TacOps Tactical Lessons?

[Jingo]

Couple of questions.

1) Are there other short hands-on missions/tutorials beyond the initial one that folks have done to to walk through tactics. I'd like to try some out without playing a full 45 or 60 min game.

2) Is it possible to play a cooperative two player game against a computer AI?

Thanks!

> Is it possible to play a cooperative two player game against a computer AI?

Yes but not in a way that you likely would want to use.

There is a way for two players to play the AI in multi-player network mode but it requires a third computer to act as a host/umpire and an undocumented keystroke. That is a bit more effort than most folks are interested in. The feature was put in for military users.

1) Is it possible to play cooperatively via email? Or would this require both to be connected to the 3rd party comp while taking turns as per standard LAN game?

2) What do you mean "undocumented keystroke"?

You can do multiplayer PBEM by having the first player plot his units, then send a savegame to the second player who plots the rest of the units and executes combat, then plot the next move. The first player can re-watch the action via the replay feature.
