Colonel Strickman

The commander of a guerrilla unit near Iceland, Colonel Strickman is a "living legend," and has a key role in Operation Stranglehold, as he supplies men, weapons, and vehicles. He is an NPC infantry unit, and while not very strong, he will always come out on top in a fight; it just might take a while. He gives the player a tutorial on building a base in Strategy mode. He has a British accent.

He and his men were in Iceland near the Hybrid facility featured in Act 1 before it was built, and have established a carefully disguised base on-site. It resembles a disused car repair shop, but actually extends far underground. General Dem is surprised by the poor condition of the base, but Strickman insists that "it's what's on the inside that counts," showing Dem the highly modern and efficient interior.
