Classes
Gunner: The well-rounded unit of the game with a medium range attack and high rate of fire though his gun might jam. It is used primarily for attacking.
Launcher: While the game lacks a "sniper" character, the launcher serves essentially the same purpose with a powerful, slow-firing, long range weapon. The launcher's Attack can be stopped by cover but may randomly result in an "instant death" of an opposing combatant (reduced to a skeleton and therefore can't call a medic). Can destroy bonus objective targets.
Chucker: Grenades are the primary weapon of this class. Their attack has a low rate of fire and is easily avoidable but the grenade goes over cover, can damage multiple units, and has good range. Can destroy bonus objective targets.
Scorcher: Possibly the most dangerous unit in the game, these soldiers use a flame thrower to do damage which, despite having the shortest range, can hit multiple soldiers and is the fastest weapon. Once a scorcher is on top of another unit, it is very difficult to survive. Because of this capability, they make excellent flanking and escort units. Attack may randomly result in an "instant death" of an opposing combatant (reduced to a pile of ash and therefore can't call a medic). If the Scorcher goes into water, his weapon will be temporarily disabled (indicated by bubbles being shot out instead of fire).
Blaster: Considered the weakest unit in the game and needs to be protected. The Blaster is similar to the Chucker. Instead of using grenades, they throw dynamite which goes over cover and inflicts heavy damage. However, they have an extremely slow rate of fire and the second shortest attack range, so they are not as useful. Attack may randomly result in an "instant death" of an opposing combatant (reduced to a skeleton and therefore can't call a medic). Can destroy bonus objective targets.

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“Between richer and poorer classes in a free country a mutually respecting antagonism is much healthier than pity on the one hand and dependence on the other, as is, perhaps, the next best thing to fraternal feeling.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (18031885)
“... too much attention is paid to dress by those who have neither the excuse of ample means nor of social claims.... The injury done by this state of things to the morals and the manners of our lower classes is incalculable.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (18241899)
