As an Infantry, the Divisione Sahariana (in-game: Sahariana) leaves a great deal to be desired. However, the primary purpose of the Saharan Division is not to engage enemy troops head-on, but to perform reconnaissance and relay vital field information back to headquarters, so that the Italian commander can make informed decisions before moving into enemy territory.
The Sahariana have the distinction of being one of the only infantry-class recon units in R.U.S.E. (aside from the Japanese paratrooper recon) which, while being slower than motorized recon units, means that they can hide where other recon units might not; namely being cities. Similarly, they can capture buildings like any other infantry, whereas other recon units cannot.
Tips
- These units are outstanding at setting up ambushes against supply trucks, which cripple the enemy's monetary supply.
- They are cheap to produce in bunches, and easy to replace when destroyed by opposing forces
Pros and Cons
+The ability to attack most Recon cars lack.
+AT guns cannot harm them but they can harm AT guns.
-300 health points only. leaving them not only with the lowest dps but also with lower hp then most troops.
-7dps and 300 hp compared to 20dps and 400hp for most light infantry means even if they ambush they do not stand much of a chance.
