Just started playing tonight, and it took me a few tries to get the initial buying system right. Actually, my PC is weak, so I have to tone down the Core Force to a Recon Company with no morters and 1 Pz IVe. Then I cut all the auxiliary force calculations in half (rounding up by 5 if necessary).
After all that work, I ended up with a ton of infantry assaulting a heavily damaged town over flat ground without trees in clear weather. Dropped a lot of smoke, but got chewed up anyway. I should have backed off, taken a loss, and gotten a new assignment! After playing CM for so long, it's win win win each and every battle. No thought about tomorrow. This new system will be fun (I hope).
