FIRESTRIKE
GRAND-TACTICAL MODERN LAND WARFARE



Infantry Combat Ratings

See Equipment Key for meaning of column codes. The missile line for infantry covers man-portable ATGM heavy weapons. The second ATGM line (if any) covers organic FPV drone assets (separate from dedicated drone units outlined separately). For a historical comparison, think of the "Infantry" drone capability as being like the light infantry company of a Napoleonic line infantry battalion. The dedicated drone detachments are more like companies deployed from of an entire volitguer light infantry battalion. In both historical cases (modern and Napoleonic) elements of each group might well operate in close proximity to each other on the battlefield, albeit under different local commands.
