What a great game!! Half the fun is learning how to play and all the rules. Use to have the Board version but could never find anyone to play against.
I have only had it a few days but my only advice is to save regularly. Your going to do all your movement and forget something!!
Also as you don't know what is going to happen at various stages you can always go back and re do a move or combat etc. This is the fastest way of learning using trial and error. If you do something and was not aware of the implications just re load the save and try again.
Just remember if loading one of the scenarios that has deployment already done when you save make sure you change the file name as it will over write this file and you wont be able retrieve the original deployment without re installing. Don't ignore the warning message!
I would like to see a step by step guide to play from one of the actual scenarios. Something that tells you to move this here and that there, combat etc. Given you can check the setting to amend die rolls it would not be too hard to do for an experienced person to do.
Already told 2 of my mates about the game so that will be 3 purchases for Matrix!

One of the Updates added a new folder for the Fast Start saved games. That folder has all 4 Fast Start games, so if you overwrite the originals, you do not have to reinstall the game. Just copy the GAM file from the Fast Start folder to the specific sCenario folder.
