It's reasonably hard, but not impossible, to complete the game on Hardcore "normally" by using all your units etcetera because the enemy always knows which unit and what distance to stay and keep from you to ensure you come off worse. By "normally" I mean as in using different units, ground units, air units etcetera - battles are especially hard because you have to annihilate all enemy forces.
Easiest way to get this on Hardcore below...
Always play Conquest missions when given the option to do and always try and do the conquest missions where your front line will advance if you win. Don't bother playing the conquest ones where you are defending because there is no point because as this is on Hardcore and the enemy commanders will ALWAYS be two or three ranks above you, when you beat them your other forces will get a morale boost and will very rarely be defeated defending.
Upgrade riflemen from the start to be able to have deep strike ability and, if European, upgrade them so they can capture uplinks faster. Now just deep strike to all the uplinks and capture them all quickly, you will lose units and sometimes lose uplinks but it's easy to get them back. I completed the American and European campaigns on Hardcore this way, and doing the Russian campaign this way as well (slightly harder with them because they're so stupidly slow) and have 25 territories so far.
So basically, make sure your riflemen have deep strike ability and always deploy with Command Vehicle and the rest riflemen units. Don't ever both moving the CV, just move the riflemen to the nearest uplinks and then use the command points you get to deep strike riflemen behind enemy lines to capture more and start the victory timer. Enemy never uses their WMD because they wait for you have to more than two units in one position and you should only have one riflemen units at each uplinks at max, usually I just capture the uplink and move them off to a new uplink, I finish matches on Hardcore within 12 minutes usually, my max time has been 17 minutes. |
