Imperium Unit Descriptions and Strategies:
Tachion Tanks
It just doesn't get any better than the Tachion Tank, with their excellent range, excellent firepower, and excellent armor and hover capabilities. They're good at taking on any Freedom Guard ground forces and capable of self-destructing to take out nearby units in the resulting suicidal blast.
Vulnerabilities
Tachion Tanks don't have many weaknesses - you can't go too wrong selecting them for any given task. They are vulnerable, however, to attacks from air units, and, like all Imperium armor, are unable to move over anything other than flat terrain.
How to Get the Most out of Tachion Tanks
Tachion Tanks are extremely powerful and can essentially roam unchallenged until the Freedom Guard can build Triple Rail Hover Tanks. Their extensive range makes them capable of taking out laser turrets and Heavy Rail Platforms without being assaulted (approach the Heavy Rail Platforms from an angle until you find a sweet-spot area, where you can attack the Heavy Rail Platform while staying out of its range). Tachion Tanks can also be extremely effective in a defensive role, parked behind your wall of turrets and acting as artillery.
A group of five to six Tachion Tanks is powerful enough to wander around the map at will (accompanied by a couple of MADs in the later campaign scenarios). If you encounter any enemies, back away while your tanks use their range to finish off any pursuers virtually unharmed. Retreating is actually a valuable tactic for the mighty Tachion Tanks, as their superior range usually allows them to escape unscathed while decimating opponents. The ability to self-destruct is one you should use rarely, if at all, as Tachion Tanks are quick enough to flee real danger and too expensive to waste needlessly. If you really think that a Tachion Tank is out of luck during a campaign scenario, pause the game and check its stats - if they confirm your gloomy prognosis, order your tank to self-destruct while the game is still paused. You'll have a better chance of getting your blast off before the tank is finished off.
