I wanted a game to replace CMBB and recently bought AP Operation Star, which turned out to be a complete mess. I'm therefore wondering if this game is a better choice? It appears to have a proper manual so I assume it is a least playable and more accessable than APOS? Any comment pls?

Just wondering is this game actually playable in terms of controls and ease of use or is it similar to operation star (ie unplayable)?

<t> I have to agree the game is pretty limited and not just in turn length. I don't think there's really that much strategy and luck plays a huge factor esp in battles. Pursuits are just a toss of the coin no matter that you have x2 x3 x4 the odds in cavalry. I'm still not clear on how you can move ...

<t> ok I'm not going to go on about why a game of this complexity was released without a manual, but instead ask where can I find the basic instructions on how to play/control the game? The so-called "Tactics manual" is a joke, and learning 134 keyboard commands is not my cup of tea.<br/>

<t> I agree with the original poster. I just bought the game and after hours of trying can only agree the interface is appalling. The lack of manual just makes it so much worse. I can't believe the publisher released this without a decent manual - and why does it have 134 keyboard commands for gods ...
