But in real life the war will not wait while you issue orders nor can you realistically issue orders simulataneously. Having said that I agree that you should play the game the way that gives you the most rewarding experience. My problem is that I have never been in a real war (except for dodging the buzz- bombs) so I am having to learn the hard way so as not to lose and lose badly.

To pause or not to pause - that is the question. More fun on the fly especially if you are attacking but until my reactions improve as I get accustomed to the camera moves I'll pause now and then to relay new instructions. Otherwise its is definitely more realistic especially with such a competent AI to let battle proceed.

As a gamer but really quite a novice when it comes to RTS I am curious to hear how the experts tackle a battle. Do they meticulously assess their assets and then formulate a detailed plan? Do they pause frequently to check what is working? Or do they just "let battle commence" and intervene when things seem to bechanging for the worse? I realise there will be personal preferences here but for any of us bovices it would be very interesting ti listen and learn.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm a single player and will therefore wait for the big one!.

Demo worked fine. Bought DVD Installed today licence installed as well. then installed patch. Game wont play. Uninstalle and then reinstalled game. Version 1.2.0.44. Works fine as does Mission Editor. Reinstalled patch to bring it to 1.2.0.46(Same address as game) Game won't play. Unistalled and then reinstalled ame. Works fine so far. Question is the patch necessary?

I can see that as more people use the Mission Editor, more missions will become available on-line. I think it would be helpful if some kind soul could write down clear and unambigouous instructions as to how to install a new or modified mission. I say this because I tried to install a modification to the infamous Defence tutorial and while carefully removing the existing xlp file and replacing it with the modified one I managed to get Victory without a move. Its seems almost as complicated as loading scenery onto FSX.

Having installed these in the T.72 file I cannot now start the program asit requests the CD and I only bought the download. Do I have to download all oner again?

I followed your set up, Task, but the two houses we were hiding nehind both got removed by shellfire. I lost the Panther almost straightaway but the Jagdpanzer then proceeded to eliminate 10 tanks in a row with no intervention from me. Needless to say there was no bottleneck at the bridge since none got near enough. Moral leave it to the AI omce you have a ood set up and intervene only occasionally The AI is so good that it works for us as well as the enemy.

What key orients a unit during placement if any?

Is this a hoax? twice I went to your dowload and all it did was fill my screen with code and brought my browser to a complete halt. I tried it twice and now I think I will give it a miss. Looks awfully like a virus to me.

The Manual shows no list of keystrokes. The useful primer and the traing lesson on LOS explains the use of ENTER. But do we have for example a keystroke to select ALL units? And how about one to select previous unit selectd. And is there a way to take a platoon and place it IN a trench not just near it? Or do I have to place each one. Setting up for battle is important but very tedious so any tips will help. I'm using the smouse croll wheel for all movements of the camera.

It may not be realistic but it sure is fun. Have one of your tanks fire an HE at another tank and watch close up - trult a BLAST

No not me - the AI of my two wet behind the ears AT gun crews. I sat and watched it all.

I found these walkthrouighs for the training missions quite useful. Its a start anyway. http://gaming.tweaktown.com/cat/guides/index.html
