Quick notes

  • Choose a battlefield role rather than a hero. Assault Squad is organized around soldiers, crews and equipment.
  • Build support around the main weapon. A field gun can dominate a lane while remaining vulnerable to infantry approaching from another direction.
  • Use the squad commander to manage the group. Selecting a squad commander selects the squad, whose members follow the commander and orders.
  • Recover a gun when the crew is lost. A gun and its operators are separate targets.
