This game is vastly different to other RTS games. The problem isn't that the game is bad. I have friends who think this game is ******* awful because they lost. However, These guys are really into starcraft and company of heroes. The problem they have is that they are unable to adapt or think in new ways which are unlike the games they have currently played.

Winning or losing is NOT where fun comes from. Clearly, the game you are looking for is a game where you press the red button on the screen and it comes up "YOU WIN". This game has far much more effort than any other RTS title. Does it make it more enjoyable? Maybe not. Does it make it a better created game? Certainly. When you consider that every soldier has their own inventory, even to the point where you can equip enemy hats. Vehicles have tons of different types of damage. You can blow holes into buildings and enter through those holes. You can take control of all units directly. There is a lot of detail in this game. This detail means you have to think differently and on the ball.
For example. In one game I blew a hole into a church with 2 AT grenades and poured flames into it with my flamethrower. He got shot though. So I moved another guy to pick up the weapon and continue his job. This is where the fun comes from. However, It seems my friends are too into "what building should I make" or "which unit do I need" to understand this. This isn't a direct insult. But when you insult a game so harshly because your own flaws or your own disinterest in the game. The problem lies with you. I'm fine with people not liking this game. But it is unarguably a great game.

I've completed skirmish on Normal and the best way to do it is to look for the weakest side. Which is the best side to attack? Left or right?
Once you get that side. Start flanking the other 2 zones.
As soon as possible get some sort of Anti Tank Gun or vehicle.
When approaching dangerous zones with infantry keep them prone and keep them spaced. Try sending just one or two guys to check out a place before you enter.
1 mortar team can be a very good opening. Take it off of free fire and use direct control though otherwise it will waste its ammo.
MOST IMPORTANTLY. When you've taken your zones. Fortify them. Keep infantry in defense. Don't keep pushing up and pushing up. Otherwise when your attack fails you lose everything.

Put it on Easy. Difficulties are there for a reason. There is no shame. Alternatively, Put it on Hard or Insane and then post another message telling everyone how bad the game is because you can't complete a difficulty.
I play Insane sometimes with friends and its funny how impossible it feels. However, It's fun because winning means nothing. I know there is a way though! We just have to be more creative.
