Description
The Grunt is the standard infantry used by all Battalion Wars nations. Originally named the Rifle Grunt, the first part was dropped in the second game so as not to confuse the unit with the similar Assault Veteran. Despite being the weakest of a nation's units and having no specialized weapons whatsoever, the Grunt is actually able to take out not only enemy infantry, but vehicles as well. This of course takes time, which lowers the Speed rating, but it is possible to complete a mission with only a single Grunt left.
