<t>Do me a favor please and don't bash games set in the future until you have tried one or two. There is a reason that Matrix has picked up Titans of Steel,Warring Suns. That reason is very simple. It may be the best purely tactical game you will ever play. <br/>

There's always Hetzer's school of Hard Knocks.

As far as napoleonics goes SSI had a decent ...

If it's really driving you crazy there is a cheat.
Use F3 to turn off the AI team and put them on move/fire "wait on call". Then scan and rescan until your pilots have green scans and then turn the AI on again and go back to the battle. This will get them some experience points to spend.

He was brought up like a really really good baseball pitcher coming up through the minor leagues until he's ready for the majors. By the end of about a 2 year span he had grown to be as good an opperational commander as any in the german army ...

<t>When you create a rookie pilot it is necessary to bring Scan up as close to 60 as possible. Give your Leader high leadership then scan, your manager Business/scan and your repair guy damage control/scan. No other skills should be a consideration until your primary and scan skills are at least 60 ...

Not that I've heard of and I was a 1.4 beta tester. The designers are still totally buried in Warring Suns so I can't ask them until they get unburied but I think the answer will be no <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

This game is driven by heat and the limitations it puts on your Titans.<br/>
I personally fire 95% of the time on heat black (recycle,heat,black) just because you have 8 weapons firing all of them at once is usually not a good idea. That temp gauge on the lower right hand ...
