About the game
The Aven prefer to use fast moving, hard hitting but lightly armored forces. They use VTOL based air assault troops, fast GEV tanks and Multi-Mode Fighters. The Aven are natural fighters in urban or mountainous areas as well as the plains. Their use of lightning assaults means they prefer a mobile defense rather than digging in and defending a piece of terrain. The Aven will often mine the key piece of terrain in question and then attack the enemy force from range and try to draw them into chasing the Aven force. If the enemy decides to chase the Aven will pull the enemy force into a series of repeated ambushes by fast moving vehicles while MMF attack from the sky and rear. The enemy force is harrassed until it disperses out of frustration in its inability to bring the Aven to a stand-up fight. This will provide unit descriptions and game statistics for a typical Aven War Flock and their tactics. This PDF is required to play through the Ghost War Campaign.
