Commander Tactics
Chokepoints: The middle chokepoint is the critical point on this map. The first infantry rush towards this middle chokepoint usually dictates who will dominate the first half, if not all, of the match.
Important Note: 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. It is common strategy to place walls at the side entrances to the main base. 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.
Squad Level Tactics
Begin the match by rushing the middle with both engineers and riflemen. Riflemen are to attack any enemy rushing infantry, while engineers construct both machinegun turrets and the 2 refineries at the middle chokepoint. The first five minutes are crucial for who receives not only an added income for research upgrades, but provides a forward base to push back the enemy. If not taken becoming a scout with the hide ability is suggested. This is suggested to be able to climb to the roof of the center building/base and provides excellent view to take out engineers building refineries and turrets. The hide ability plays the important role of not being able to be hit by enemy machinegun turrets.
During the middle phase of this map squads are suggested to use both tanks and APCs in tandem to allow progress to the side of the enemy’s main base. Engineers are used extensively in this process to allow both the repairing of tanks and the building of a barracks on the side of the enemy’s base to allow an all out attack. Suggested squads are made up of both grenadiers and engineers.
During the final phase of this map squads are suggested to be primarily grenadiers due to their anti-tank/turret abilities. If working in tandem a squad of grenadiers can eliminate turrets created by the enemy and provide enough firepower to destroy both the enemy’s barracks and command vehicle.
