The Axis makes them using bunkers, which they start skirmishes off with. It's not hard to make them and it's really not hard to destroy them. A single rifleman squad can blow it up.
I suck tremendously

While true there's still a counter to that. Sniper in to the base and just drop anti-tank and airborne there. Or if a teammate has infantry class, he just spy planes it and you drop everything there. Easily bypasses a lot of stuff and if place correctly, out of the defensive permiter of the defensive setup. Not saying it's easy, but it makes the person think twice about attacking you thus giving you a chance to build your tanks up to do another offensive with mine cleaners.
Even just the defense that is setup from the beginning can stop those things (unless it's human controlled, then it might bypass them)
Well they didn't. The machine gun nest was the one that spawned there to start with. It rolled right past. Completely within it's field of fire, which covered the entire eastern entrance to my base. I mean I saw it roll right past the thing.
That's why I prefer playing maps with bridges, that way I can completely control what goes into and out of my territory. In that instance the only chance an attacking army would have would be in using artillery exhaustively, but doing such would take either a long time to do properly or putting said artillery at great risk of bring captured.
I also toss in minor checkpoints behind my lines with at least a bunker. This keeps the chances of having a spy plane scout the area and drop in airborne much less effective.
Edit: In general I'd rather just spend all my time building an awesome defense thats nearly impossible to beat and wait till they give up

That reminds me, it is completely awesome how you can capture enemy weaponry and such. Great feature.
Can you turn off the point thing? Or rather, in the full retail version is there a battle mode where you can just duke it out for hours with no risk of points winding down? When I have time limits I really suck. I'd rather play it like a chess match.

You can do a regular skirmish and just fight until they're all dead. That's how I perfected my defensive strategy, especially on the map with the bridges separating the two sides.
You think you hate Flak 88s? Wait till you see what happens when a column of tanks faces off with 10 of them in near point blank combat. Lets just say the Allies would need a nearby Ironworks to break through the defensive lines you can set up on bridgehead maps if they go the armor route.
Yes, there's two options in multiplayer (and skirmish as well). Point system and total annihilation.
Well I could hold anyone if I just had a map with only two bridges. Setup 15 Anti-Tank Guns at each and 4 Machine gun Nests.
