Editing Tactics - Resistance (section)

==Why Play Resistance==
*You appreciate the underdog
*You live in a swamp, a cave or underground
*You think hovercrafts are awesome
*You want to fight alien occupation with duct tape and rust
*Your favourite film is Mad Max
*You consider a bus filled with C4 to be legitimate military hardware

Resistance have the most units and viable playstyles of any faction in DZC. You have an enormous roster of units that are variously fragile, undergunned, slow or short-ranged, but combine together to cover each other's weaknesses. They don't have an inherent faction skew but in broad strokes:
*Resistance units are generally tough, either because they have thick armour or because they are dirt cheap. Units with the Resilient rule and/or and multiple DP are very common.
*Resistance guns tend to suffer from short ranges and low E values relative to their peers. They often require volume of fire and/or Focus to break armour.
*Resistance possess very strong alpha strikes with long deployed threat ranges, sudden emergence of units, or front-loading shots for short-term gains.
*Units are drawn from 2 pools; the EAA (Old military hardware) and civilian equipment used in non-standard roles.
**EAA units have high armour and lots of DP for their class. They are typically covered in a variety of guns but have low Move values relative to their peers.
**Civilian units tend to be fast, cheap and made of paper. They are inflexible and designed for a single role. Civilian units do not have Countermeasures and are vulnerable to long-range shooting.
*Transports are heavily armed and armoured but have a smaller capacity than other factions. As a result they take up a larger proportion of your force and tend to contribute more directly to the fight than simply moving their contents.
*Resistance have an exceptional range of infantry and transport options. You have numerous excellent units to support your armoured elements, dig out garrisons and retrieve objectives. Infantry form a major part of the faction and players are advised to get comfortable with running large numbers of them in a variety of transports.
