There is not a dedicated tutorial mission, but you can turn on tutorial hints that pop up in game to explain things. The best way to learn would be to check out the videos here: tt.asp?forumid=1711 and here: tt.asp?forumid=1712 and also there are a few in the top section of the forum (Movement and LOS).
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Are you planning on making tutorial missions?
It would make the game very accessible to people like me without an encyclopaedic knowledge of army structure!

The current engine doesn't allow making proper tutorial missions, because it doesn't support mission scripting. This can change in the future. We have discussed about making more tutorial videos, but at the moment it seems that our team will be very busy until the Steam version and the next DLC are out, so the videos probably have to wait for some time.

OK, thanks. I wouldn't want to just jump in and click things and then never play the game properly, I've done that too many times with wargames.. I have watched a few gameplay videos but the broadcasters all seem to know what they are doing.

If you have any experience playing any Close Combat games i think you'd been fine. this game your ordering companies and platoons instead of individual units[you can order individual units, but not recommended]. The air and arty might take a little learning but its not to complicated. its still just right click pick you order, set your formation and SOP and plot your movement/waypoints and off you go. With the mission generator you can make really small battles with just a few units to start with so you can learn and experiment.

It's a great game, I can feel that, even if I don't know how to attack or position my troops effectively...
A tutorial explaining the first mission (river crossing) with a voice over explaining why he's doing what he's doing would be amazingly helpful for 'civvies' like me..

Some files on the Matrix site seem to be currently unavailable, probably because of their new website.
