HI Jason,

Dang, you rocked on this one! I can see I have a lot to learn - or maybe remember - about the system. The way you changed view modes was very interesting.

Thanks again!

Thanks! Apparently the force was with me. I wish my PBEM games would fair so brightly! *laughs*

Very nice! Even though I won it several times i could learn a few tricks and methods. Of course I am new at Campaign Series (but not at wargaming in general).

Thanks so much!  This is EXACTLY the type of thing that helps new players like me.  Really pointed out some of the problems I have....  One thing I think newbies like me do is rush the turms - you did a great job of showing how to be patient.

Glad it helps.

I will do more as I have time.

Hope you are enjoying the Campaign Series!

Well, in the heat of the moment, I made a glaring error.

My spiel on the Company Command platoon is incorrect. There are no supply benefits at the company level, merely a morale penalty of those units outside of the 'radio' platoons command range.

The spiel is relevent for Headquater units though, battalion and higher.

My humble apologies. I should have written a script!

Having never played the Campaign series before, the tutorial did a nice job of showing me the basic gameplay. Coupled with the excellent AARs I've been reading, this title has become a must own title...once I get my credit card paid down a bit. [:D]

Oh, and you sort of sounded like an airline pilot. I half expected to hear you ask me to lock my tray table and return my seat to the upright position. [:D]

Fantastic news.. I will do a few more to "teach" some more of the basics in the Campaign Series. I have played so long I have forgotten the reason why I do most of things I do, it is just second nature.
