  Infantry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Examples of infantry units of the Classical period are the phalanxes of ancient Greece and the legions of Imperial Rome.
Infantry was the primary combat arm of the period in open battles, as a result of multiple factors, including the cultural bias toward hand-to-hand combat and the relatively limited effectiveness of ranged weapons.
Infantry traditionally have been the main force to overrun these units in the past, and in modern combat are used to pursue enemy forces in constricted terrain (urban areas in particular), where faster forces, such as armored vehicles are incapable of going or would be exposed to ambush.

C: TB is a fine attempt to translate the gameplay of a computer game to a board game experience.
As with the PC game, water is the natural barrier that all must overcome in order to truly dominate, and the board design really forces you to think far in advance in order to expand and exterminate.
In the standard game, the technologies are all treated the same and have no effect past the unique resource calculation and the Victory points at the end of the game.

 Halfbakery: Mass combat game
Some games like Serious Sam allow a small team of human players to fight hundreds of brainless enemies, but this is in a co-operative gameplay mode..
Another thing to consider is that in multiplayer games, each player has the advantage of having learned from countless combat experiences in which they died and were reborn from to fight again.
Putting armies of AI teammates into these games could bring back realism to games in which the medium of interactive entertainment itself is lowering the overall realism of the game.

Many of the most controversial computer games involve the player's character in frequent combat from the first-person perspective which accurately simulates the point of view of an infantry soldier.
Most games allow the player's character to carry an inventory of items which may be added to or used during the course of the game to allow for successful completion.
Additionally, many computer games now have multiplayer capability which means that players can engage in gaming cooperatively or against each other over communications networks linked to their computers such as office local area networks and the Internet.

 "Advance Wars"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
For instance an infantry unit with a big bazooka on it can do more damage to a small tank than an infantry unit with just a machine gun but the one with the machine gun can move more steps a turn..
You will have to use your mind as the infantry units are the only ones who can capture bases so you may want to buy the cheaper infantry to capture bases faster and the more expansive one to bust tanks.
The only thing you have to be worried about is that this game is so addictive that you may find yourself playing this game all the time even when your not in the car.

However, one of the best moments I had in the game was when I positioned my M1A1 platoon on the top of a hill and proceeded to pound the hell out of an enemy tank base in the valley below.
The visual quality of the game, while perhaps not the cream of the crop, is nonetheless quite good.
As I said in the overview, this game relies heavily on CPU power, and with the very large mission areas, it just can't seem to keep up using a 56k connection.

The game reproduces the US M1A1 and the German Leopard 2A4 tanks in intrinsic detail to create a highly accurate simulation with a war element.
While the graphics in the game leave something to be desired, there is immense detail in the reproduction of the aspects of tank warfare including terrain and environmental effects as well as features including different ammo types and specific damage impacts on parts of the tank, e.g.

The number of units available is among the highest of any RTS game ever made, and there is a lot of attention to detail on strengths and weaknesses of each unit.
Unfortunately the accents of some of the unique characters were quite bad, even painful to listen to, and when zoomed in, their faces look like they were chalked onto a piece of cardboard and pasted onto the character’s head.
This was made worse by the fact that the cutscenes during the missions use the game engine and involved zooming into the onscreen gameplay at the current time and featuring voiceovers for the characters.
