Men Of War: Assault Squad 2 advice

[NeilF]

OK, new to this game and finding it somewhat frustrating to say the least.

It seems an odd mix of broad stroke game play, ie: tell this squad to go there, that squad to go here, that tank to go there, but then having to micro manage individual units down to the point of specific ammo for specific guns and the like.

So you concentrate on a push forwards in one area, only to come back to another area you've not been looking at 5 mins later to find every out of ammo, and under tank fire...

And then you ensure a squad has say anti-tank units in it, and quickly then lose which squad that is, among your 5 others you're moving around?

What am I missing?

I sometimes feel the same, but robbing machine guns from wrecked vehicles is brilliant, I occasionally have a Rambo character laying down heavy gunfire with his Browning. Also repairing enemy Panzers that have been abandoned is cool too!

Yeh, I've got more and more use to the pace/style... Enjoying it more now!

I got this game last week in the sales and yes the level of micromanagement can be overwhelming at times but as you say it gets better as you get used to it. Keep an eye on the unit icons, they show everything the unit has. I still can't believe how many missions there are, I've not even finished the USA ones yet!

I'm interested to know how will this plays in co-op... Might be nice for 2-3 folks to do a single map etc...
