The UK release of ES must have been much easier than the US version.
I'm no hotshot games player (hell, I can't even complete doom2).  But
I managed to complete ES in under a week.  The ending is shit.  All that
happens after the final mission (not the hardest) is that you are told
that you have changed the flow of the war and that your side wins!

Its been 9 months since I finished it, but general tips are,

1. Don't have your radar on continuosly.
2. Use chain guns instead of lasers.
3. Don't charger heavier mechs then youself.
4. Aim at their weapons, then their legs.  Don't worry about
   salvage to much.
5. Your wingmen are thick as pigshit.  You end up helping
   them half the time.  Don't send then into combat before you
   scout the area.  Don't send 'fire at will' until last minute.
6. Save after every mission.
7. Pratice, you'll need more than one shot at most missions.
