Rebel Infantry

Rebel soldiers operate in small groups and can take a lot of fire when under cover. However they are not very powerful. Despite that, this infantry unit is always useful in a battle. Good for killing stormtroopers.

Plex Soldiers

These small groups of 3 soldiers are a nightmare to any opposing team. They are very strong against any type of armoured vehicle and structures. This combined with the fact that they are very cheap and rapid to build make the PLEX soldiers an excellent unit. However, like every other infantry units, they are susceptible to getting run over. And a squad of stormtroopers would eventually manage to kill them.

Infiltrator

The infiltrator is an elite rebel ranger, capable of sniping way at enemy infantry or throwing thermal detonators at enemy vehicles. They also move faster than other infantry units. However, it is hard to justify using the map population and making an army out of them, since there are only 2 of them per unit. You can also kiss them goodbye if they come across a bunch of TIE Maulers.

T-2B tanks

A good tank, assuming you have a considerable number of them. Their shields will protect them from infantry fire and after a short while the T-2Bs should be able to waste them. If your group of T-2Bs come across enemy armoured units and one of them is close to losing his shields, you can bring it behind the others for the shields to recharge. This is a good unit assuming there a quite a few of them working together, otherwise it will most likely get destroyed quickly.

MPTL 2a

The MPTL 2a is a powerful unit for the Rebel faction. It is capable of unleashing a devastating barrage of missle fire on targets from 9 torpedo tubes. The firepower is impressive and allows you to immediately destroy groups of infantry and to severely damage vehicles and buildings. Each MPTL 2a comes with a spotter droid which, when using its PING function, can be used to see anywhere on the map to locate enemy forces and to place airstrike markers for bombing runs. The disadvantages that the MPTL 2a has are that it must be deployed for stabilization prior to being able to fire, is slow to move once deployed and is defenseless at close range.

T-4B tanks

These are bulky, heavily armed and armoured tanks. Although it is unshielded unlike its cousin the T-2B, it has plenty of hit points to work with. It has laser fire to take on enemy vehicles and structures and rocket fire to dispatch infantry units or targets too far out for a laser shot. A formidable unit — a group of them is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

T-47 Airspeeder

In my opinion, this is the most useful rebel unit in ground battles. They cause headaches to the opposing enemy because the only way to shoot them down is through Anti Aircraft fire. This would mean building AA turrets in the right place or provided the Empire has reached tech level 4, and has the use of AT-AAs. It can shoot at anything on the ground and eventually destroy it. Its greater purpose is in taking down the great AT-ATs thanks to its tow cable ability. All in all this is an excellent unit.
