The HQ unit was safely behind. I will pay closer attention next time to see where the FUP is. I thought they had already gone over to the attack. Their current task read assaulting so.

<r> After playing this scenario as the Allies (for an easy win <E>:)</E>) I was left with one question. At a certain point I order an armoured battalion to attack one of the objectives. However after initially moving out, they just sat there for about an hour, without seeming to actively moving or ...

Thanks, I'll have a look to get a feel for the basic approach. Still trying to figure out the commands of this game.

Thanks, I'll give this one a try.

Thanks. Do you happen to have tips on what attack formation to choose in what situation?

<r> Hi,<br/>

I purchased BFTB a while back, but I have found it quite hard to wrap my head around the concepts off the game (I am more used to tactical scale games).Are there any small (in size and time) scenarios around I mess around with first? The tutorial scenario itself is already to ...

One last question, how do I move just the HQ unit, without having all of its subordinates move along. For example if I want to reposition the individual companies + HQ?

<t> I managed a minor victory in the first attempt of the scenario and a tactical victory in the second (no command delay of course). Will play around a bit more to understand the basic mechanics. The hardest thing right now is reading how a battle is going. In smaller scale games you see the ...

Thanks for the tips! Is there some sort of strategy where all this is explained? Otherwise you'll have to put up with a lot of questions.

<r> Thanks for the tips. There isn't much artillery available for my forces and the enemy has plenty. I'm thinking about closing the distance quickly to deny them targets. Don't know if this is going to work out though. A small question though, how close is close, say for a rifle company? 500m ...

Thanks it did the trick. It's a relatively short scenario, and losing a couple hours of sleep is better than getting hammered by artillery. Now to figure how to weigh up odds of winning a firefight .

<t> Hi!<br/>
<br/>
I have never tried an operational wargame before and I heard lots of good things about this game so I bought it on a whim. <br/>
I started playing with no command delay to get the basic mechanics down (before even bothering with planning).<br/>
I have a newbie question for you ...
