Capture Hill 182:
-----------------
While not nessacarilly a cheat, it is cheap. Select the 2 infantry squads and engineer
squad you start this map with, and right click the command point your supposed to capture
at the top of the hill. While they are making thier way up, quickly fill your barracks
queue with infantry and the BAR upgrade, then follow the group you sent up progress. Towards
the top they will come across the artillary spotting tower which you need to take out for
the medal. fill it up with grenades to take it out, and quickly garrioson it when its clear.
now a Panzer and a fire truck might block the road up to the top, just quickly pop in and
out of the tower and toss sticky bombs on the panzer. You might lose this first squad but
its ok. Back at base just keep producing infantry until your population cap is reached,
group all squads in 1 and right click the command point at the top of the hill and start
your violent exodious. ignore most the treats on the way off, but dont hesitate to sticky
bomb any of the fire trucks that might stop you, as soon as thier taken out right click on
the command point again. The sheer mass numbers is too much for the enemy to wipe out
completly so your squads will make it through though probaly 1 or 2 to a squad once thier
at the command point its hard for the enemy to dislodge them, and viola, easy way to beat
a hard level.
Destroy Axis HQ in St. Fromond easily:
--------------------------------------
Although this isn't a cheat is is easy to do. Earn at least one command point and get the
Air Recon ability, then recon at the enemy HQ. The AA guns there should shoot your plane
down but the plane will go into the enemy HQ and do lots of damage to it. Do this three
times and the HQ will fall and the Medal for doing it is yours!
Tank Driving and Maneuvering:
-----------------------------
The only thing important in tank driving refers to the tanks ability to reverse the way you
want it to. Moving forward isn't a problem. Backing up is. If you click a destination too far
from the tanks current position, the tank will turn first and move later. This will make the
tank vulnerable to enemy fire (side and rear armor), especially in tight situations. Clicking
a short distance behind the tank, will make the tank retreat/reverse without making any
unnecessary turns while making sure the strong front armor still faces the enemy.
This however, is better used with individual tanks. Moving tanks in groups under fire is
almost impossible to simulate effectively though.
Maximizing the use of Snipers:
------------------------------
The uses of Snipers are obvious: Kill a dude wearing a helmet and disappear before his
buddies can think of a swear word!
But Snipers also have a secondary use often taken for granted: their ability to Camouflage.
As long as they are under camouflage orders, they will not be seen under any circumstance
(except by anti-sniper units). This is extremely useful in the front lines as Snipers have
a very long sight range which works well together with your artillery and other Snipers!
Just remember to opt the "Hold Fire" command or your "Sniper-Scout" will be another body
bag in the front lines.
Use your mind to mine:

I cant remember what mission number this is (maybe the 3rd), but its the mission where you
control fox company and need to capture the church and secure the town square then in the
next mission the Germans will be coming from the north and you must survive for 15mins till
able company arrives. The objectives in mission 3 (i guest) is to capture the church and
make it a barracks and secure the town square.
They never tell to capture 2 ammunition sectors in the north, will, go for it, its not
depended, not a single German. Capture it and mine the whole place and the bridges, out of
ammunition?, don't worry, take your time. Also capture the fuel sector in the east to make
bunkers in the next mission. The mines wont disappear and will decapitate any enemies who
step on it and blow tanks sky high.
