It seems there are many "favorites" threads but I didn't see one on assault infantry, so here goes....
What is your favorite assault infantry in M2TW (including retro mod but not Empires units)? I'm talking about hardcore infantry who can quickly chop
through defenders before the timer runs out.
I'm occasionally disappointed with units that have good stats, presumably because of some obfuscated combat mechanic that is not reflected in the "at a glance" page. For example, French Dismounted Knights perform surprisingly worse than DFKs. FDK's fumble around and take higher casualties. Likewise Norse Axemen never seem to get their act together. In contrast, JHI are spectacular ... but drop like flies to arrow fire.
My current favorite is Forlorn Hope. They seem to carve through just about anything. Their main drawback is rarity - slow to recruit and require alot of infrastructure. What is your favorite, and why?
