Currently, I'm seeking new strategy to play with all factions. This time, I try Penal Battalion as they are underused by many Soviet player.

While Penal is better than conscript in term of fighting, their lack of AT ability make terrible mid game, where armor car and light tank dominate the battlefield.

That's where I try to combine with second unit: AT Partisan.

I was surprised. AT partisan give Penal what they lack of: light at department. With at nade, they can take out any vehicle at mid-game. In contrary, Penal can clear all kind of building with flamer and satchel, allow AT partisan ready to support at any time.

My build order is engineer->T1->engineer->penalx3->medic->at nade->at partisan->T3 onward.

Currently, there are only two soviet commanders that can call in at partisan. I just hope that Relic replace one more commander ability(Urban Tactic repair for at partisan for example) to make this strategy more popular.

Is it worth the fuel investment to get AT grenades on just one squad?

As the game progress, more at partisan can be spawned, depend on map and situation.

I'd prefer mines everywhere instead of teching for nades and nading.

But interesting point of view

Going to try it out!

Sounds cool, I'll try it out, especially since I've thinking about using partisan commander simply since it's been a long time since. I often pick considered half-rubbish commanders just to see if I can do somthing good with them. Not a super competitive attitude
