Alright i got the pack with men of war and red tide and all Theatres of war up to caen. Anyway, i tried the polish campaign in Theatre of war and the british campaign in ToW 2 Africa. I failed miserably in the polish campaign, and Succeeded in the British campaign in ToW2 africa, however i suffered heavy losses. Anyway I come from a background of total war, and company of heroes, but this games strategy is quite different. I was looking for some tips on how to assess a situation either attacking or defending. Defending seems straight forward, however like in the polish campaign i got my ass kicked in Tow 1. I did significantly better in the second one, but suffered heavy losses especially while counter attacking. Thanks for any input.
