Overview

Units in CON are the foundational building blocks of your military campaign. You will begin each game with a contingent of early modern units, placed strategically on your selected homeland nation.

Units are located on the map with identifying icons, and individual units can, and should, be stacked along with other units in order to amplify their military strength. A solid, early game attacking unit stack might include 2 motorized infantry with a towed artillery unit. This stack should provide ample strength in attacking a moderately defended city.

Beginning your game with Tier 1 Technology from the early-modern period of the 1980’s and early 90’s, subsequent research will allow you to build and mobilize units from the mid-modern period of the 2000’s (Tier 2), and lastly, with ultra modern units (Tier 3)- from last week in some cases.

There are several types of units, each fit for a role and several situations : Infantry, Armoured, Support, Helicopters, Fighters, Heavies, Naval, Submarines, Missiles.
