Learn how to use Infantry, the backbone of your army in Advance Wars. They capture cities and have the lowest deployment cost.
Infantry are the backbone of any battling army in Advance Wars. You need them to capture cities, factories, airports, ports, and most importantly, the enemy HQ. From a battle perspective, their main purpose is to overwhelm the enemy with a lot of units. They're excellent cannon fodder, so if you're not building anything else because of low funds, build infantry. Infantry units have the lowest deployment cost.
Infantry should be used to attack other infantry, mechs, transport units, and indirect units like artillery and rockets. Infantry will fight poorly against all other units. Infantry can also defeat low-HP vehicles and copters. In Fog of War situations, put infantry on a mountain and they will be as effective as a recon.
