Sooner or later you’ll fight to conquer a city.

Both in attack and defence, the infantry is your main strength.

Basic information about cities may be found in the chapter about terrain.

First of all, eliminate the enemy around the city so you have a rather safe way.

Recon won’t be useful because it can’t detect infantry in the city.

You have to send something cheap to lure enemy out.

PC

Use the smoke screen aiming at the edge sectors to which you want ride in.

Smoke should be between your transporters and enemy infantry.

Using your artillery is a must to decrease defenders' morale.

PC

Support infantry with precise mortar fire at nearby sectors.

What is left of your transporters, should be taken out of the range of grenade launchers.

Don’t use expensive vehicles for that, they are destroyed as easily as the cheap ones.

PC

you might also venture to attack massively and venture to take more than one sector at once.

Fire from everything with destroying missiles, spread fire, decrease morale.

Have a numerous advantage and prepare for losses.

PC

Nearby forest may be also used in attack at city, remember also about the smoke cover.

You may think that city is close to you.

In reality, it may be few hundreds meters within which your army will be massacred.

PC

you could also attempt to take over city quickly via air forces.

To do so, use infantry (or commandos) in helicopters.

Don’t forget about recon helicopter and an escort to defend it against other helicopters.

PC

This option is viable if you know that there is no anti-air defence nearby the city.

Defence is much easier.

City must have several anti-air sections with infantry on the borders.

PC

Place also tanks nearby to take down enemy transporters.

Use helicopters and bombers for quick eliminations.

Secure nearby forest so the infantry won’t get unspotted to the city.

PC

If enemy gets inside, move troops to make the biggest possible number of them fire at enemy simultaneously.

Care about ammo supplies, because those fights are very intense.

If enemy prepare artillery attack, it’s possible for you to retreat to the other sector.

That’s why you shouldn’t max crew in sectors.
