| Tactics ( Round 1-4) | Turns 1-4 are at night. Although you are scattered about, you have the element of surprise. Recon, move quick and take them by surprise. Only the Bold players that are willing to kick some teeth in will win the day. You MUST capture Objective in 4 turns, before the sun comes up. DO NOT HESISTATE. |
Turns 1-4 are at night. Although your slow to wake and prepare for combat, the US Soldiers are scattered far and wide from their airdrop. Use surprise as a crucial element. Defend and cause as many casualties as you can. |
| Tactics ( Round 5-8) | Turns 5-8 is the real battle and the counter attack. Repeal at all costs. Dig in and hope for the best. |
Turns 5-8 is the real battle. It is a daylight counter attack. You outnumber the defending US Infantry, move in fast and hard supported wit armor and Mortars. |
