Very Nice Job on the Tutorial Videos

Post by Missouri_Rebel »

I have recently made my way through all the video tutorials and must say that I am very impressed with the work done. I found the examples and layout to be very good and quite thorough. When I buy a new game I tend to follow the same routine while I learn, and that is to take it slowly. I usually read the manual through, check most threads on the forums and study examples before diving in, sometimes taking several days to a week to do so. That is why I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of the videos. Credit where it is deserved.

May I ask who did the reading?

Seconded, these videos tutorials are the best thing since sliced bread to allow a player to graps all basic concepts, manipulate the game etc !
It takes less than 1 hour, and it's much more "fun" than reading a manual (even if I like that too).

It's brilliant, kudos on this [:)]
Now I want all wargames ship with this feature ! [:D]

Thirded.  The videos have answered many of my questions when my own, inept stumbling about in the game hasn't quite sufficed.  Great job on those.

I would also like to say "great job" on the videos but I have one small nitpick.

I think Joel's a Christian, so that can come out without thinking...
