Build on the marked pads, start each wave when ready, and upgrade key positions before heavy armor
arrives. Armored units resist light fire, and the second half of each mission demands layered flak
and anti-tank coverage.

How to Win Early Missions
Allied Frontline Defense rewards planning before the first wave. Do not fill every pad immediately. Build a small core, watch what type of enemy appears, then spend supplies where the next wave will hurt most.
Opening build
Start with an MG Nest near an early bend, then add Anti-Tank before armor appears. A cheap tower in the wrong place is worse than waiting one wave.
Upgrade priority
Upgrade towers that fire for the longest time along the route. Central pads and long lanes usually earn back their cost faster.
Air defense timing
Do not forget Flak Radar. Aircraft punish players who only build ground damage, especially in the second half of a mission.

Tower Roles and Mission Choices
Best towers for beginners
MG Nest for early infantry control.
Anti-Tank for armored vehicles.
Mortar Pit when grouped enemies survive too long.
Harder mission pressure
Armor Push gives fewer lives and punishes late anti-armor upgrades. Air Raid requires earlier flak coverage and cleaner supply spending.
Map reading
River is balanced, Forest has faster bends, Coast pressures armor, and Snow rewards long-range tower placement.
