How to begin?

[Soft Heap]

Gentlemen, I'm very excited: downloading the game right now![8D]
I wonder, being a lurker on the WPO for some time now and having read the quickstart tutorials: is this the best way to get into the game because I also understood that some beginners were at a loss the moment the tutorial's ending. Any suggestions at how best to tackle those beginners problems?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome aboard. Definitely have a go at the tutorials; any further questions you can ask here. There'll always be someone who's willing and able to answer.

Thanks for the quick reply, Helpless.
Your link was the tutorial I mentioned in my post. So I guess I've goto follow the tutorial and "Ask, ask, and ask again... Tanker and we humble beta minions will answer your questions"?

Thanks, Terminus and yes: I will.

My advise would be to start playing some small scenario with AI to get the feeling and then switch to big one with PBEM. This way you won't get bad vs-AI-playing habbits. And tutorials are very usefull expecially squadron composition.
