Hi guys!

I am a newbie in this forum and have never played against a potent human being (my friends are hotseat cannonfodder and don´t like playing with me - on the other hand they kick my *** when it comes to playing UnrealTournament:D )

...but I am fond of this game since ´98 so I know how to play..


...anyway, don´t blame me if tell obsolete stuff:)


Did you ever wonder how to hide in the open when playing with an infantry nation against AI-armor?

Here´s a little defense trick: buy a reasonable amount of CHEAP trucks or something...

Park them in front of your victory hexes and let them be blown away...

...creap your infantry behind the burning rubble...

...the enemy usually goes the easy way DIRECTLY thru the wreckage so your infantry can assault happiliy:cool:

Especially useful in the long Japanese campaign..

...the enemy armor is a pain in the back in those battles...

That absolutely works against AI, but if you're going to play against human, my advice is: Don't even try, because I'm quite sure it doesn't work:D :rolleyes:

BTW, Welcome to the forum KuschelWurm, and have fun;) :D

Sandman is correct...

against the AI those types of tricks work well...try that in a Pbem or online and you'll have a bunch of dead soldiers. :D :p ;)
