Matrix Games Forums

Just bought this bundle last night, was wondering if there is some kind of tutorial or tutorial mode?

Well first read the instruction manuals, there is an awful lot to learn in terms of modifyers etc. Then have a few games against the AI ....that's pretty poor but gets you used to general mechanics. Eventually aim to play other human opponents via PBEM mode, it's a lot more challenging and you learn a lot. There are a couple of wargame clubs out there and newcomers can have training games.
Hope that helps

Yes thanks. I struggled through the manual a bit. Having another go today. Can you suggest a simple scenario? I dabbled a bit with d'Erlon's assault from the Waterloo game and 5th div at Frasnas from the QB module in prelude.

I recommend D'Erlon's Assault, I use it when training folks at the Napoleonic wargames Club. It has a good use of mixed arms.

I tried it a few times, didn't get very far with the French but got a minor victory with the Allies.

Was that playing the AI though? At least it should give you a feel for how things work.

If you are interested in a PBEM game let me know.

Yes, playing the AI. I did ok as the Allies but when I played as the French, I didn't do very well. Pretty much true of all the scenarios I'm playing so far -) I seem to be better at defending than attacking.
