Guys, check this site regularly:

EA are doing what Blizzard are doing for Starcraft 2 and releasing information on the new units a couple a week. What we have so far is pretty cool:
Allies:
Peacekeepers. Basic infantry, armed with shotguns. Secondary function is a riotshield which allows them to close in on enemy infantry, and blast them
Soviets:
Bullfrog. Amphibious anti-air and infantry transport. No ground attack, but devastating to aircraft. Can store 5 infantry, including bulkier units like Tesla Troopers and War Bears, but can only fire them out into the air, meaning ejection in areas of anti-air defence is suicide. So no engineering runs for the Soviets it seems, but it will presumably be the quintessential anti-air thing
Sickle: Very interesting light vehicle, has three machine guns that can attack 3 things, but due to their positioning they can't actually all fire on the same thing at the same time. Secondary function is the capacity to leap off cliffs - including onto enemy infantry, killing them. If you're retreating from a failed attack, this unit will probably be a complete bastard, using its 3 guns to take down all your weak units at once.
Natasha Volkova: Soviet Commando unit, equivalent to Tanya presumably. Unclear what her primary and secondary functions are as yet, the page on her focusses on her story role.
