Air Assault

There are 4 components of Air Assault:

• Paratroopers
  
• Transports
  
• Interceptors
  
• Assault Helicopters

Air Assault requires

Start
Players should start with a 2 air base and econ start as we will not be needing energy right away. Barracks should then be added next to airbases to create Paratroopers. Start building Air Taxis until you have 3 then build 2 interceptors. Use single plane airdrops to land your troops on all resource points within range. In those areas you will expand your economy You will then set up Air bases/fields at strategic nodes, especially towards your opponent. in order to establish places to jump off from and which can be reinforced.

Helicopters are used as the supporting weapons because they are versatile and can go anywhere. this will allow the player to concentrate their forces either for an offensive breakthrough or to reinforce defenses where needed.

Once you have enough Air taxis

With this doctrine, your opponent will be able to out produce you on land and in the sea and amass a larger force so if they are able to mount a direct offensive you will be in trouble. On the other hand, you will be able to expand more quickly and make deep and targeted strikes at their energy and key airbases and ports. The goal is to have as many of your forces accomplishing goals while the opponents are idle or out of position. For example, if you land behind their base and begin attacking they have to return troops to defend a high priority objective. This will prevent them from launching a direct assault on you and limit their ability to use their less mobile forces to expand.

Navy
You will not need transports and you have interceptors to cover your air so you can focus on cruisers and destroyers to keep the enemy navy off of your ports.
