==Game building==

Each airfield can support up to four fixed wing aircraft and an unlimited amount of helicopters.
{{Template:Quote|Assault Troop Crawler here.|Assault Troop Crawler}}
 
Like the regular Troop Crawler, it is a reasonably fast wheeled APC, already coming with eight [[Mini-Gunner]]s on board upon rolling out of the [[War factory (Generals)|War Factory]], with stealth detection. It has firing ports for the infantrymen inside, superior armor and a small propaganda tower to heal other friendlies.

Although more expensive than its predecessor, the cost of the Assault Troop Transport covers the expense of the eight Mini-Gunners (as well as saving $400) and it is much better equipped for battle. If some of the Mini-Gunners were replaced by [http://cnc.gamepedia.com/Tank_Hunter Tank Hunters] the Assault Troop Transport would be well-equipped to take on all comers.
