	It is important to know at the middle chokepoint there are up to 3 levels with the upper 2 levels being only available to infantry. Also, ramps are available at all side chokepoints, but only can be built on your half of the map. For each main base there are 6 entrances with 2 being on each side except the back wall which is the end of the map.

	'''Impromptu Forward Base:''' If for some reason you can't build a forward base in the middle of the map, move an APC up whenever the area is safe. However, don't just leave the APC sitting there. Park near a wall and behind some cover, then place walls around two sides of it, leaving only one (hopefully, the rear) entrance open, and consider dropping turrets or cameras near it. This will give you a cheap, fast forward base that's protected from everything but grenadiers on the roof of the fortress structures.

	'''Stalingrad:''' If you happen to lose control of the middle, don't give up yet. Some matches on this map have been won because the aggressive side was too enthusiastic in holding their ground. Make sure your team has engineers and is using revive, and try to inflict as much damage on enemy infantry as possible. Prevent the enemy from breaching the ~~middle~~ at all cost--if they get tanks past your entrance ramps you're in serious trouble. Your main threat when trying this tactic is artillery; these will eat through your defenses in no time and you wont have the resources to counter them. But if you can pull this off, you'll find the enemy offensive pleasantly absent when their tickets drop to single digits. This isn't a strategy to rely on frequently, but this map is made to favor the defender and with good teamwork this is possible as a last-ditch effort.

	'''Base Lock-down:''' There are many entrances to each base and wise commanders wall off a few entrances to prevent the enemy team sneaking into their base and preventing tanks a direct line of fire on the command vehicle and important structures.

Also, it is common strategy to place many missile launching turrets at the front 2 entrances to the respective base and a few machinegun turrets around the base to prevent pesky infantry.
