hey!

just downloaded the whopping massive demo 1.8gb. It plays really well any im really liking it, feels abit like dawn of war but more realistic. However on skirmish, even on easy i get totally owned.

Any tips?

cheers :D
 
Well I bought the game and skirmish is pretty hard. I won my round. Really my tip is to rush the enemy. What I do is setup very good defences, machine gun nests etc. Then I build more and more Tanks and what not and rush the enemy then send my troops in to cap the point. I had around 30 Tanks that I rushed in with lol, they didn't expect that and I easily wiped them out. Btw playing as Axis and selecting the Terror doctorain I think it is gives you a V1 bomb on the last part of the command part. Thats what I use to wipe out the Shermans, they are a tough nut to crack.
 
just beat them on easy :D Took me a hour and 16 minutes. All i did was build about 8 mortar squads and places them on the 2 choke points to my base, backed up by a mg crew and a anti tank cannon thingy. Held them off long enough before they started using snipers and 88's against me lol.

Eventually i moved my mortar teams forward and slowly built a army, captures points, secured the area with more defences and used artillery and rangers to sneak in bases and wipe the odd tank out here and there.

Best strategy game ive played in years!!!!!!!

How did you have 30 tanks? Each tank is basically 8 population, so 30 x 8 = 240

So you had a 240 pop limit :confused:

No I have a program that allows me to break the population cap, and only that. First time I did Skirmish I won but it took me over 2 hours.

Next time I thought if there was no population cap it would be better, so I got a trainer that allows you to have unlimited population, it has other cheats such as fast building, give enemy 0 resources etc but I like a challenge, but I also like building my units up into a huge army. I'll post a link for the trainer once I find it.

Yeah I think its on that site, I only have the zip file but I couldn't remember where I got it.

It works fine btw, I've tried it all out on one map making like 400 Tanks on instant settings lmao.
 
I like building huge armies of paras with the recoiless rifle upgrade. They destroy buildings and tanks in like 1 hit! Reinforcing them is easy too since they drop from the sky so you almost have unlimited troops...
