There you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. You won't win in Mech Commander without careful consideration of tactics. Mech Commander rewards thoughtful gameplay and often severely punishes the impetuous commander.

You should probably plan on spending about half an hour planning time berfore launching into battle.

Read the mission briefing.

Read it carefully. You usually have two or three primary objectives in each mission. Don't forget that the objectives are available in summary form on the Multi Function Display (MFD) once you have landed.
