Thanks Omat - the video tutorials are especially useful. There was a post the other day that gave a link (I think to a newbie AAR) do you or anyone else know where that is please? I forget who posted it or where they did....

I remember only Sardaukar's Newbie Grand Campaign Tutorial.

tm.asp?m=2940156

But this aar is for members which want to start the Grand Campaign the first time (as allied player). So not the basics.

If there was an other aar I missed it...Maybe alfred knows it ;)

Hope it helps....

That's it - yes that does help, thanks Omat [:)]

Welcome,

After Coral Sea, try Guadacanal scenario.

PS: FYI: balanced AI play is with the difficulty setting at HARD, not normal. Long story as to why, but that information comes from the AI dev ....

Welcome Whiskeytown. I think with the help of CB, Pax and a few others, we could draw this young Skywalker to the dark side.....

I will post a AAR against the Coral Sea AI later this week I think - once i feel I have it down I'd like to get y'all's opinions on how I'm doing things

Welcome! It is a little... overwhelming at first, but if you enjoyed Squad Leader and Third Reich, you have what it takes to tackle this monster. Just be patient!
