It depends which scenario and/or mod you play. For me its latest official patch, scen 1, historical start. For that (the cloest I could find) would be Mike Solli and Cribtops' AAR's. Currently reading both.

I started playing again and thought this thread deserved to be bumped up.

Another dumb question. I downloaded a few of those short scenarios recommended for newbies. However, though I am used to using such new scenarios, and always unzipped them to the SCEN or Scenario folders of whatever games, the SCEN folder in the main Matrix folder looks different. There are no NAMES of scenarios as I am used.

Having had a devil of a time for a week getting WITPAE to display and play correctly I am loathe to download them into that folder, though I can't imagine where else they would go.

Just being cautious...thank you for this answer and all the other replies to my post.

oh p.s. I did NOT download any that said they contained SPECIAL GRAPHICS. Caution for the same reason above. I would like to play the game a little before risking more display problems. Thanks again.

There should be just scn***.cmt files. For example, scn001.cmt is the stock grand campaign scenario 1.

From the squadron screen assign a % of the squadron to LRCAP (Long Range Combat Air Patrol), and the select the troop task force as a target for the squadron.

Glad you guys still finding this useful. Due to lack of time I've never got further than late 1942 in AE despite several starts, maybe one day I'll get back into it but it takes so long to play a campaign in AE that becomes hard to master it if you have other hobbies and limited time. The fact this forum is still so busy is a testament to the great game this is and I hope this helps newbies or part time players get the most out of it.

Do give me a nudge if you have a newbie friendly thread to add, just post here or PM me or if a regular player wants to take over this thread let me know and you can copy the contents to a new thread.
