Report RSS Rodal Juhziz description and unit-list

Since I have no access to any modelling tools, I decided to put certain promotional information concerning Rodal Juhziz. Most possibly, he will be available as playable general in coming GLA Beta Release (planned on end of summer). Good news: about 50% of work on unit-list is done Bad news: I don't have money for new video-card at present -_-

Previous war resulted in US and China cooperation put Rodal Juhziz's forces under heavy pressure. After most other branches were defeated or "neutralized" (an example of Prince Kassad), Juhziz was nearly surrounded by Chinese forces. he suffered heavy losses due to his tactics of suicidal use of any units. However, in crucial battle Terror Leader managed to hurl back Chinese troops and hold positions buying time for the rest of Juhziz's forces' escape.

After escape Juhziz reconsidered his former tactics that he now views as too costly. Heaving not so much men to waste now, he switched to more distant style of combat, putting his explosives into rounds instead of hang it on his troops.
