GameTips
——–
Tip 1:
——
Experienced TA generals should skip the advice portion of the mission briefing and
dive immediately into each scenario without any preconceptions.
This greatly reduces the training mode feeling.
Tip 2:
——
The mobile Annihilator cannons should always travel in packs of three; this will
keep them
from being overwhelmed while allowing them to lay down devastating firepower.

Killer Construction Vehicles:

Your Construction Vehicles are not useless after your base is built.
When a fleet of enemies is at your bases door, include the Construction

Set a Construction Vehicle to Reclaim, then target an enemy.
Your vehicle will suck the life out of it, kill it, then add some metal to
your gauge.
Retreating:
———–
If you are in skirmish mode and there is a color that is friendly try creating
a safe area connecting your base with that colors base. If there is an attack
on your base and you need to retreat, you can go through that safe area and take
cover with the friendly for the time it takes you to build another base.
