Basicslly, I build 4 rear echelon squads and use the Manpower I save to build a munitions cache early on. Then I get BARS, an ambulance and then go lieutenant tech. I use fighting positions to win super early fights.
the main avantages are economical. I have crazy map control early on since RE squads have a very short build time. I usually go airborne with it for paratroopers.
I don't know of it's viable, especially on maps with easy cutoffs, but it's won me a few games So far against medium Rank player (300-500)
Goddammit man, that's so crazy it just might work
(in a handful of limited situations) . Are fighting positions like houses when it comes to eating grenades? Or do the paper mache RE squads get turned to confetti?
