[noob help please.]

I think tar nailed it. This isn't your normal RTS. Clicking fast and hoping for the best isn't going too work(often anyway).

This is more like chess, a thinking game. I love the PBEM battles, so I can take my time, look at the board, plot my moves, all without boring my opponent to death!

I'm sure in combat commanders didn't get a half hour and 20 replays of the turn to make their decisions but this is just a game, right? I still get my butt kicked even with all my micro-managing but I love playing it this way.

So give it a chance, man. This game will kick you right in the a$$, it's so good!

[AAR on Wargamer.com]

That was a fun AAR to read. I have never played SP but did look at it after I got CM. It looks like a pretty good game but heck, I am having a blast learning and playing CM(love the PBEM battles), there's no way I could give it a try right now.

[MOD DISC]

I just bought the CM:BB SE package through EB Games. I didn't see any scenarios on the mod disc, just a ton of unit and terrain mods and stuff like that. There are 145 scenarios and 20 operations to chose from. I just thought that the extra scenarios were installed with the game. If there are more on the mod disc, please tell me where to look.
