Spetsnaz

Spetsnaz
Skilled troops with good assault rifles and great armor. Can be unlocked by building Spetnaz training facilities in towns, which will allow you to hire a few a day. Reasonable SMG skills if absolutely necessary, though they should really be armed with assault rifles. Given high quality armor and mid-tier weapons, Spetznaz can take a beating and return the favor. They are not very mobile, however, which combined with their high armor and skills makes them ideal frontline assault troops to command attention while more mobile squads hit the flanks.

Spetznaz will max out their armor at level 10.

Considering their relatively low hire cost and daily wage for quality troops, you will likely find yourself hiring every Spetznaz you can find. Farm desert bandits to arm them.

Wage: 150
