May I say that this is probably the best game i've played in ... years.
I've been playing only the Overlord map on skirmish coop online and I haven't beaten it once.
The coop element is really what makes it work (for this map anyway). It would be impossible to micromanage all those units on your own and win the map, so you NEED 2-3 other players to be comfortable, and that calls for strategy.
I love to use infantry, mortars and AT guns in this map. I'm not a big tank person. I find them too expensive and too large a target for enemy.
My style is very slow and low risk. I commit few infantry units to attack and whenever possible, I setup defenses. However, I like to keep only the minimum required units within those defenses, so when the enemy makes a surprise rush of some kind, I just pull back, concede ground and counter-attack.
