Missing Tutorial and Transport Question

Post by aogop »

Hi Everyone,

Two quick questions from someone who has played EiA and EiH boardgames before but is having some difficulty with the PC version.

1. Where is the tutorial? I don't see it in the member's section

2. I have started my first setup of the game, ever. As Turkey, I have all factors and minors placed but I cannot seem to place the transport counter. It is the only counter remaining. Do I need to do anything different to place this counter and add the 10 starting factors?

Thank you

1. The tutorial is missing and needs to be reposted by Matrix. In the meantime, be advised that many of the helpful hints and other tips in that tutorial have been added to the updated manual located in the \Data\docs directory. Hopefully the setup discussion and the rest is a little more helpful. Player notes have also been added at the end of the manual, but the step-by-step tutorial helps clarify how to do things.

2. If you have added heavy and light fleet counters and factors, the transport is placed the same way. Sometimes you have to be careful where you place your cursor in an area to place a counter.

If there is ever going to be a new version of the tutorial,I think instead of a walk throught of all phases,it should concentrate on the basics.

1 = How to do an initial setup of all forces.
2 = How to move your forces on the map.
3 = How to add forces to Garrisons & Fleets etc.

In other words an idiots guide on how things are done using the programme interface.[;)]
