Anybody got this?

The campaign for the empire of the rising sun is driving me into a horrendous rage ! its like the game hasn't been playtested or something because i swear its actually impossible. I've completed the soviet and allied campaigns no problem, but on the rising sun i can't even get past the 2nd mission. The 1st was almost impossible but i managed it anyway.

on this 2nd mission, i'm being destoryed within 7 minutes no matter what tactic i try. I've tried to steamroller them with infantry - no good. Tried being a turtle and just building loads of defenses - no good. I've tried steam rollering them with tanks - no good as i just get bomed to death by their air units.

Its driving me insane, and i'm not finding any help online at all. I think it actually is impossible, i'm hoping theres a tactic that works, but i doubt it. I don't think anybody actually bothered playing this game before releasing it.
 
I have it, campaign is so difficult!!

even on the ipad I can't seem to mobilise enough troops/tanks/air quick enough! On the rising sun campaign I seem to remember one of the levels your enemy has air, and your not allowed to build a runway!

have you managed the second campaign where you have 15 minutes to destory the enemy ?

They start off with a massive infrastructure, 3 bases and scores of units placed all over the map. You start with nothing.

I think it is actually impossible ! you can build air units, but spend so long building the buildings required to get them, that by the time you have them your base is full of enemy tanks and you have nothing to fight them with.

Much like the PC/Console versions?

its similar, but hugely simplified. Each of the 3 different factions have exactly the same units, and the same buildings, and the same weapons, but just renamed and to look different. Also, the number of units is hugely reduced with only 2 tanks and a mobile MCV available to each force. Same thing goes with the air units, theres one recon unit that can't fight but is fast, one ground + air attack unit and one solely ground attack unit.

It is good for a laugh, and not bad value considering its only £1.50 or whatever, but hugely simplified.

I got thus for 59p when on sale. What a load of ****. Crashed on me 2 times on first mission after 5-10 mins. What I don't understand is, if you look, the US server seems to have a version that seems to be getting updated. It says version 1.8 or something, or am I mixing it up with something else?

Here found a link. Is this not the same as our UK one?

Here is the UK one.
