I may be missing some game mechanic or sth because mission 11 in chapter 2 feels like impossible. I already switched to relaxed but this mission is too much for me. All I got is Sheridans, M113s, Vulcans, Chaparrals, mortars and light vehicles, and I have to plow through endless enemy APCs which all have range 6 atgms and moves fast. The ai actively avoids moving into range of my atgms so the missile on my Sheridans are useless other than keeping the enemy horde at bay. When I advance my forces I have to u...

Demotion? Former civilian who just tagged along for more combat? Edit: After Chapter 3 Mission 10 he says "I reenlisted because I couldn't handle civilians."

However, the T-80 is a lot closer in terms of protection to the original M1 Abrams, than the late M60s. Based on what was declassified from both sides of the Iron Curtain, the original T-80 actually matches or surpasses the M1 Abrams.

The T-72 Ural was used in the Iran-Iraq War and it was widely shown (according to both sides) to be better protected...

The '80s! Hex-based! Turn-based! Wargame! Zachtronics! 50% off for Christmas! That seems like something that I could only dream of. So I played the tutorial, I understand the gameplay. I was thinking that it was a bit slow-paced for my taste, but ok. 2nd "real mission" (chapter 1, mission 3) and I'm getting *CLOBBERED*. Not just "taking more losses than I would like", but seriously run underfoot. My anti-armor teams, which I set up in advance as tactically as possible, never really get a shot (the enemy...

--Contains spoilers!-- For me - Chapter 3, Mission 10. That took many, many attempts. Especially with the enemy having 35 deployment points and you having only 25. The dug in enemy M60 Tanks that can easily soak up multiple ATGMs (and if they pop smoke - forget it) will make short work of any attack.... The waves of infantry and armour constantly pushing your first point which must be covered by a friendly unit at all times.... The enemy artillery unit that constantly batters your AT infantr...
