Fuselex`s tutorial for new players .
Read the scenario description , depending on how many beers you have had, either start the game or spend the rest
of the night surfing the net reading about the 138th rifle division
Presuming you will try to play one scenario before the temptation of looking up -Captain Wladyslaw Raginis- kicks in
you should ( depending on whether the scenario allows you to place units ) place units where ever you feel like
with no real plan. Personally I like to just click a unit and throw it into any available hex.
All the HMG`s in one hex is fine . An officer with no squads is one of my favourite tricks.
I personally avoid reading the victory conditions , It feels restrictive ,do I really have to take that victory point?

After a few turns of getting your units butchered you may be tempted to lose faith in my advise

This could be seen as wavering from- fuselex`s book of military disasters- but for a new player the best advise
i can give is read the forums and ask questions.

fuselex,

Yeah that beer thing can be a problem. As the evening goes on it can sometimes really affect your ability to read.
Throw a shot or two of bourbon in there and its off to the land of nod.

Dreaming away with all my TotH units in command, then the nightmare hits "Rico's Su-100's come into view from Desperate Measures!"...[X(]

That people appreciate my scenarios, I want, but that I prevent them from sleeping, it is unexpected![:D]
