Don't care much for this special op, as it kills off "in-effective" units and gives the others a boost. Stay away from any specials that kill your own units... Not sure what they were thinking on this one?

actually the infantry officers are pretty much dead weights, especially if used on anything stronger than recons/infantries. the best part about Communist Purge is that it's very cheap, which means you can use it often. moreover it's not like Zhukov has any good ops, Sabotage is very marginal(works mainly against noobs or in a double sabotage act), so there's really no reason to save the xp for something else...
personally I found this to be the most effective used on infantries that fight against mechs, in which case every little extra stats help, and it's not focused on mortars or snipers. |

my first complaint about this op would be that it only lasts 30 seconds! all of the other comparably priced ops last for 60 seconds... well, excluding the equally disappointing Forced March.
secondly, killing off one member of the regiment isn't that great for offensive operations. if you can keep this regiment in supply-- it's not tolerable for defensive work. if you could safely deploy a supply drop before using the purge-- you might get it to work on offensive actions against the enemy. but that's counting on a lot of good luck!
third problem I have with this op is that the recharge time is pretty long. you have a four minute wait for a $200 op to recharge? and this is when you have the supply drop, saboteur as the alternative?
curiously, this operation works just fine on mechanized infantry regiments and doesn't kill the CO ( it's a half-track. this op only kills infantry COs). of course, people are advised strongly against using mixed regiments during online play. but in this case, you could use this special op and not suffer from the normal penalty that comes with it. so it'd probably be just fine for offline play. |

Probably one of the weakest ops I should say. |
