Thank you very much for the replies...I'll give it a shot tonight. This game looks to be very, very good, I just don't want to get to a point where I get so frustrated, I don't bother playing.

I'm new to Combat Mission - just downloaded the demos a couple of days ago. My question is, should I buy CMBB, CMAK or both? Are people moving away from CMBB toward CMAK or will there still be support (i.e. scenarios, mods) coming out for BB? TIA

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm trying to play as the Russians. For example, I don't know what to do with the two "tank hunters" way at the front (top?) of the map. I tried coming out and assaulting after the last of the tanks got past, but they just turned around and took me out. Should I move them around as well as moving my other guys or what? This game just seems incredibly daunting.

I apologize in advance if this has been asked or is too much of an amateur question, but here goes. I downloaded the demo (trying to see if it's a game I'd be interested in) and I'm embarrassed to admit, but I am totally lost. I'm trying to play the Citadel scenario, but unfortunately haven't the first clue what to do. I haven't really done anything, just let the German tanks come forward, hoping I might be able to figure it out. Unfortunately, my units just get stomped, and I'm no closer to figuring any of it out. I've searched thru the forums trying to figure it out, but can't quite get there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
