Just downloaded the CMFI demo and finally giving this game a go. I've played it twice now, both times losing. I'm trying to get fire on that AT gun with my mortars but I can't get them in position to draw a bead on them. 
Going to go watch some basic how-to videos before I give it another go. Really want to learn how to do well in this game.
Appreciate any quick tips for this scenario.
Thanks

Ohh...so learning CMx1 (BoB in this case) isn't really going to help me much with learning the newer CM games? If so, I DO NOT want to do that. My game time is limited and I'd rather avoid trying to learn 2 systems.
Thank you for that nugget of info.

yep, those are the ones I found. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

So, I've got the FI demo and I'm going to start the plunge with this game. Can someone here recommend to me good online tutorials to help educate me? I feel like I have a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to war gaming (I play a lot of WW2 table top miniature games) but little in the way of PC war gaming. I mean, I know not to run out in an open field at least 😆 and smoke, smoke, and more smoke.
Thank you
Edit - I found some on Youtube! 

I just downloaded the Normandy demo and I'm giving this another try. I gave this a go several years ago and put it on the back burner because I was so new to the genre. Fast forward to now and having a couple years under my belt playing Battle Academy 1 & 2, Unity of Command, Theater of War (briefly), Steel Divisions (briefly) I find myself lured back to this beast.
I know I'm going to fail, a lot, but I want to really "get" this game. I've watched the Armchair General videos multiple times.
Any tips/tricks from you pros here for a new guy? Not sure if the demo will allow me to play a smaller platoon vs platoon battle, but I know starting off as small as I can is the best approach.
Thanks
