Conscript (Red Alert 3)

While Anatoly Cherdenko altered the time line by removing Albert Einstein, conscripts still remained the foundation of the Soviet army by the time of Great World War IIII. There's little difference between these and the old Conscripts, but they are now armed with Molotov Cocktails along with the classic rifles.



The millions of drafted boys destined to become conscripts tended to have no distinguishing attributes or patronage. Training had a heavy theoretical component with an emphasis on raising morale and reinforcing indoctrination learned earlier in life. In addition to this, conscripts were often promised great reward for their service, motivating them further. By comparison, technical skills, such as marksmanship, merited relatively little time and swimming was completely ignored, reportedly due to fears of desertion.

The conscript training program was regarded as highly efficient by the Soviets. However, the cost of turning out enthusiastic but poorly trained was apparent by conscripts possessing the shortest average combat lives out of all the Soviet forces. Conscripts rarely lived above 26.6 years before being killed or promoted.

Conscripts were armed with the ADK-45 assault rifle. The rifle was inexpensive and fired 7.62mm rounds effective against infantry. Equipping new conscripts made extensive use of battlefield salvage.

Conscripts gain the Molotov Cocktail which allows them to clear garrisons.
