I can't even finish the last tutorial mission on this.

The purpose of the one is to teach you that you need to use tanks, recon and air together. At the start you get enough points for 2 x harriers - use you OH58D to scout ahead and remove the vehicles moving into your position. Then move you tanks forward into cover. Then scout and move - scout and move etc removing obstacles as appropriate with air strikes.

Tried a couple more times like you said but I just get hammered by Jets and choppers and then I cannot create any more units. It's also annoying that my Harriers cannot find the enemy. Was just left with 6 Harriers and could do nothing other than fly through the AA cannons until dead.

Tbh I'm not really enjoying this game just finding it more frustrating than fun.

I've just recorded the first half of that one for you _ I'll upload it in a sec so you can see how I do it (not that I am saying it's the right way just what works for me).


Would have done the whole thing for you but NEED curry!

Join up with one of us and we can play the AI. The key is to place stuff into cover where possible and understand some of the mechanics eg NATO tanks have good stabilisation and can shoot on the move - PACT less so.

Cheers for this, I do it almost the same but I capture each of the zones on the way. This could be where I'm going wrong.

It's about now in your video that I start getting hammered by planes and choppers and the AA rips my planes to bits.

Hurry up and finish you Curry and upload the rest..... :D

Will try using cover more tbh I'm new to this game even though I have the previous one I did not play it much.
 
Just done the mission. Using Cover and a few planes it was actually quite easy when I thought about it.

Tomorrow I will start on the main game, I'm sure I will fail miserably but enjoying the game now.
 
Shall we start a list of in game names?

OcUK name - In game name

DutchSchaeffer - McSniz
bakes0310 - bakes0310
tals - tals
Xordium - Volcane
AllyH - DeathStalker789

Please repost this list with any additions / corrections you may have to make it easier for people as they read through the thread :)

NB in game on the main options screen to click on 'Profile' to access the friends list.

I would be very keen for some OcUK vs randoms team games if we can get together. I think I will try and specialise my deck, I will be trying out recon/air shortly! Great to support a tank based deck.

I am level 2 now after playing through the tutorials, does going up in level actually have any benefits or is it just a guide to how experienced (or not in my case!) you are?

Just for show now they made a last minute change to the system. Previously as you went up levels you got stars to unlock the units. Now you get all units from the off which is great for getting your decks interesting from the off.
 
Put in approaching 200 hours on EE and loved it, it just got to the point where it was too hard to find a match :(

Really excited about this one, adding you all :)
