper additional power source for bio reactors.Ĭonscripts can overpower prism towers as they only target one Conscript at a time. Send them ahead as a bullet magnet: it is better for a few conscripts to fry or become mind-controlled, than for your tank crews to suffer such a fate. Against Tesla coils and psychic towers or other psychic units, they serve as a very useful, expendable meat shield for tanks. They can also garrison any key buildings they find along the way to form a fall-back position. A group of accompanying conscripts will cheaply stop Chrono Legionnaire attacks. They can outrange, outrun and fry conscripts by the dozen.

However, artillery units can attack them with impunity when garrisoned, especially prism tanks. If maps are lacking in usable structures, then battle bunkers may be constructed (in Yuri's Revenge only). They are most useful when they garrison a structure, which removes their vulnerability and increases their firepower considerably. While large hordes of them can overwhelm the occasional tank, it is ill-advised to train them as they are very easily and cheaply countered, making armies of conscripts very cost-ineffective. However, they were not trained to swim (a problem affecting many Soviet infantry, including Boris).Ĭonscripts are incredibly vulnerable in the open. Some conscripts were also trained as paratroopers. They were armed with a PPSh-41 sub-machine gun and a revolver, and protected by metal breastplates worn over brown greatcoats and bulky respiration equipment built into their suit. The USSR and their affiliated states preferred to use conscripted soldiers to comprise the bulk for their military.
