occasionally you will get brutalized that is the game you will have bad battles and good battles an important thing to have is experience in this game dont overspend on stupid things equally equip your men also play a while enjoy yourself learn and as a reward you'll get some medals that will improve your men and improved drops and try new strategys use trees and rocks as cover to flank use trenches use sandbags to make a flank your enemies dont get cocky just dig in and hold your area if your trees are cut down move up to the top and take some ground close is good remember all that read it as you play and your first game should be alright
