Nuclear Red Guard
 |
Trained in pairs, the Red Guard forms the backbone of China's infantry legions. Armed with a bolt-action rifle, Red Guards don't fire very rapidly but do good damage against ground units. In groups, they gain a Horde Bonus which increases their rate of fire. Big groups of Red Guards can be a serious threat even to armored vehicles. Tao's Red Guard uses miniaturized depleted uranium ammunition, dealing more damage from the start. In addition, the Radiation Warheads upgrade fits all of Tao's Red Guard with radiation grenades.
Capture Building
Orders the Red Guard to capture a building, to be used for China's forces. Radiation Grenade
The Red Guard launches a radiation grenade at the targeted area. The radiation grenade, upon impact, will spread radiation over an area for some time. Any infantry crossing this field without NBC suits or vehicular transport is most likely to die of radiation poisoning. |
Nuclear Tank Hunter
 |
General Tao's Tank Hunters are issued a non-standard missile launcher that does more damage than the standard issue launchers in the Red Army. Additionaly the Radiation Warheads upgrade will create pockets of radiation wherever the missile hits. In groups, they gain a Horde Bonus which increases their rate of fire. Nuclear Tank Hunters are also armed with a Nuclear charges which they can place on enemy buildings and vehicles. These charges can not be removed by any means, and detonate after ten seconds.

Siege Soldiers are infantry equipped with mortars that allows Chinese generals to attack a base from afar without resorting to artillery vehicles. Although inaccurate, their area of effect may compensate. They deal a reasonable amount of damage to anything they might hit, and generally outranges base defences. The Flare Mortars upgrade allows the Siege Soldier to fire flares, which distract enemy missiles from their targets and protect your vehicles. The Radiation Warheads upgrade upgrades mortar shells with warheads that leave radiation wherever they hit.
