Killing the enemy HQ is a good thing! Having your HQ killed is a bad thing. Protect you HQ, hunt his HQ.

Buildings eat AFV's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. AFV's are drawn to buildings like a moth to a flame. Move 1 hex at a time when a building is near!

Buildings that have enemy units in them are really fun to drive into. Just make sure you have a big tank. Then your infantry can follow and clean up. (my last AI battle I drove through building all day without immoblizing a single tank)

Don't pee into the wind.

Since 7.1 AFVs are rarely immobilized. Try it, its fun!

I like using those big 150mm guns for buildings, a lot easier on the tracks.

Sure, and Lucy will hold the football for Charlie Brown. You can't make me do it!!

You will hear a veteran soldier yell 'INCOMING!!' when the enemy begins to shell your position. That same soldier will yell 'SH#T, NOT AGAIN!!' when a friendly aircraft approaches.

Also, when friendly artillery begins he will usually yell both.

As an infantry squad you have the option to ALT-M (melee). This does not work against tanks. You just break your knuckles.

As a tank, you have the option to ALT-O (overrun). This results in gun barrel swordfights. Occasionally, two tanks that have been gun barrel swordfighting will bend their barrels around each other in such a way that they can not seperate on thier own. Throwing napalm on them usually works to seperate them.

Leave the lovebirds be. I've seen elephants do the same thing on Discovery. He's not hurting her, Bernie.

Goblins are funny!

Bagpipes however, will cause instant 100% suppresion to all troops. Warning, do not attempt to use bagpipes in any Indian or North African battle as they are suspected of attracting very aggressive bull elephants.

Lay off the pipes, man.

For the Japanese-

Katana's? Are you serious? Bring a rifle and grenades instead.

Goblin- A Goblin advises against the Cuisinart

If you run out of ammo in a desperate situation try to get the enemy laughing by telling him jokes. The more the better. Keep telling them until he's laughing so hard his eyes are watering (equivalent to suppression :80) then club him to death with your empty rifle.

When fighting in the desert, do not forget your SPF90. The sun is your number one danger!

To guarantee the arrival of your Special Ops troops, place their infiltration hexes nowhere near where you will actually need them. If you put them where you need them (i.e. in a dangerous spot), your troops will not show up.
