BotD tips, pick british, pick first mission, train unit ONLY 3 times, wait till win due to enemy surrending, BotD will check after selecting the upgrades before following mission.

I've just encountered the same bug two times in a row : some units, enemy once, mine once, would run all the way to the end of the battlefield, ignoring enemy units and even trenches (like walking on top instead of going down in it and getting out of it), which resulted in a ground victory for the unit both times...

This game is not difficult if you know what to spend your points on. Just put everything into fire support because that’s the way to go for later missions. It’s compulsory to get the 40% faster resupply. Don’t over-deploy infantries because that might reduce your morale.

The game is completely rigged against you from the third mission. Random bombs rain down on your trench before you artillery is even available, and you lose via morale because your 3 rifle units get completely annihilated by 1 lewis gunner. The grenade unit has to be the worst part, there's only one guy with grenades and he almost always dies instantly so there's only two guys remaining????
Completely stupid game with the worst balancing I've ever seen

This game taught me a lot about the tactics of war back in 2008, thanks to my HS teacher Mr. Vincent. I mean, I played this beforehand but still, it's unforgiving.

The Germans had tanks to kill off my men, fire support to fend off my tanks, reinforcing soldiers and they surrender to one guy on their territory.

@Dizzula: I agree. There are plenty of game that have gotten badges recently that could be chosen for being BotD instead of one that seems to keep popping up once every 2-3 months.

Damn, badge of the day for 2 weeks straight? I already played this game long enough last week to get the first 3 easy badges, so I got the BOTD today instantly.

to anyone having an infuriating time with the later missions you need to kinda break the game mechanics: the morale loss rate is set really high and there are a LOT of mines, so if you spawn more troops than you absolutely have to you have a 100% chance of auto-surrendering no matter how overwhelmingly you are winning the fight.
you need to hold back on making troops as much as possible and just abuse the support powers for all they are worth (almost literally).

I cannot express what BS this game is. I've seen my own guys "explode" (3 or 4 guys die simulatenously) 20 times. I've not seen the enemy do that ONCE. They are firing artillery before mine is half way ready. This is atrocious.

And then they send 6 Germans, they last several seconds. I send 6 Allies. They're dead before they kneel. 2/5 for a good concept and fine graphics.

The interface is brutal. The scrolling doesn't work half the time. And the fire support - you wait, wait, wait and then you click on it and it you wait some more or it never comes. HEH?!?
