The gameplay of the skirmish is a little like Down of War which I play a bit. I was able to do quite well in the skirmish for both sides. The main thing is to learn the shortcut keys for grenades and any other unit functions. Also it helps if you know the shortcuts when building defensives as well. Using the shift + right mouse butten when laying sandbags, wire or mines you can set up corners around things and not just strait lines. The AI at first can seem quite crafty but if you bottle them up by guarding the choke points on the rivers then it will make futile attacks vs. your mg nests & anti-tank guns. Make sure you sand bag ‘em up as I found that when a tank shot at my AT guns with sandbags in fount of them most of the shots hit the bags until the bags were destroyed before hitting the AT gun, very useful indeed. Also wondered about that little tank thing the Germans had…seemed to be a small ‘remote controlled’ tracked thing that exploded when it got near the enemy. First time I seen it the thing ran strait though my base but did nothing. Next time it came back a MG unit opened up on it and it exploded next to them, killing them, very odd. I know the Germans developed radio controlled anti-ship missiles but I don’t recall anything about this. You never know though.
