That moment when my highest round achieved was thanks to making countless Frenchies and sending them to the front lines...

Advice-wise... You'll want to get upgrades early, as early as possible. TP is a limited resource, so spend them as soon as you can. Get a medic early, then wander around healing up your squad. Combat Engineers save lives, too - not only with their ability to build trenches but with their starting weapon. A jeep can be helpful for both additional firepower AND a way to block off your men. You'll want to make sure your guys are surrounded on all sides by permanent cover - trenches, wire, jeeps, whatever. Stick your support troops (officers, engineers) in a bunker unless you're using them.

alternatively, for hard badge you could just go all spec ops build them a trench on the top (so grenades doesn't hurt them), give them grenades a medic and use heroism if they get in danger. watch out for frendly fire with the nades and expect that flamers will kill a few, but they get the job done. don't get more than six soldiers (you can retreat the engineer after the trenches/sandbags are done).

use medic for easy badge (it runs fast, doesn't stop for shooting). for the other two badges put a machinegunner inside a bunker in a trench and sandbags, and he should be the closest to the appearing enemies to draw fire. you can try to use two of them, but make sure they get experience. if it doesn't happen the natural way, then have an officer promote them until they get two promotions, after that they gain the 80 rest xp for themselves. don't have more than six units at any point at the bottom or top half of the screen or you will be decimated by artillery. you can try to move the gunners over the the half line and use camo nets to hide those extra soldiers. use engineer to place tank mines to blow up tanks or other vehicles that scares you.

Contrapoint a few comments down from me got overrun by the stealth units. This is the Unfair Squad Game and with most of your guys dead no one was alive to see them, so they got the incursions needed to beat him. This game is literally impossible to win. Your only hope is to hold out for as many waves as you can, move up to the top on occasion to get the next battlefield screen if you can, but otherwise you're supposed to get mad and frustrated. Surviving 50 waves is doable - I've got the badge - but prepare to get your knickers in a twist getting there. It took me.... man, years ago, but I think it was something like 38 tries. I've no advice because the game is a crap shoot as to what you're up against each time around.

Mmm'kay. I would like to know how I got over-ran when I only had 1 incursion, and even though most of my guys just got slaughtered in an instant, I was sending out another 4 point gunner. Instant loss? I think not. Hideous amount of lag and unresponsive controls too. Good game this ain't.

As someone not familiar with squad games. This game seems to have a pretty steep learning curve. And yes, I'm here for the badge of the day.

this game doesn't get bad comments because it's old. it gets bad comments because it's defective. i should've have to play it over again because stats won't track right and i didn't think i'd have to snap a screenshot for the easy badge. and i was over halfway to medium badge too. it's also dreadfully overdone and needlessly complex, with no progression curve as far as learning how to play. yes, that's kinda how it was done back in the 70's and early 80's, but that's not what we expect of games now. try again.

Why is this getting bad comments, Oh wait it's badge of the day. This is from 2008 and I still like playing this, this game is supposed to be hard and unfair, this isn't COD or Battlefield.

An infantry member with a morale of 49 and the only thing he' fighting with is his pistol. I wonder why he's so happy.

I love how all the negative comments fail to see it's an old game. I don't like it either, but come on, its last update was in 2008. The game's within that year's scope.

That feeling of relief when you see that you've already earned this badge and don't have to play this awful game again.

Your tactic doesn't work. I placed 50 cal platforms 6 at most and by wave 35 some mortars come and destroy everything!!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
An easy way to get the hard badge:
1. Buy .50 cal platforms until you have six men.
2. Once you can afford a platform and you are at six men, sacrifice your non-platformed soldier and place the platform. If you go over six, airstrikes will start and one-shot your platforms.

Ever get that moment when you spend a total of 24 tp on a half track and the AT gun on top of it just to have it blow itself up?
