Riflemen can be generated very quickly and for a fraction of the cost of any other unit, and prove extremely effective when massed together.
Riflemen make good base defense, cannon fodder, and front-line assault troops.
They also present a significant threat to enemy tanks, whose shells are not accurate enough to hit the agile troops directly. Resist the urge to purchase only the most expensive units at your disposal, and always make sure that several riflemen escort any of your assault teams. A vast platoon of riflemen can make short work of any other land-based unit in the game. Ziff-Davis UK Limited.
