<t> Hi Igor<br/>
<br/>
I completely agree with the point you make, which seems to be overlooked by experienced players of this game. With a board game you do what you want, how you want. Even if you play the game wrong, you are still able to continue. With a computer game if you do not follow the ...

Thank you for your constructive reply. I am sure that it would be a great help to many novice players to have such a useful guide.<br/>
<br/>
You quoted from two of my replies. The first was for yourself. The second was in response to a suggestion that I should ask another ...

Thank you for your suggestions. I would like to play another person, but I do not feel that I can do so until I can grasp the mechanics of the game. I am not sure how the tutorial games work, but would another player really be prepared to teach me the game from basics?<br ...

You replied "There is a tutorial thread in the forums. Have you seen this yet or do you need a little more or something else?". <br/>
<br/>
I have read all of the tutorials, I have even reseached Google for all references to he board game. I have had the game for about 6 ...

<t> Hi Marshall<br/>
<br/>
thank you for your prompt reply. However you seem to be mssing the point of my post. <br/>
<br/>
To be honest I do not know what I need to know! I know that I am unable to play the game. I know that I have mastered previous games within a very short time, and that I ...

<t> Hi Eric<br/>
<br/>
I am sorry if I have not made myself clear. I find the whole mechanics of the game difficult to grasp. For example I know if I am France that I want to defend the coast and invade Bavaria. But I simply do not know how to do that. I realise that the game is intended to be ...

<t> First I would like to thank Matrix for producing the tutorial, though I do think it should have been included with the game when bought. In its way the Tutorial is fine, but I am still finding it very difficult to play this game. There have been a lot of messages in a similar mode, so obviously ...

Hi Erik
&nbsp;
Just sent you a copy of the original mail.&nbsp;&nbsp; What does the error code mean, and should I do anything about it?
&nbsp;
I dont have a screen shot, and indeed would not know how to get one!

<t> A week ago I got an error message when I closed the game, and was advised to contact Matrix Support. I sent a mail with the following message the same night, but no reply. Can anyone suggest what I should do?<br/>
<br/>
When I closed down Empire in Arms I got an error code 1073741510 and was ...

Thanks Grognot, found it. It looks like it will be just what I want. Will post again when I have had a chance to read and play.

Hi Erik

I logged in to Members but could find no mention of a tutorial. I then clicked "official patches and updates" but could only find Empire in Arms update v1.01. Is this the tutorial, or is it somewhere else?

<t> Dear Erik<br/>
<br/>
On 28 January 2008 you promised a tutorial, and promised that it would be available within a few weeks. It is now 21 April and like so many others who bought this game I am still waiting for this essential guide so that I can start playing the game.<br/>
<br/>
I bought ...

<t> Thanks for the advice Grognot, however I really need a simple step bystep guide to getting started. I have read the manual on-line, and it is almost like reading a foreign language! <br/>
<br/>
In the past I have played computer games such as Waterloo Napoleons Last Battle and Austerlitz ...

I have just downloaded the game and am not sure where to start. I have never played the board game and am a little daunted by the large manual. Is there a tutorial for this game, or any advice on getting you started?
