Replying to Ground Control

Infantry are the best units in the game. Little ever hits them and incrediable good at scouting. So use the infantry to find the turrets then shell the turrets with artilery. The later missions aren't really as hard as they are about inching your way to end of the mission. You have to do it very slowly, keeping a mixed force of heavy tanks and machine gun tanks to fend off any surprise attacks. Aerodynes are okay to have around but they are no help against most bases since most bases generally have AA guns. later on you do get bombers that drop nukes but they are still just as fragile. Using the special ablities of units also helps you should you screw up and end up in a full fledge firefight. For example the main battle tank can drop a repair pole into the ground that will repair any nearby units.

P.S I Know i just replied to my own post... but it just to help others.

Trust me guys this game will get very very fustrating. The enemy will get turrets that blow up your units in 3 hits or so. And your Heavy tanks can't do nothing to infantry. There are cheats if the games too hard but if I posted them you would probably cheat and miss my point about the game having accuracy problems agansit infantry and hwo easy vehicles get torched even en masse.

If you guys got good commanders skills tell me off. Just don't sink my boat (aka tell me do this, do that. tricks. Just don't demean me)

I finished GC1 and GC2 but GC1 is harder because your outnumbered and enemy turrets will pratically murder you not to mention infantry can just take potsots at your tanks (the ones that shoot explosives not machine gun bullets because you won't be using those later on, they seem to blow up even faster).

Ahh! , that noob is a necro bumper!!!

I wasn't around when this was posted, so I'm here to say...this game goes way past my expectations. I first played the first tutorial and then forgot about the game, having to uninstall it for space. But now I come back to it...holy crap, that looks like a good one!

I love the lack of resources. That just makes the game as easy to grasp for everyone, and the game looks and controls so great, I'm a huge fan now. I don't have to go running to StarCraft for my RTS cravings any more.

Worth bumping as well to ask if the expansion pack will ever be made for free again (it was for a few months) and if the rumors about the sequel being free as well founded at all.

Yeah, it's pretty good, especially for freeware.

Wow. So this is freeware? Cool!

Right, I have a week off in this next coming week, so I might (and I mean 'might') get this guide started.

Anyone up for helping?

(by the way, I've completed the game for both sides, so I have mission experience from all of the missions)

*edits*

Sorry for the double post, but I thought that bumping it might help to get some attention.

Aye, you should, it's great. I might put that guide together at some point too. Possibly.

this game sounds good im going 2 download right now

There is a review and some pictures of the new Ground Control 2 if you are interested...
