Introduction
- Fuel of War is a battle to control the world's quickly depleting oil supply. Offensive roles are the key to the single player campaign. The enemy will not push back once you have secured your location. You will find it helpful to hit hard early. When preparing for a difficult strike, call in the air strike early to make inroads with the enemy and allow your squad time to settle in. In a similar vein, it is wise to snipe from a distance whenever possible. The main thing is to learn the rhythm of the game. Get in the flow of moving from cover to cover, and learn to fall behind cover when you need to reload. Remember that all cover is not secure. Some can be taken out by heavy damage. Learn to tell the difference so you are not surprised at an inopportune moment.
