CGs are also used for some missions that don't require alot of armed power. They're the "inside men".
I really like how everyone uses the CG's in different ways. And personally, I can certainly understand using them as Intel/sleeper agents. However, I use them completely differently...
I use the CG's as my Cobra Air Cav/Marine Corps. When I consider all the vehicles that have been produced specifically for the Crimson Guard, there's a lot of evidence to support using them in this way. Those repainted MOBATs, those Crimson Hisses, the Crimson Attack Choppers... They're begging to be an Air Cav Unit.
Basically, we use the Crimson Guard as a self-sustained unit of shock troops. They're basically the Marine Corps/Air Cav of Cobra.
So my brother and I have 12 Crimson MOBATs and about 5 or 6 Crimson Hisses. We also have 3 Crimson Attack Choppers.
All regular Crimson Guardsmen work and Mechanized Infantry/Armor soldiers. They are divided into smaller units, each lead by a Crimson Guard Immortal (more on them later).
The Crimson Shadow Guard function as the Recon/Spec Ops teams within the Crimson Guard. They ride in the Crimson Attack Choppers and work in an Air Assault capacity. They are more elite than the standard red uniform boys - sort of like the Rangers of the CG's, and are lead by an Immortal v2.
The Immortals work as the officers of the CG's, but are basically the equivalent of Special Forces. I use about 6 v1 Immortals and they are ultimately lead by my v2 Immortal.
I also have a 6 man team of Crimson Alley Vipers that I use for an Urban assault/building clearing team. And because they're the right color scheme, I'm considering assigning the new Cobra Divers to the CG's unit just because it would be good to have a contingent of divers on hand, and the color scheme fits.
I suppose I think of the CG's as way tougher/smarter than Vipers... and probably smarter than any other Cobra Troops - which is why they are able to act so independently and self sufficiently as a unit. I don't think they're as tough as Range-Vipers or Para-Vipers, but I've never thought of the entire Marine Corps as being as tough as the Rangers, either.
Basically, the CG's are the fastest large Unit Cobra can throw into an operation. They're the spearhead that goes in first, establishes a hold, and allows the rest of the Cobra force to move in. That's just my take on them.
