markshot Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 I really want to get into playing CM. However, I just don't have enough of the basic strategy to bootstrap myself. Is there anything analogous to a single consolidate strategy guide on the Internet where I can learn about the basics? Please post a URL(s) if you know of some good tip guides. Thanks.

Fan Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 I don't know of a comprehensive CM strat guide, but there's a really good guide on using Infantry in the Attack at http://combathq.thegamers.net From there, you can surf the webring at the bottom of the page. Plenty of informative CM sites out there. Also, you can check out the Tips and Techniques section of this BBS. I've printed at least 250 pages of the stuff I thought was useful. My main goal is to make it to Member status before the Borg finds me. BloodFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schugger Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 Check also http://www.gamesofwar.de for infantry tactics. On the link provided by Fan you'll also find an article on tank tactics called " Panzer vorwärts! Aber mit Verstand " ( or something like this ).

deanco Posted January 16, 2001 Share Posted January 16, 2001 I have a CM site aimed at the total beginner. All basic concepts, written in kind of a video gamey style. The link is under my name. You'll find other CM stuff there as well. Welcome. ------------------ DeanCo-- CM interface mods: http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ so many games...so little time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted January 16, 2001 Share Posted January 16, 2001 Go into the game and dig out the several tutorial scenarios and play them over and over until you start winning. ------------------ Blessed be the Lord my strength who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.

Skott Karlsson Posted January 16, 2001 Share Posted January 16, 2001 Besides playing the same over battle over endessly you can also play without the Fog of War on. Yeah.. yeah.. I know thats considered bad form with many but its a learning experience so I'd say its acceptable in this case. The other thing you can do is check this board daily. Lot of good posts on strategy and the different battles that come with the CM game disk. Happy Gaming, ~Skott~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
