@streetwisecoffee: Soldiers' starting exp. is random... they can vary from 50 exp. to 5 exp. BTW, a soldier w/ less than 10 exp(or rifle skills) is considered disabled.
@Fosite: You have to send in a bazooka early so he gets experience. The more exp. he has, the more accurate he will shoot at targets. And they probably shot at the soldiers first either because the were Leibs w/ binoculars, or they were just inexperienced.
@grasshopper: You need to make a bunker to prevent your men from dying from the air strikes. You can make a bunker by ordering an engineer to make one. And your signaler does work; it just takes time for his instructions to take effect. You can make his commands go faster by making your engineer build an antennae.
I went to the First Epic Stage, I finally got the "Beat level 60 on any field" amulet, then the damn swarm monsters took over my whole friggin territory.... I had three level 6 gems, one of them was a bloodbound gem, with four level 5 amplifiers -.-
