Tutorial: Flanking

The main strategy in the game is to use cover and flanking. Soldiers sitting behind a tree or a rock will get less damage than soldiers without cover. This can be a problem if enemy has a good position and good cover.

The way to overcome enemy cover is to use flanking. This means attacking from multiple directions at the same time. Cover is most effective only towards the direction that the soldier is facing. So two soldiers facing each other will get full cover, where as attacking from behind will negate any cover.

In picture above, group Alpha (green arrow) is least effective Charlie (red arrow) most effective and Bravo (orange arrow) in between. In practice you will need to pin the enemy with one unit and then move other units to the enemy side.

Tutorial: Basic Controls

The basic controls are very simple: select a unit from the badge and and click on a tile to move the unit there. Units will automatically attack enemies in range so there is no need to do anything.

Only other commands are for using Grenades and Bazookas. There is no need to pick the target but the AI will automatically pick the best target at sight. For grenade it tries to pick largest group of enemies to cause maximal damage. For Bazooka it will try pick enemy mg spots, but will also shoot groups of enemies.
