Attack dogs. effectively replace the jeep - but have a much less % chance to be hit by rifle fire (except from MG's). They should not be insta-kill (i.e a furry panzerfaust) but should prevent a sniper from firing by mauling them/him/her and eventually kill them.
Red Alert had it spot on.
Oh god. I would love to make an army where I just built 100's and 100's of attack dogs and just sent them at a british blob.
