I’m on the last hurdle of campaign mode, but it looks like it’s going to be a tough fight. Essentially, I’m surviving wave after wave of enemy attacks while trying to conquer the enemy base. His rate of production is quote extreme, due to the high number of barracks he has and, unlike in endless

Gaaaah! They weren’t joking when they said it was hard, were they? All five of us have had a go and Tristan, our in-house SMB expert has managed to get the furthest by almost getting out of world 1-2. Umm. This is going to require some practice.
