Game Strategy:

I. Remember the Unit Counter System

• Infantry is suitable for capturing cities but has weak firepower;
• Tanks are divided into light and heavy types, with light tanks being agile and heavy tanks being durable;
• Anti-tank guns and rocket launchers have powerful attacks but limited mobility;
• Air units (helicopters, fighters, bombers) are countered by anti-air missile vehicles;
• Naval units are suitable for long-range advancement but are expensive to build.

Be sure to remember: "Fighting the strong with the weak" by simply stacking numbers is not advisable. Pairing units appropriately is key to victory.

II. Capture and Resource Allocation Priorities

• Cities provide funds (daily +1000G), and capturing neutral cities as early as possible is the foundation for development.
• Maintain a stable cash flow to ensure continuous unit production and resupply.
• It is recommended to start by building infantry for rapid expansion, and then choose to build tanks or artillery support depending on the enemy situation.

III. Terrain Utilization Determines Life and Death

• Forests and mountains provide higher defense bonuses;
• Cities and bases have recovery functions and are suitable for defensive deployments;
• Use bridges, rivers, and other obstacles to restrict the advancement of enemy heavy units.
• Cleverly utilizing terrain is the core strategy for reversing the situation.

IV. Pay Attention to the Timing of CO Skill Release

• Each CO's skill gauge accumulates with combat, and "CO Power" can be released when full.
• For example, Andy's skill can repair all units at the same time, suitable for the eve of a counterattack;
• Sami's skill increases infantry movement and capture speed, suitable for explosive city capture.
• The key to skills lies in rhythm control: the best time to release for defensive counterattacks is when enemy troops are approaching.

V. Enemy Reconnaissance and Supply Management

• Scout units can provide vision, avoiding ambushes.
• Remember to replenish ammunition and fuel regularly, especially for long-range units and air force units. Poor logistics will result in loss of combat power.
• You can use APCs and other transport units for rapid support and supply.
