| Mistake | Fix | |---------|-----| | No recon – tanks drive into ATGM ambush | Buy recon first, keep them alive | | Planes without SEAD – get shot down by I-Hawk | Send SEAD (Wild Weasel, Su-24) first | | Artillery in same spot – counter-batteried | Move SPGs after every 2 salvos | | Infantry in open – killed by tanks | Keep infantry in buildings/forests only | | All tanks in a blob – one artillery stuns all | Spread tanks 200m apart | Wargame Airland Battle
