Name:	Spy
Cost:	500
Side:	Allied
Range:	N/A
Armor:	None
Prereq:	BAR & DOME
Weapon:	Information

Spies look like the enemy's own infantry. A human player will certainly be suspicious of a unit that he can not control, so some subtlety is called for in multiplayer games.
They make great scouts since they can pass unmolested by enemy units, but guard dogs will sniff them out with messy results.

Spies can infiltrate various buildings and pass along a steady stream of intelligence. The information they can collect is as follows:
• Barracks, weapon factory, construction yard: Find out what units the enemy is building.
• Subpen: Get a sonar pulse that shows enemy subs.
• Refinery, silos: Learn the financial status of your enemy.
• Radar dome: Track the movement of every enemy unit, seeing what they see. In multiplayer games, you'll hear the conversations of the enemy you infiltrate

If the enemy sells a building that your spies infiltrate, your spy will emerge.

Cost:	950
Side:	Soviet
Range:	Med
Armor:	Heavy
Prereq:	WAR
Weapon:	Twin 105mm Cannons

Name:	Ore Truck
Cost:	1400
Side:	Both
Range:	N/A
Armor:	Heavy
Prereq:	WAR & REFN
Weapon:	None

The ore truck is the most important unit in the game. If you destroy your enemy's ore truck, he'll starve to death, and the same also applies to you. The computer gives high priority to defending its ore trucks, but a quick, decisive strike will destroy the ore truck before reinforcements arrive.

Cost:	600
Side:	Allied
Range:	Long
Armor:	Light
Prereq:	WAR
Weapon:	155mm Gun

Cost:	600
Side:	Allied
Range:	Med
Armor:	Light
Prereq:	WAR & TECH
Weapon:	Shroud Generator

A mobile gap generator will hide nearby units under a shroud of darkness. Surprise is a paramount strength in a multiplayer game, and denying an opponent from knowing the nature of your attack will leave him with an exploitable weakness.

Name:	MRJ
Cost:	600
Side:	Allied
Range:	Long
Armor:	Light
Prereq:	WAR & DOME
Weapon:	White-noise Generator

If you move a radar jammer within 15 squares of the enemy radar dome, you will shutdown his communications and radar. This interference appears as static on the radar display. Use the confusion to launch a surprise attack, or to prevent an enemy from communicating with any allies.

Side:	Soviet
Range:	N/A
Armor:	Med

Armor:	Med
Prereq:	WAR & SDPT

Armor:	Light
Prereq:	WAR & DOME
Weapon:	V2 Rocket

These rockets have a range of ten squares. Two rockets can destroy camouflaged pillboxes. Three rockets will take out turrets and AA guns.

Range:	Short
Armor:	Heavy
Prereq:	HELI
Weapon:	Hellfire Missiles

Name:	Yak
Cost:	800
Side:	Soviet
Range:	Short
Armor:	Light
Prereq:	AFLD
Weapon:	Twin Machine Gun

An empty Yak fighter can reload in 40 seconds. Yaks are good for strafing infantry and destroying light vehicles and structures. The strafing run begins one square in front of the target. The Yak will open fire and walk the bullets to the target.

Side:	Soviet
Range:	N/A
Armor:	None
Prereq:	AFLD
Weapon:	AK-47 Rifle

Name:	Parachute Bombs
Cost:	N/A
Side:	Soviet
Range:	N/A
Armor:	N/A
Prereq:	AFLD
Weapon:	High-Explosive Bombs

Charges every 14 minutes. Parabombs are really inaccurate, and unless your target is fairly large, you can forget about scoring any direct hits. Each time you drop parabombs, the plane will arrive from a different direction, making it almost impossible to predict the path of destruction. Each of the five bomblets has the explosive power of two artillery shells.

Name:	Spy Plane
Cost:	N/A
Side:	Soviet
Range:	N/A
Armor:	Light
Prereq:	AFLD
Weapon:	Camera

Charges every three minutes. The spy plane can take a lot of AA damage, so don't be afraid to send it downtown. You can use it to spot enemy air defenses by using it this way.

Cost:	1200
Side:	Soviet
Range:	Med
Armor:	Light
Prereq:	AFLD
Weapon:	Heat-Seeking Missiles

Cost:	1200
Side:	Soviet
Range:	Short
Armor:	Heavy
Prereq:	HELI
Weapon:	Vulcan Chain-Gun

Cost:	500
Side:	Allied
Range:	Short
Armor:	Light
Prereq:	NYRD
Weapon:	2-inch Deck Gun

The gunboat is fast, and has a gun range of 5 and a half squares. Since three direct hits from a submarine will kill it, keep it moving during ASW operations. Two depth charge hits will cripple, if not destroy, a submarine.

Name:	Destroyer
Cost:	1000
Side:	Allied
Range:	Med
Armor:	Med
Prereq:	NYRD
Weapon:	Stinger Missle Pod

The Stinger missiles aboard destroyers fire twice as quickly at enemy air units than land or sea targets. A destroy can attack a Tesla coil at a distance without casualty. Smart submarine commanders will attack destroyers from maximum distance.

Range:	Extream
Armor:	Heavy
