Honestly, it's really not that hard to just start playing a game and learning the mechanics, especially if you have ever played EiA, JMO.

But yes, it would be nice if someone could put together a decent tutorial.

Yearworld had started to put together a very nice tutorial a couple of months back, but I think he pt it on hold until the 1.08 version was released and he could incorporate the newer interface into it.

I did one with crayons (really Paint) many moons ago. Not sure where it is buried.

Well, Murat, I wish you'd dig it up and post it. I'm between jobs and just buying the game was a major undertaking. I've always loved the concept, but I also assumed there would be some kind of tutorial. Somehow this remind me of my experience with War Plan Orange many years ago. Suckered by my dreams once again.

Murat's tutorial is at http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1693001.

I cannot find Ralegh's guide anymore; maybe some else has it and can post it?

I'll touch base with Yearworld and see what he's doing with the tutorial he was working on. If nothing else, I can take a whack at putting one together.

Thank you, pzgndr,

As stated, I love the concept. Also want to write a Jane Austin homage in a steam punk alternate set in Less Britain, and will game the game to thicken my back story. Wo-woo. Plus I have an old Napoleonics friend on the other coast who needs another opportunity to humiliate me. Hmm, I'll use the two computer method to work through Matrix' wunderwurk.

I converted Murat's tutorial as is (just too good to mess with and still mostly relevant!) to a pdf document. Erik says he will post this and the other tutorial if he can find it to the Members area shortly.

Thank you! I look forward to being more mystified by the game than its rules.
