And if the other player is smart, they would know that USA can't get ranger without first killing some enemy troops. So an infantry rush against EMP gen would work. |

Ranger? they are USA's first normal infantries, everyone can buy Rangers from the first start.
And some Flashbangs or Humvee's full of Rangers would work.
But yeah... Infantry General is the best general versus SW General.
But every other general are good versus the lame Laser General.

You have that backwards. Lasers are powerful against everything. They do higher damage than shells or missiles, they cannot be shot down, or stopped by PDLs, they are instant, and they often finish their salvo by shooting at a much greater distance than what should be their maximum. They are powerful against infantry, vehicles, and aircraft, and the only thing that can safely hit them are china's artillery, or the rocket buggy, (and of course an Aurora, but those can safely hit anything) which can easily be destroyed by just about any unit behind the turret. They can shoot down SCUDs, and tomahawks. The laser turret is basically amazing. |

Lasers are actually bad versus infantry, so one Rebel Ambush or something could be enough to destroy your Power plants. Then all your Laser Crusaders and Laser turrets become useless.
Or if you get rushed by hundreds of Minigunners from the Infantry General, then Laser General can't do anything.

Only the lasers on laser crusaders. Laser turrets are very potent against infantry. |

I wouldn't say the laser general is the worst. A good rush can murder anyone but late in the game those laser turrets become quite nasty if set up right. Against minugunners, if you have them supplemented by pathfinders...well there goes the neighborhood. |

Tank Gen is the worst, no long range makes him practically useless late game, & i do mean useless, he also has way to many weaknesses & doesn't bost the economy & early game advantage of the nuke or infantry gen counterparts |
My opinion is likely to change as I improve
You will not forget this devils power |
