Ok so I have been wrecking people as the Imperial guard on dawn of war, I'm here to tell you the Pro's and cons.

First of lets list the Pro's and con's of the Guard:

Pro's
- Cheap infantry with a lot of soldiers per squad.
- Lots of tanks
- Artillery is powerful and stronger than other factions
- Great defenses. Guardsman have the ability to dig in while in combat providing a small cover bonus.
- fastest reinforce speed and the ability to have an early unit free once at a certain point.
- strongest tanks.

Con's
- Weak infantry
-Beginning unit is cheap but extremely weak in every way.
- Tanks take a little time to get to.
- Weak moral
- Not good offense except when using a combined arms attack.

Tips
-Use your artillery, it is powerful and cheap
- Use tons of infantry supported by tanks and stronger units
- try to avoid Infantry vs infantry unless you have a extreme numerical advantage
- Build defenses as quick as you can, your Defenses are amazing.
