Is Badlands impossible?

[EasyAce 10]

I've been trying to take the first town for hours. It seems impossible. I came realy close the last time, that was when only Razor team was left. We entered the town and suddenly 4 new cars showed up! You can guess the outcome.

I take it from the beginning. I start with 23 guys. 3 of them takes one car. I try to tell them where to go but they just head straight for the town. The one car always gets blown up pretty fast. I've tried to send it in first, I tried to send it in at the same time and even later in the battle. It always get blown up. The two infantry squads moves like a bunch of my grandpa's across the field. Even when nobody shoots at them, they go prone every 1 meter. So basicly, we all move as fast as wheelchairs across a muddy plain, but without wheels. We can't hit anything. We like to be targets. And the enemy have 5-16 cars to attack with versus me who got one. (I cant get the people to mount the other cars).

My question is simple. How is it possible to take the first town?

I had the same probs, In the end i lead the attack up the main road with Razor following. I kept going to ware the big wall starts on the right, then told my team to go prone. All them jeep's and stuff seemed to come down the main street where i picked the gunners off with my Dragonof, one jeep tryed to flank round my right coming from the hill, luckly i had 3 Rpg7 on my back took him down then i just push on hard into town.

Hope this helps u in some way.

I attacked with the main group of fighters first lost unit number 2 but kept 3 and 4 all you have to do is get your forces to that square on the map and keep them there for a certaint amount of time kind of like king of the hill. Then you will take over the town and bam first town was down within 5 minutes of the attack all forces go friendly and BAM! move onto the next nearest town which at this moment is giving me problems!

I only used F2 and F3 squads and Razor to take the first town (Novy Sobor?). At the start of the mission i set 2 waypoints for each squad. The first waypoint was a little north of their position. The reason for this first waypoint was so that i could right-click on it and set a five minute time-out so i could move the second waypoint and set up some options for it (again by right-clicking the waypoint).

The second waypoint for these two squads was at the edge of the treeline facing towards the town. The options I set on these second waypoints was to 'Guard' and set stance as 'Danger' (which makes them go prone/stay low).

After I'd finished setting the options for this second waypoint I sent the two squads to it. Then I went to the treeline myself and fired off a few shots at the town to get the Cherdaki's attention. Then I started my flanking manouvre with Razor. I headed back to the position I was at at the start of the mission then went north-west, across the road and then proceeded south-west through the trees coming out at the town.

While I was progessing towards the town with Razor i was setting new waypoints for the F2 and F3 squads, getting them closer to the town. I managed to take the town with all my units still alive.

Hope this helps.
