Engies are the builders of your base, and the cheapest squad in the game, so you shouldn't feel bad about getting a second one pretty early on, 4 extra rifles are 4 extra rifles after all. This is the squad you start with, and one of the most important ones in the early and late game. Additionally, you can get upgrades for said infantry (molotovs and snares), as well as medics, who heal your troops. This building provides you with your mainline infantry - Conscripts (referred to as cons henceforth) and combat engineers.


Soviets, similar to ostheer, are the only faction that has to build buildings to progress in their tech, with the most basic one, the Regimental Field HQ, being available from the start of the game.
