Red Alert 2 Boris
Conscript
The Conscript is the more basic form of infantry on the Soviet side. Compared to the allied GI, the conscript is very weak, as it does not have the option to deploy and use a heavy machine gun. However it is worth remembering that the conscript only costs half as much as an allied GI. Conscripts are extremely vulnerable on their own, and should be in large groups at all times to compensate for their lack of firepower. On the battlefield conscripts are not very useful, but they can be used to garrison buildings at a relatively cheap cost compared to the allied GI. Likewise conscripts can be stationed in a battlebunker, and can inflict a good deal of damage, and the structure compensates for their weakness. In this way conscripts can easily attain elite status, making then much more powerful.
