Cruisers without protection:

Cruisers can fire at water-vehicles by force firing on the target. However, it will not do as much damage as if normal target was attacked.

Destroying enemy ore trucks:

The Allied mine layer may be the best weapon against enemy ore trucks. First, determine where the enemy ore trucks are passing. They usually stick to the sides of trees, shores and ridges. Bring your mine layers to the proper location and lay a lot of mines onto the exact path of the truck. Get out once the mines have been laid. Be careful not to let the mine layers get claimed by enemy forces.

Fire anywhere:

Using Tanya, (like grenadiers) it is possible to fire anywhere on the map. Ask Tanya to force fire somewhere then just as she is about to fire another round, aim for an enemy. It is very tricky but it is easier to do if the game speed is set to slow.

Making cruisers accurate:

Cruisers will miss when firing at something in the distance. Hold [Ctrl] and click to force them to fire on the ground and a little above the target.

Mine Layer defense:

When fighting on a island and enemy transports keep landing, get your Mine Layers and set them just on the beach as far to the water as possible. The transports will be stuck there, and will not be able to open. Note: If the mines blocking them explode, they will release their contents.

Spying:

Although you may think your spy is safe if no dogs are present, tanks are still dangerous. They will not shoot at your spy, but will instead try to crush him.

Throw grenades anywhere:

Use the following trick to allow grenadiers to throw grenades across the entire map. Press [Ctrl] to force them to throw a grenade on the nearby ground. When the grenadiers reach back to throw, click on a target anywhere and the grenades will land at that location. The grenadiers must be selected the entire time. Note: Stop the grenadiers after they begin to walk towards the target.

Unlock everything:

When starting a skirmish game, build everything you can see on the right-side menu. You will be able to build new things. Keep doing this until everything is unlocked. But make sure you build an Ore Refinery first, so you can get money easily.
