Contents |
Red Guard
 |
Trained in groups of three and starting as veterans, Fai can always quickly train a group of powerful infantry in the form of his Red Guard. 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. Their rifle is also fitted with a bayonet which they can use to stab enemy infantry to death.
Capture Building
Orders the Red Guard to capture a building, to be used for China's forces. Bolt-action Rifle Mode The Red Guard uses his rifle to engage ground targets. Bayonet Mode The Red Guard uses his bayonet to stab infantry. |
Mini-Gunner
 |
Trained in pairs and starting as veterans, the Mini-Gunner is a soldier with a rapid-fire weapon that is very powerful against other infantry and can even hit air units, but its low-calibre bullets aren't very effective against armoured targets nor buildings. The minigun they wield is a gattling-based weapon, and as such it needs to spin up before its full power can be unleashed. The destructive power of the Mini-Gunner's weapon can be increased through the Chain Gun upgrade. In groups they recieve a Horde Bonus which grants increased rate of fire. Like the Red Guard, they have the ability to capture buildings when the Capture Buildings upgrade has been researched.

Tank Hunter
 |
Fai armed his Tank Hunters with a double-barreled rocket launcher that affords them significantly increased firepower over normal Tank Hunters, a well as being trained as veterans by default. These soldiers are about as nasty as they come against vehicles. Their special rocket launcher can also be set to Barrage Fire mode which fires rockets very rapidly, but this hardly allows the Tank Hunter time to aim, making this attack extremely inaccurate.
Barrage Fire The Tank Hunter fires rapidly in the general direction of the targeted area. |
Siege Soldier
 |
Infantry equipped with a mortar that allows Chinese generals to attack a base from afar without using high-tech vehicles. The mortar's shells are effective against infantry, tanks and buildings and can take out static defenses from a safe distance. The Flare Mortars upgrade allows the Siege Soldier to fire flares, which distract enemy missiles from their targets and protect your vehicles. Fai's Siege Soldiers start as veterans.
Ground Attack The unit fires its mortar at a specific location. All artillery units in ShockWave have this ability. Fire Flare Mortar
The Siege Soldier fires a flare at a specific location. The flare will disrupt incoming enemy missiles for a while, providing some additional cover for friendly ground forces. |
Super Hacker
 |
Hacks into non-Swiss banks to steal money and uses computer viruses to disable vehicles and buildings. Fai's Hackers start as veterans.
Disable Building The Hacker uses a strong computer virus to disable enemy buildings. Hack Internet The Hacker sits down and deploys his laptop in order to hack money from the internet.
