Strategy
In the northern sector, fall back to the railway line in order to allow the armored train to help fire at enemy aircraft. Entrench and defend in the other sectors. Move newly built reinforcements, especially armor and light artillery, to the northern sector by train and truck. After repelling the initial offensive in the north, advance and capture the northeastern factory and, finally, the enemy HQ.

Try to gain air supremacy early in the game by eliminating the enemy's aircraft. The computer will not replace them, instead spending its factory production on infantry, cavalry and light artillery. Initially the enemy has a large number of elite infantry which can cause trouble for your aircraft, so move your aircraft to try to avoid these units. Once you have destroyed all of the enemy's aircraft, start eliminating the enemy medium artillery in the north with your aircraft. You may wish to consider hit-and-run tactics with your aircraft to prevent the enemy getting a chance to surround your aircraft, limiting your aircraft's movement, and bringing in elite infantry to bring it down. In the late stages of the game consider building additional aircraft to speed up the destruction of the enemy long-range weapons.
