Summary
The Marksman is an inexpensive unit that specializes in destroying single targets with its powerful long-range attacks. Its main drawback is fragile defenses and its low fire rate - Marksmen are vulnerable to squads with high unit counts such as Crawlers or Mustangs, as well as units capable of rapidly closing distance such as Rhinos. A team of Marksmen deployed in the back of your army can easily rack up kills from a safe distance, although placing them too far back can leave them easily tied down by chaff units placed on the flanks. Since they can be fielded as early as round one, Marksmen can rapidly gain experience and levels given the relative safety from which they kill units and gain experience. A level two Marksman can take out a Sledgehammer tank in one shot instead of two, while veteran Marksmen have high enough to damage to threaten even giant units, making them a very cost-effective counter to frontline units such as Fortresses and Vulcans if they are levelled up in the late game.
