USA 2500, China 7500 and a meeting

[fossiili]

I have a very good frend. He has played SPMBT earlyer and now has WinSPMBT. I have started playing WinSMBT, the earlyer version is unknown for me.

My frend suggested we play a meeting engagement he China and I USA and the money to buy forcies as above. He told the US forcies have a much better technology than Chinese so he started the game buing troops and armaments with 7500 and left me 2500. It's a large 100*100 map mostly wood. So I bought two infantry companies and some support for them, some scout wechiles, one attack helicopter and offbord artillery and two fo's. After 1-2 turns I see about 10 Chinese helicopters wandering around and many Chinese tanks and mechanised forcies coming.

In Afganistan and in Irak the guerrilas shot down US helicopters. Why can't my infantry do that? Even my attack helicopter wich is good for ground troops, does not do anything to Chinese helicopters.

How should I have spent my 2500
