== Units == 


WarExpand fields land, sea and air units. Each unit is trained at a production building, consumes a specific ammunition in combat, and comes in numbered tiers with their own attack, defense, speed, range, volume, build time, cost and upkeep.

=== Tiers === 


Every unit starts at '''Tier 1'''. Higher tiers are unlocked through [[Research|research]] and improve the unit's stats; the in-game unit panel shows one tier at a time, and each unit page here has a table comparing all tiers.

=== Land === 


* [[Light Infantry]]
* [[Heavy Infantry]]
* [[Elite Infantry]]
* [[Resistance Infantry]]
* [[Ghost Infantry]]
* [[Light Tank]]
* [[Heavy Tank]]
* [[Artillery]]
* [[Anti-Air]]
* [[Scout Vehicle]]
* [[Griffon]]

=== Sea === 


* [[Warship]]
* [[Destroyer]]
* [[Frigate]]
* [[Submarine]]
* [[Naval Cargo]]
* [[Aircraft Carrier]]

=== Air === 


* [[Jet Fighter]]
* [[Plane Cargo]]
* [[Stealth Helicopter]]
* [[B2 Bomber]]
* [[Recon Drone]]
* [[AWACS]]

== Counters == 


A '''hard-countered''' unit takes extra losses and cannot retaliate against the unit countering it. Jet fighters engage the units they counter exclusively. Everything not listed here trades on raw stats.

|}

== Bombardment == 


These units attack automatically from range on a 15-minute cycle instead of engaging directly. See [[Bombardment]].


* [[Artillery]]: while idle, projects a 30 km strike zone and bombards every enemy or neutral army inside it every 15 minutes. Only artillery can return fire against it.
* [[Jet Fighter]]: bombards enemy armies within 12.5 km every 15 minutes, even while moving. Only Anti-Air and Frigates can return fire against it.
* [[Anti-Air]]: automatically bombards hostile aircraft within 50 km every 15 minutes.
* [[B2 Bomber]]: bombards hostile land armies within 25 km every 15 minutes, even while moving. Only Anti-Air can return fire against it.

== Stealth and detection == 


Covert units are invisible to enemies while the army contains only covert units; detectors roll to reveal them once per 10-minute scan. See [[Stealth and Detection]].


{| class="wikitable"
! Domain !! Covert units !! Detectors
|-
| Land || [[Ghost Infantry]], [[Griffon]] || [[Scout Vehicle]], [[AWACS]], [[Strategic Radar]]
|-
| Sea || [[Submarine]] || [[Destroyer]], [[AWACS]], [[Strategic Radar]]
|-
| Air || [[Stealth Helicopter]], [[B2 Bomber]] || [[Recon Drone]], [[AWACS]], [[Strategic Radar]]
|}

== Transports == 


Cargo is a m³ budget: each carried unit consumes space equal to its volume.


* [[Naval Cargo]]: carries land and support units, up to its cargo volume (a m³ budget; each unit consumes space equal to its volume).
* [[Plane Cargo]]: carries land and support units, up to its cargo volume (a m³ budget).
* [[Aircraft Carrier]]: carries jet fighters, up to its cargo volume (a m³ budget).
* [[Griffon]]: carries ghost infantry only, up to its cargo volume.
* [[Stealth Helicopter]]: carries ghost infantry only, up to its cargo volume.

== Stances == 


Every army has a stance that decides when it fights:


* '''Attack''', engages any hostile army in range or on its node.
* '''Defensive''', never starts a fight, only fires back when attacked.
* '''Passive''', never fights, not even in retaliation (it can still take losses).

== WarExpand Wiki == 


Welcome to the WarExpand wiki, a community reference for the browser strategy game [https://warexpand.com WarExpand]: a live, node-based world map where countries deploy armies, build fortifications, train units and coordinate strategic strikes against real players.

=== Getting started === 


* [[Units]]: land, sea and air forces, tiers and counters
* [[Buildings]]: economy and production
* [[Fortifications]]: static country defenses
* [[Resources]]: the economy, wallets and production tax
* [[Terrain]]: the battlefield
* [[Research]]: unit tiers and the national focus

=== Warfare === 


* [[Armies]]: army types, stances, movement and battles
* [[Bombardment]]: attacking from range
* [[Stealth and Detection]]: covert units and detectors
* [[Ammunition]]: what every unit and fortification fires
* [[Strategic Weapons]]: ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs
* [[Equipment]]: items that boost units
* [[NPC factions]]: militia, terrorists and pirates

=== Nation === 


* [[Government]]: president, ministers, elections and the national wallet
* [[Diplomacy]]: alliances, wars, coalitions and reparations
* [[Unrest]]: keeping conquered districts under control
* [[Missions]]: operations posted by the Ministry of Intelligence

Light Infantry

{{UnitInfobox|code=light_infantry|tier=1}}

== Light Infantry == 


Cheap, mass-produced foot soldiers, the backbone of any land army. Weak alone but effective in numbers and quick to replace.


'''Domain:''' Land · '''Role:''' Line combat · '''Ammunition:''' Rifle Rounds

== Stats == 


Higher tiers of the Light Infantry are unlocked through [[Research|research]]; each tier has its own attack, defense, speed, range, volume, build time, cost and upkeep.

</translate>
{{UnitTiers|code=light_infantry}}
<translate>

== Counters == 


Light Infantry has no hard counters and is not a hard counter to anything, it trades on raw stats.


''Hard-countered units take extra losses and cannot retaliate against the unit countering them. See [[Units#Counters]] for the full matrix.''

== Production == 


Trained at the [[Barracks]]. Build time, cost and upkeep depend on the tier (see [[#Stats|Stats]]).


In combat Light Infantry expends '''Rifle Rounds'''. Ammunition is crafted in batches at ammunition buildings ([[Ammunition Factory]], [[Ordnance Plant]]); keep the army supplied to stay effective in prolonged fighting.

== Movement and transport == 


As a land unit it moves only across land nodes. A route that crosses water is clipped at the last land node before the crossing.


To cross water, load it aboard a [[Naval Cargo]] or [[Plane Cargo]].

== Tips == 


* Garrison a district you have just captured with light infantry: it holds ground much better than it takes it, and its upkeep is the lowest of any land unit. Let artillery deal the damage.
* It has no hard counter, so it is never singled out by jet fighters the way tanks are.

== See also == 


* [[Units]]: all units, counter matrix and stances
* Transports: [[Naval Cargo]], [[Plane Cargo]]
