Shut one down (by destroying the bridge or piling up a ton of landmines, tank traps, barbed wire, etc) and then set up your killing field on the other.


Find a map that has a couple of key points where you can engage the enemy. One thing that the computer is weak on is chokepoints. The computer is VERY good at running multiple groups of troops, constantly harassing you and taking back points.Īnnihilation mode at least gives you more time to breathe and get a feel for the game. If you still want to try skirmish avoid the control-point countdown (I forget what they call that mode - you start with 500 points and they count down as the enemy holds strategic points. On Normal I have to fight like (what feels like) crazy just to stay even. I’m two-thirds of the way through the campaign but in skirmish mode the computer just wipes me out on anything above Normal. In skirmish mode the computer is brutally effective. Yeah, work your way through at least some of the campaign first so you can get comfortable with the game.
