Tips for New Players

[Bad Herr Day]

I've had games where I needed to create a heavy to survive and then I went on to win. It was a game with just 1 spawn space and my opponent had 2 soldiers right next to my spawn space and those were the only units on the board. If I had created anything else he would have won by killing it and covering my spawn space. I had to create a heavy to kill one of his soldiers and survive the next move.

So I reckon that it's rarely the best option to create a heavy, but sometimes it is essential!
