    You'll get this over time as you're playing multiplayer, blitz, and skirmish(Update, apparently Skirmish counts again! Skirmish does NOT count, thanks to multiple reporters for verifying!), but if you want to boost it you just need to use these units against enemy infantry.
    Also, if you're boosting with a friend in a private match, Strongholds where you leave one Stronghold uncaptured goes into Sudden Death and you have lots of time to do these achievements for specific kills. smile

    Also note, sometimes if any other type of unit happens to hit your target, then it seems to cancel out the 'kill' for the purposes of this achievement. Sometimes it seems like you have to get the kill 100% with the anti-infantry unit.

    UNSC:
    any Hellbringers
    Sniper

    ***any Warthog--this unit even though showing definitely as being good against infantry, doesn't COUNT as anti-infantry according to Adny.

    Additional UNSC units that 'might' count for this achievement because they are good against infantry:
    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***


    Banished:
    Elite Rangers
    Suicide Grunts

    ***any Chopper -- same as above, this unit probably does NOT count
    ***any Marauder -- same as above, this unit probably does NOT count

    GorelomSeems they may have fixed whatever issue skirmish mode was having. I'm getting progress in a skirmish against ai.

    Hurricane MattI just got this playing in Skirmish and these are the tips I have to share. Playing with the UNSC, the only kills I could get to count were kills with Sniper untis that were fully upgraded (active camo and better ammo upgrades). I couldn't get hellbringer kills to count at all so don't bother. Also, the best AI to face is YapYap as he prefers making infantry to other units, at least on easy.

    If you have the colony this and the two similar ones can be done in one game (although it may take a while).

    Leader: Colony
    Map: Fort Jordan
    Difficulty: I used Normal but this may work on other difficulties as long as the AI doesn't get "smart" about it
    Enemy: I used random and got the colony which worked out for me but other leaders may work.

    Tactic: first of all grab all the bases except the furthest 2 from your starting map. Next earn leader points to unlock combat repair. Now all you need to do is set up each base with enough turrets to stay alive, post up some units om either slope of their base, and put either elite rangers (for the anti-infabtry achievement) or hunters (for anti-vehicle) in the garrisons of the teleport pad in front of your base (where the enemy will come out of. Also post up some Reavers there for the anti-air achievement.

    Now you can leave your game running and what SHOULD happen is that the enemy will just continuously funnel their infantry, vehicles, and air through their teleporter and into your meat grinder. And with the combat repair, on normal, you shouldn't lose any troops even if you walk away from your game for a couple hours. Also works for getting the hunter captain taunts as you can put him near the slope of their base and keep taunting enemy troops as they go by.
