They are mostly available by selecting certain commanders. Specialized Infantry – They are infantry that provide unique tactical advantages that may help you in combat a lot when used efficiently, even be game changers during the early and mid game phases. They require you to use fuel and time to unlock them, but they provide you better infantry that can provide more tactical opportunities that may help you in the game a lot. Teched-up Infantry – As the name says so, these are infantry that you get as you get better tech. Expect them to die a lot because of such, but their survival and utilities are vital to any combat scenario you’ll face. They will face the brunt of the assault of the enemy and they’re the brunt of your assault. Line Infantry – These are infantry you’ll mostly use in the game almost all the time, as they can pretty much counter everything once properly equipped or well supported. (Below are the units it corresponds for each faction) They’re pretty much the infantry you need to get most things done on what they can. Let us take a few definition I might coin here for ease of discussing on what I’m trying to inform.īasic Infantry – These are infantry that are very accessible and will provide the player basic necessities early game like capturing points and handling enemy infantry early game.

Like pushing a pawn from A2 to A4 on the first move, the white player can get a rook out so early that can help tip the favor to his advantage. Although most build orders are meant to help you get what you need, sometimes an unusual selection of units can lead to very interesting setups that can tip the favor to that player. Putting that into the perspective of CoH2, this is where build orders gets situational, where your planned build order execution now has to adjust to the current battlefield situation. This guide is like that, where it helps you understand tricks that can help you get what you want faster, although like a Chess opening, getting what you want out doesn’t mean you got what you need, sometimes you need that bishop out in position first but then your knight is blocking the way and now you need to sacrifice some turns to get it into position, and that basically means your opponent now has an initiative advantage in terms of getting one’s strategy in place. In chess, you can follow some openings which you can follow and execute which can help you attain what you want faster.
