Commander playbook

Commanders marry global cooldowns to binocular-confirmed threats. US commanders lean on rotary logistics, armour escorts, naval fire when patrol boats contest crossings. NVA/VC commanders ride tunnel mobility, mortars, and ambush lanes that punish overextended helicopter insertions. Every ability should answer a squad ping, not vanity strike markers.

Chain of command clarity keeps respawn waves efficient: commanders brief sector goals, Squad Leaders convert them into garry placement, Officers steady map chatter, infantry keeps comms short. Read the Squad Leader dossier if you rely on random leaders to translate your orders.

Track manpower bleed and refuse to double-spend artillery when mortars already soften a push. Pair Spotter eyes with mortar batteries and teach Anti-Tanks to rotate between river crossings and ridge lines helicopters favour. One lost sector should not consume every cooldown in the same minute.
