Part II: Upgrades and If there worth It:
Well, as in Warfare 1944, there are several types of gameplay, and you must know which type you are if you are going to suceede. A Turtler has probaly the biggest advantage early on, simply because the enemy rarely calls strikes, and its only mortars. They also win ussualy with morale. However, towards the end of the game, more strikes are availible, and the last level doesnt even have trenches. A Newt has a balance of offensive and defensive moves through out the match. There ussualy the first to lose, and take some big risk in THIS style of game play. And finnaly, a Rusher hops in a trench, and only stays there to wait out a barrage, before going on the move. They have the best advantage towards the end of the game, because staying in one spots means big barrages coming down on your head, and the last level doesn't even have trenches.
Rushers also have a great advantage with tanks, 'cause their infantry supports the tank well, but be careful of your infantry out pacing your tank. The infantry get shot up, then the enemies tank and infantry come at your tank with a vengence.
Basically, heres the line up:
Turtler: Defensive, wins with morlae wins.
Newt: Balanced combination of offensive and defensive moves.
Rusher: Attack, Attack, Attack! Wins with couquring wins.
----------
Legend: T = Turtler, N = Newt, R = Rusher
Example: T: Yes, N: Maby, R: No

* I've found that the Gas Attack is already potent enough, so the boost from these Upgrades are redundant.
** Of course, during the game play its almost impossible to get enough Upgrade Points to Upgrade everything I said Yes to. This is More of a General Guide, because the three basic types of Gamers can be broken down many times. Defensive Rushers, Offensive Newts, etc, etc.

Part IV: Pre Game Tips
-Upgrades Carry over Between Battles.
- Artillery strikes take a long time to reload, use them wisely.
- Officers provide a damage bonus to any infantry near them.
- Your game is saved automatically each time you start and finish a battle.
- Assault troops will throw grenades at tanks in an attempt to disable them.
- Gas is best used against entrenched infantry or to block movement to an area.
- Use Assault Teams to charge trenches and gain ground on long range infantry.
- Upgrade your units via the upgrades button on the HUD or in the Campaign Map menu.
- Experience is earned by killing enemy units, taking control of trenches and winning battles.
- The destruction of Tanks and the death of Officers will greatly affect the morale of the men.
- Experience is earned by killing enemy units, taking control of trenches and winning battles.
- Killing enemies, deploying Officers and brining Tanks to the battlefield will boost the Morale of your men.
- Machine Gunners and Sharpshooters are weak in the open, try to get them to entrenched positions quickly.
- Keep an eye on the grey Morale Bar at the top of screen, depletion of morale will lead to your men surrendering.
- Be cautious when moving over open ground. Listen in the distance for artillery guns before sending your men over the top.
- Take notice of the âGround Takenâ progress bar at the top of the screen. It shows your units front most position.
- You can lock the trenches via each trenchâs interface. This tells your units to ignore that trench and keep advancing.
- Mortar strikes do a great deal of damage to infantry in the open but are less effective against entrenched troops.
- Tanks are almost invulnerable against small arms fire. Use your fire support to knock them out.
