I finally finished off the training campaign.
I have never been a good RTS player since I have very slow reaction times, so I am thankful for the 60 second turn-based option (and the ability to save and continue games!).  Quite a white-knuckle experience (in a good way) hitting the red button every turn and hoping for no major blunders in the plotting for the next 60s.    I will follow the advice posted in another thread where a member recommended playing the training campaign several times to help learn game mechanics.

My word!  This game is complex and detailed.  I doff my hat to the battlefront.com crew for their work on Red Thunder!
 
I started playing Red Thunder over the weekend whilst reading along with the manual.  I finished the first and second mission in the Training Campaigns.  I managed to capture Hill 124 without too much damage to my forces (lost 10 soldiers, 2 tanks, and 2 armored cars).  The Fog of War really makes a difference and adds a lot of drama to the battle.
