<t> Sorry if this doesn't make any sense...<br/>

But I've just lost my first attempt at the Grand Campaign in a Major defeat on day 2, yet I'm not sure why. I captured some bridges and some were blown, I forget which. So I was doing okay I thought, but not great.<br/>

On the last map ...

I typically do one move to get the guys into the building and then a second move to bring them closer to the edge of the building. Doesn't really bug me too much. You're forgetting that someone might want to take a building but try to keep the ...

<t> On the first map of the grand campaing (I think) it took me 5 minutes to get my lead tank over the bridge...5 minutes of trying to stop it from taking rediculous routes and constant "can't go there" reports...arrrgggghhh. The only way I could get it over te bridge was by about setting about 30 ...

I should also add this note from the developers:<br/>
<br/>
"While we've opted to make some more improvements to the AI in the first update more will be forthcoming. The pathfinder and tactical AI are linked together and the pathfinder ...

<t> Oh dear oh dear. After playing for a few hours and really enjoying it, apart from the odd niggle, I've just played my first map containing armour. Either the pathfinding has got worse since the original CC2, or I 'd just forgotten how terrible it was in the original.<br/>
<br/>
Could someone ...

<t> Okay, so my heart won over my head and I downloaded it against my better judgement.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Only played it for a couple of hours and first impressions are that the new maps are nicely rendered and also well laid out to provide a challenge. The feel of the game is the same as the ...

<t> Thanks for the advice, but I'm going to leave it for a while and see what happens. I may even just install the original.<br/>
<br/>
The thing that puzzels me is that each game I think about getting from Matrix gets a not inconsiderable amount of people slating it in one way or another on this ...

I wasreally thinking about getting this as&nbsp;I loved the original CC2, but by the sound of it it's just a reissue of a 10 year old game. I haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Oh man. The original is one of my fave games of all time. Just need to know how this improves on the original as I stopped playing CC about 4 releases ago.

<t> I only have CotA, but I think my point is still relevent...and this isn't attack at anyone, just my opinion.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
For me, the point of this game is not just about getting a win at any cost. It's actually about playing the scenarios over and over just to see how the battle can be ...

<t> It's not just me playing this game then!<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I've work through the tutorials, gave on the first scenario in the list. I forget the name, but it's the long narrow map where you have to delay the German advance without getting cut off. Needless to say, as a noob, I can delay them in ...

Number one for me would be the HTTR game with the BftB engine ; followed by North Afrikan campaign.
&nbsp;

<t> I have the same problem with CotA(haven't got BftB yet). I look at a map and have no idea where to start, especially with missions when you have to delay an attack for a period of time before exitting. Should I order my infantry battalion to defend that town? What should I do with my armour ...

<t> Thanks for the tips. I think I'm getting the hang of it now.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I just need to get to grips with the tactics of large scale battles now, especially defence and delaying. All that seems to happen is I get swamped or flanked by invisible units which magically appear&nbsp; <br/>
I ...

<t> I bought CotA last week and have almost completed the 2nd tutuorial. I'm complete new to war games, the closest I got was Panzer General in the 90s and I'm sure that doesn't count [:D]<br/>
<br/>
I'm just looking for any tips people may have around using the correct unit type to assault/defend ...

<t> I'm comparing PC games, which is what BftB is. New PC games cost around £40 not around £70, therefore BftB is expensive compared to all other games except wargames, apparently.<br/>
<br/>
The simple fact is that the pricing of BtfB is going to scare off anyone who isn't a regular wargamer, has ...

<t> At the end of the the day this is a PC game, so it will be measured again other PC games. In that respect it is way overpriced, especially when you compare it how Steam operates. I mean you don't even get a permanent on-line copy.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Talking from a purely business point of view ...

<t> I haven't had time to ream the the whole post, so sorry if I'm repeating...but this is my view as newbie to wargaming/milsim (or whatever it's called) and veteral of all other types of PC games since day 1. <br/>

Looking for my first wargame I stumbled across the RDoA demo and loved it ...
