Have another part of your army destroy these beforehand, or simply arm your Conscripts with Molotovs and hope for the best.

Conscripts are fragile, wearing only coats and no body armor they will be easily slaughtered by enemy defensive turrets. However, their sheer spammability more than makes up for this Conscripts are meant to drown the enemy in bullets. Conscripts are also poorly armed and equipped they have short range, weak weapons, and low health. It is very easy and quick to produce a Conscript army. Their training time is 0:04, compared to the 0:05 Allied and Japanese infantry take, at higher costs each. Conscript, probably taking his training video a bit too literallyĬonscripts are an extremely cheap infantry unit to train at only $100. Despite the fact that the "Emperor" they killed was actually a robotic body double, and the fact they were captured immediately afterwards by Imperial forces, they were eventually rescued and taken back to Russia, where they were presumably treated as national heroes and given many honors for their unquestionable bravery. However, the greatest moment for the Conscripts was during Operation: To Tame a Living God.ĭuring the operation, a Conscript and a War Bear, the sole survivors of a massive paradrop, managed to sneak past the Imperial guards inside the Emperor's Palace and assassinate Emperor Yoshiro himself in his own garden. They fought in many of the Union's most vital battles, including the Defense of Leningrad, the Battle of Vladivostok, and the Battle of Geneva. In the Soviet campaign, the lowly Conscripts actually play a much bigger role in the Soviet Perspective.

The following is based on the Soviet campaign of Red Alert 3 and might contradict canon. However, when the Allies and Soviets worked together against the Empire of the Rising Sun, they proved to be good defenders along with their counterparts, the Peacekeepers, specially when the coalition invaded the floating fortress in the North Atlantic (even as both parts were constantly in tension). The Allies often ran into en-mass Conscript attacks in the early missions, such as Ride of the Red Menace, but most were dealt with by superior defenses and tactics. Never we would have thought we would ally with the Allies. Molotov cocktails are highly effective against garrisoned buildings and are reasonably powerful versus vehicles and normal buildings, but take time to fly and can be dodged by quicker targets. The Molotov's fire will produce tear inducing smoke (due to impurities and battlefield condition). Conscripts may carry these in specially designed containers. This cocktail is easily made (with main ingredients being fuel such as petroleum or kerosene and motor oil, all available in great supply). The cocktail was "named for the great Soviet bartender who first invented the concoction in exasperation when his patrons refused to leave his establishment." Based on this knowledge, it can be assumed these Molotov Cocktails are poisonous as well as flammable, but apparently some Conscripts have tried drinking it anyway as "Reports of conscripts drinking this substance for pleasure, and subsequently falling ill or dying, are described as 'patently false' by the Soviet media.". The bayonet seen on one of the propaganda poster is clearly not standard equipment as Conscripts in the battlefield rarely used them.Ĭonscripts also gain the Molotov cocktail which allows them to clear garrisons. Equipping new conscripts made extensive use of battlefield salvage. The rifle is inexpensive to manufacture and fired 7.62 mm rounds effective against infantry but weak against vehicles. The conscripts of the third iteration of the Third World War are much less armored, and are equipped with an ADK-45 assault rifle rather than a PPSh-41.Ĭonscripts are armed with the battle-proven and easily manufactured ADK-45 assault rifle. However, there was some difference between these and the previous conscripts. While Anatoly Cherdenko altered the timeline by removing Albert Einstein, conscripted infantry still remained the foundation of the Soviet army. Main article: Conscript (Red Alert 3)/Profile
