Remember , teamwork wins games!!!
One change we find helpful is as follows:
When you launch game select "options" "customize"
On MINIMAP TRANSPARENCY: select 100%
SAVE
Go into game you should see small minimap below.

Press M you should see expanded map (no map border) on screen below. Once you get used to it the map images will not detract from play it will let you see what is around you or at least as important what is not where it should be, missing tanks and planes. Below notice american flags everywhere but south, white flag beach ( meaning it is bing captured at beach, tank sees support at beach (red arrow - soldier) and goes on to airfield.
Below notice Axis flags everywhere but north, airfield
has 2 tanks and plane and a soldier from beach heading to airfield. What
does tank near south do , defend south and beach areas.
Below notice Axis flags south,beach and airfield, 2 allies bases at north side of island, two axis tanks heading to north base, another axis plane flying cover, what should you in plane do? Bail north village, capture base and you have a good chance allies will be trapped between you and tanks coming north.
Below notice no Axis flags anywhere, two axis airplanes, one axis soldier in water near south (red arrow). This is start of game, one unmanned tank (grey) on north point , two at north village, where are other axis players, on the carrier waiting for plane. If at least two players spawn on destroyer, one could go to the north the other to the south , or both attack from same landing craft since it appears that no allies are using tanks on north side. There are two empty tanks waiting. Again remember teamwork wins rounds.
Have fun and help your teammates.
