This game is based on two criteria when it comes to gaining certs;

coordination and Tactics.

On the surface it seems like it's a zerg game, but I have watched coordinated outfits take on a zerg twice their size and win. Under the surface this is all about deployment and not stretching out your forces to have them chopped up piecemeal. There will always be a zerg element to the game, and no outfit worth a damn would deploy without enough boots on the ground, but once you achieve a good solid core of people, say 20-30 you can make a difference on the map, obviously more is always better, but the caveat is that just makes you farm-able for exp/certs so the trick is using what you got to maximum effect, and retaining what you have both in manpower and resources.

I could zerg rush all day long and not have the same success I might have moving with smaller more coordinated units. I could Max crash a small outpost, and still lose it to lighter more nimble infantry. I could roll armor 20 deep and still get torn apart because there was no air superiority.
