Mech Brigade

When offered the opportunity to purchase Attack Helicopters, you should turn it down. Your opponent will have no way of knowing your decision and will be forced to buy an Air Force Defense Unit, which is ineffectual against almost anything besides helicopters. You can then use your extra purchasing power to buy more tanks, which you can never have enough of. Speaking of tanks, when on defense or in a meeting engagement, get the fastest tanks you can. Try to leave a reserve company deployed well to the north or south of your main body. Once the bulk of your troops are fully engaged and the enemy's main force has been located, slip this reserve force at full speed behind the enemy, preferably placing them in covered terrain. They can then blast away at the enemy's weak back armor with virtual impunity. During meeting engagements, the computer is slow to get off of the mark. Thus, you can usually occupy the objective first. You should take advantage of this, since the objective squares are usually covered and you can often catch the enemy in open terrain. Whenever possible, use your tanks to support infantry. Speed can be critical in the game and in this way, you can also take best advantage of combined arms concepts. Use your MICV's primarily as anti-tank weapons. Finally, the old cliche is true. The best anti-tank weapon is another tank!
