Some basic tips/idea's
Hello,

I love wargames (This acc doesn't have many) and I'm usually pretty decent at them. This game however, my units get destroyed one after the other. I have a difficult time pushing through their lines and I don't get it. I feel like I'm missing something. Do you guys have any tips?

ETA: I have the game on another acc and just played on that one (So, no sharing). Not sure why Steam is using this acc to post while I'm obviously logged in the other one...

Good evening!

There are a few tips you should follow

1) Do not go into the Fog of War without recon, chances to be ambushed are high. Move slowly instead of rushing, unless your army is unmatched and you are moping up the enemy at the end of a scenario

2) Try to cumulate bonuses. Recon units provide damage bonus to surrounding friendlies.

3) Use the terrain at your advantage. Defend from rough terrain (forest, cities, rivers, hills). Avoid open terrain if possible.

4) Make sure your units can get supplies. If they can't repair / rearm, they will be utterly destroyed

5) Use artillery and their supportive fire. Make sure you have artillery right behind your first infantry line

6) Use tanks in open terrain, they have a lot of penalties if used in bad terrain (forest, cities...)

7) Destroy the enemy's supply sources (cities). Bomb them.

Use the control key to see the battle prediction. Choose your game settings carefully to fit your play style and difficulty. Downgrade units you do not intend to use to garrison to get some cash. Hold shift to swap two land units.
