OK! I haven't won the first demo mission playing for Axis but doing better.. heres some tips

-use the "1" view to see terain. Hills, etc around your units

-charge all your tanks up the road and place them behind the ridge where the roads meet, and wait for the enemy tanks to come to you.

-position panzershreiks in the top floor of the church and in various ambush spots (behind buildings,etc.)

-put HQ units behind the church, and reduce the number of units inside the church as after it takes enough shelling it will collapse, it's vitally important to ambush most/all enemy tanks before this happens.

-deploy a second unit to take the wooded hill and setup ambushes in the clearings. When units stumble into view have them caught in the focus of several unit's fire

-displace displace displace. The bridge scene in Saving Private Ryan is an awesome example of how well falling back and ambushing can work.

Woohoo ! Major victory for Axis.

I held back a BUNCH of my troops on the ridge and got the ai to split his tanks into two groups.

The left group i took out with my three tanks and a panzershreik sitting in the top floor of the church.

The right group I had my artillery spotter sitting on top of the wooded hill and the first barrage took out both tanks! After that I used the artillery on the house where all the infantry gathered until it was flattened and charged with the reserves.

May have to buy this game..

Nice one!

The problem I have, is that when I have people in the buildings, they can't shoot out, their blocked Do they haveto be by a window or something?

This game is a must have.... very addictive.

You have to move them to the edge of a building near a wall then they can shoot out that side of the building. They are vulnerable to artillery there so I put HQ guys towards the back of the building.
