First impressions

Post by cardiffian »

Just bought this game after trying out the demo (which impressed me, well done Slitherine!). The one thing which struck me as I was playing, the game tells you what units the Axis force has. In the end, I was looking away while the AI made it's move. Is there a way to switch off the game engine showing you what Axis units are moving while out of LOS?
Nice easy game to get into and I picked up the controls very quickly. But, I fancy trying my hand at building scenario's but find very little to help you get started. I bought the digital download + boxed game but there's nothing in the box pointing you to where you can find the manual.

There is a pdf manual from the Windows start menu, not sure about Mac. It has very little to it as the original intent was for people to learn from the tutorials. See the Wiki for additional items and my Manual Additions thread for links to pdfs on editing.
You can call me junk - and type that with one hand.

Thanks J2D :)
My usual handle is British Tommy but I can't log in with that so I'm using this one. I will try and see if I can make a start on a scenario.

Hey BT, nice to see you around here. Hope you are enjoying the game. People have mentioned seeing the enemy forces bar since the beginning. There may be an ironman mode in the future.
