We went through this two years ago with regard to the tutorials at https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 9#p4932599. What help do you need? What are you stuck on?

I don't do Discord. Maybe somebody else here can reach out to you. But we need to know what help you need.

Welcome, Elim, I saw your similar post several years ago, and it's great you still have an interest in learning this game.
For learning, it is recommended to read the Murat Tutorial first, then the game manual.

Currently, I don't believe there is an active MEiA player who could be a tutor and teach a novice step by step.
Hence, self-learning plus asking questions here is the way to go.

Roger that. Have you worked through the Murat Tutorial? It shows how to start a game and get through the phases. Have you done that? There is already plenty of "full help" in the several video tutorials and strategy articles. We are ready to answer any questions you have and provide specific help for doing something that may not be clear to you.

This may come as a shock, but once upon a time wargamers had no tutorials and no Discord. We opened a box, cut out cardboard counters, read the rules, and started playing. Uphill, in the snow, by candlelight...

Elim, it is even harder for any of us to help you - short of holding you by the hand and playing your game for you - if you cannot or will not read and understand the game manual or the Murat Tutorial or watch the several video tutorials available. I am being polite.

Seriously, how far along do you get and at what point in starting a game, setting up forces, or working through the game phases do you get stuck at? Like a college textbook, the game manual pretty much explains everything - what each game button does, what the rules are for doing anything, and strategy articles for what you should be trying to do. You need to do some homework. When you're ready to ask for specific help on something, get back to us.

Sorry. The original Grand Campaign is now the ClassicCampaign or AlternateCampaign. Just start a campaign and either try setting up forces manually as described in the tutorial or (easier) load a saved setup by clicking the menu button at the lower left and then selecting a setup. You can follow along in the tutorial from there. It's pretty good to get you going.
