Dieseltaylor: I was wondering to what effect the Captain actually had on battle the thread you attached suggests that his effects bleed over to the units close to him as well as extending the reach of command. Perhaps I should think about moving him up a little bit more to help those whose command lines have turned black. The person that I am playing against also suggested that it is good to learn combined arm tactics. Der Alte Fritz: I'm glad that I'm just not using the search tool incorrectly. If it does not cause a lot of trouble it would be interesting to view the posts which you have collected from the forum. To be honest I would have no preference as to which army the helpful posts would have been gathered from. I plan on playing both sides. I would imagine that a lot of the advice would apply to both sides.

I have tried doing a forum search using "how to fight as" as my search subject. I am always getting the following message. The search term you specified (to) is under the minimum word length (3) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. I have followed your link to the training exercises and will download and give them a try. I appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks so much Jason! I do believe you've identified the primary reasons for my poor ability to take ground. Early on had I used the Advance command instead of Move I don't think I would be in the bind I am in. I appreciate that you've ranked in order the best ways of taking ground, as well as the importance of rallying troops. I haven't seen very much online in terms of basic gameplay. I have read the 200+ page manual, and even though this is helpful it pretty much lets you figure a lot out on your own. This will help a lot!

I bought this game earlier this month and I'm trying to understand how to keep my units together. I do understand that you want to have the units within line of sight of the HQ unit. As soon as my troops are under fire they completely abandon their orders which means that if I had a chance of taking an objective initially that I lose all hope of fulfilling the objective. Even my HQ units are turning tail and sneaking away from the battle. Conversely I watched my opponent take a couple buildings while his units were under fairly heavy fire. I would appreciate any suggestions. Perhaps someone might know of where I could find information on basic strategy. I understand that the game is mimicing the efforts of self preservation of units in battle. This self preservation however will be costly to the units which have found forward cover.
