Terrorist (Generals 1)

One of the GLA's greatest triumphs was convincing ordinary people of the worthiness of the organisation's cause. Some GLA recruits were willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause by becoming human bombs. These Terrorists would strike fear into enemy forces. Cheap to train, Terrorists ran at the enemy and detonated as much C4 as they could carry when they got close. Terrorists could also commandeer cars, creating car bombs.

Tactics/Counters
Terrorists were potentially deadly. Even a single Terrorist could destroy a tank, while fast-moving car bombs could do even more damage. Terrorists were often used alongside other units on the attack, providing a distraction for enemy forces. However, the best use of Terrorists was in a surprise attack. A particularly devious GLA commander would order Terrorists to commandeer Combat Cycles and look for a weakness in his opponent's defences, before delivering a highly explosive shock. (General Juhziz had his Combat Cycles driven by Terrorists straight out of the Arms Dealer.)

Terrorists were still soft targets, however. Anti-infantry units could take them down quite easily, although this had to be done from a distance. This was demonstrated during a massed GLA attack on a Chinese nuclear plant, in which a wave of Terrorists was helplessly mown down by Gattling Cannons and Gattling Tanks. Aircraft could attack Terrorists with impunity.
