Locate Bases and Men Before Facing Them

Go to the Build menu. Select any building. Move it around until red squares appear. You can place the building there because there are enemy units in that space.

Protect Your Radio Operators

You don't have to bring a radio operator with your men to use him. Keep him at your base where he's safe, and call in airstrikes when your men are attacking a target.

Alternate Death Commentary

The voice in the background says different words when certain soldiers die. The default saying is, "Unit lost," but whenever someone such as Riff, Sarge, and other named soldiers die, the voice says, "Man down!"
