Quick notes

Neotanks add a faster heavy option. A Neotank costs more than a medium tank but offers powerful armor combat and better mobility.
Unlock campaign production through labs. Hidden lab maps open optional lab missions.
Do not spend the whole army on one unit. An expensive tank can lose ground if infantry stop capturing and artillery goes unsupported.
Respect ammunition and fuel. Heavy armor needs resupply after repeated fights.
