Matrix Games Forums

Glazier, in fairness I am also reading the manuals now, and so far I think volume 1 has mentioned twice about intercepts at half range. But this stuff is very dense.

The main problem with the manual I've notice so dar is that early in volumes it gives various gameplay tips before explaining how the game works. I think it might be better to start with RAC, but not sure yet. Kudos to matrix for the excellent manual, but I think that any way you cut it there will be a very steep learning curve.

Thank you 76! That gives me more confidence in the books, along with Steve's mention of the RAC references in sequence of play sections. Now, back to reading the War and Peace of game manuals!

in one sense, the first two scenarios are 'shortcuts' to learning the full game. you can play Barbarossa by just learning the supply, and land/air combat rules. admittedly, a lot to start out. but you can completely skip the naval section and never touch a naval unit in that scenario; then in production only build Infantry.

that is still quite a bit to digest, but leaves some major rules systems to be absorbed later.
