Infantry and Tanks are the basic attack units seen in all ''Nintendo Wars'' games. The ones seen in ''Brawl'' are red, which is one of the four colors which are given to a player based on player order (1st player - red, 2nd player - blue, 3rd player - green, 4th - yellow). Infantry have the least amount of power and have low mobility, but are useful in that they can capture enemy bases and conquer buildings. Tanks have more power than infanty, and their mobility is considerably higher, are weaker compared to other vehicles, such as the Medium Tank and Artillery. ''Advance Wars'', ''[[warswiki:Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising|Advance Wars 2]]'', and ''{{s|warswiki|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}'' all use the same sprites for each unit.
