Why is this game so hard?!?!?!?
SO this looked like a good game, but I can barely even beat the tutorial. I bring in more & more units, but there just seems to be an infinite supply of enemies that show up before I get even anywhere near enemy held territory. Not to mention how long it takes for more units to actually reach the battle line. By they time they show up, my tank battalions are long gone from enemy fire.

Seriously, even the EASY mode is too hard.

I am a seasoned gamer with many 10's of 1,000's of hours of gameplay on all kinds of games. This is by far one of the most difficult I have ever played. I understand now why this game bombed and went for sale not long after its release.

maybe there's a mod out there, I havent played it but I bought to see the series. I
'm sure it'll be a mess but we'll see. Hopefully there is some mods out there that can help in some way.

I feel for ya.Samething happens to me.Stopped play along time ago.I always say the computer cheats.
Start using brain. You don't need 100 tanks, you need small number and good recon force. When you see enemy its easy to destroy him. Try attack from flanks, tanks have less armor on left/right side or behind (tank ass)

The reason I stopped playing this, is the AI not needing recon.

Even when you set up good ambush points, the AI will just saturate the area with MRL's from the other side of the map.

And don't even think about putting up a recon chopper, the AI always knows exactly where it is at all times, and their fighters will always take them out before you shoot them down.
Maybe you just don't see enemy recon. This game is not "sit in the woods like a duck and wait" but like "make strategic decision's, make them fast, but use brain first". This game is not like COD or BF (stupid games = shoot 100 times i every direction).. Watch some movies on YT or find a buddy to play with (voice chat necesary)

oh stfu, can't stand fanboys who think they are so expert that any criticism is laughed off as inept ability. The OVERWHELMING conclusion by the MAJORITY of players is that HONESTLY the game has a very oppressive and unbalanced AI. and that INCLUDES many of your claimed "Let's play" videos in which you are taught TRICKS and WORKAROUNDS on how to PLAY and ENJOY the game DESPITE the cheating and oppressive AI system which they have never bothered to fix or tone down. This does not mean the players are lazy or inept (though of course as with any game some are but not the majority) it means they expect FUN and get frustration. Your fanboy response and accusations are not true nor helpful. Be honest, like most of the let's play vids, guides and so forth.....the game IS a mess where the AI is concerned and there are ways, tricks and workarounds to attempt to adjust your gameplay enough to make the game fun enough to buy or play. That's unfortunately part of the challenge. Also why this series isn't more popular. Those are the facts, you insulting other games and the players of this one is baldergash.

Well. Maybe you're right. I'm sorry if I over reacted. I'm not a fanboy. I found solution for A.I cheating.

I'm sure lots of players who would like to play the game would love those hints and workarounds so they can justify buying and playing the game. I know I would love to read what you (or anyone else) did to work around some of the AI problems and make the game more enjoyable.
I will try to write something ASAP :) Maybe tomorrow.

There is a learning curve and it is pretty steep compared to nearly every other RTS game. Once you find a set of counters and start relying on some decent infantry then you can withstand a rush or two. It definitely takes some practice and lots of youtube clips and strategy guides.
Use your brain to win. I haven't any issues fight the AI. If you learn how to play, you can crush the AI.

I've played through several campaigns, but if you need to learn a string of exploits to win......well it's not really tactics, or tactically realistic.

Give me 10 more minutes and i will upload tutorial. Just wait.
That's all. When I'm doing this.. I'm the winner. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454389943
