What is the deal with Foot Guards?

[Siegfield]

As the title says, what is the use of this unit? its a 400 MP AT squad with pea shooters and lackluster bazookas.

The ghurkas far outshoot the wikifeet guardians and having smoke on top of that. I have seen better CQB CBT performance out of 200mp sappers tbh.

For AT you are better off spamming AT bois rifles, as the bazookas dont justify the 400 price point. The rockets barely do more then the bois rifles on a infantry section.

I cant think of a single reason to get this unit other than to throw the game or to clown on your opponent.

Does any one of you have an experience buying this unit where it wasnt stuck at your base reinforcing after 20 seconds on the field?

That peashooter is thompson SMG . It will wreck most mainline .

They also have free bazooka without the need to upgrade one . And you cant rely on AT riffle . Sure it still strong vs everything but the nerf hammer is looming .

It's a universalist unit available outside of battlegroup choices. But if you can spam sections and munitions on their rifles, feel free to do that, it's not wrong either.

I mix these with Gurkhas (bren upgraded) and they rock.... definitely better if you upgrade the Gurkhas in the campaign with the Aura effect that makes nearby infantry shoot more accurate.

The volley rockets let them knock out P3/4s in a one on one fight, even at vet 1 without the training centre buff. My real issue with the FG is how slow they can be at picking up the bazooka after a model dies, which happens quite frequently even with 110 HP. I like them, but dont be fooled by their generalist tag.
