1) build with all your engineers and rush to anti-tank weapons
2) build armies of antitank weapons and hmg nests to defend your base (also add some mines and barbed wire and antitankthingies)
3) proceed with your 2nd thing

4) don't do it and play with me and rat now

Yeah, the first time I played it it took me some time to win, but finally managed to defeat the enemy.
I think it's the mission where I set more mines than in any other.

In one of the first missions you have to put mines on the road, and if you do so before you end the first part of the mission you are safe for the second part.

In this one is the same, in the first part you start setting some mines around until you take the hill, so you go around the hill conquering everything and setting mines, then on the second part you are almost ready. Sent troops to set mines on the ways in, make anti-tank weapons and set them around.

In the top of the hill you must have 2 or 3 on the top, 2 on the left, 2 on the right, mines on bottom. In the HQ you need nested hmg, 2 to the left, one on right and 1 bottom protecting the point, mines and at least 3 anti-tank.

Yeah, a hell to make all that and you have to protect everything. Move your troops constantly, and go around the map setting hmg, snipers, mortars, etc.-

Are these the same missions as the ones from the original version? If so I think I know the one you are talking about. My strategy amounted to a shit ton of mines and shit ton of anti tank units.

Yeah, same missions.
And I just get annihilated on the 4th mission, twice. The 3rd time almost lost but I managed to survive with 1 troop (sniper on the church) when the timer reach 0, and the reinforcement arrived.

Unfortunately you can't use the points like with the original game. Or at least I don't know how to use them.

cou can use commander abilities with them

if your commander points are high enough (by gaining xp during the round) you can use certain abilities which you've purchased with your commander points which are gained by gaining commander levels

eg i can call a squad of engineer riflemen if my commander points are at least 3 (270 manpower iirc), and a squad of rangers at 4 points (350 MP iirc)

Screw it, I like the way I used it before. Now you have tons of different thing to add before you can use the shitty points on single player. It sucks.

eh

in the single player, you press the green button and you can buy upgrades with the points (doesn't work in the first 2-3 missions though)

in multiplayer they charge up and some skills need you to be lvl x

Play it.
First do the training, then Campaign missions, and then go and play online, or you'll get wiped out.
By the way, what is your name there? I use always PaiSand.
