Insuffcient Tutorial

Post by Weids »

It didn't successfully guide us through the function of the calendar, which I have overlooked for a long time, because that part of the tutorial seems inferior and is a rush.

The introductory Race To Menues senario is ineffective in fulfilling the task. Since, certainly BotB is very different from it. Not only are they differ in game length, but also are they separate crucially, even on the very day of the surprise attack. Time sprint faster in BotB than in race for menus. For, I failed during the ill-starred pursuit for reaching the river, because I falsely judged that I was in a dangerous position and blamed for my bad luck.

Also, I criticize that the AI is too weak in BotB to equip me for playing a Multiplayer Game. Although, the help deck appears to contain all informations, but help is not to be found to comprehend the map, to understand which highway or bridge cross is important. Not in tutorial, not the "basics", not by single player Game play, absent in the help desk, nothing.

By the way, some say that the axis has "a little edge", but the allies win more often as I see it. If he, the one, could demonstrate me how it is so, then I would know that he wasn't jesting around.

To dear Gregor:

The Allies get strategic movements, so they can reinforce to Marche when the Axis threats the La Roche area, that way, prevents the Axis from getting to the Rochefort area in one day, thus alleviates the immediate danger. It is also important to retreat in order to defend Arlon which might preserve victory points, and therefore seals or threatens to seal south of the "La Roche corridor," which would hinder Axis' movement that is crucial for Patton's relieves. In a word, the La Roche is acceptable as a variation.

In addition, elite infantries don't benefit from -1 of hit chance during periods of activation or say, "playing chess." Thus, when breaching across rivers, and when backing up the breaching infantry, elite infantry/ies will suffer as severe as the british infantries.

Rule of Double move seems to be convincing, which is so only because the initiative, and because of which the rule of Double move is changed and game play rules through out the day is rewritten; thus, it is on top of strategies you've mentioned or any other tips you care to post. The reason is that "double" sounds cool, that it helped you a lot in one important game, and that you level it, make it more important than it seems.

Where are the experienced players? I won eight times that appears to include a roll of six, about all games are as the Americans. Roughly half of the time I win by the same strategy/mechanism. Only suffer three losses in the first few games one. Any serious Axis player? I will take the challenge. Allies are welcome too, if you would insist.

I certainly expect an opponent who have mastered the calculations of combat, who can plan well of the future, and have a good sense of victory/vp, and who is familiar with the map, etc.

Nice suggestion, but it wouldn't work for BotB. Our studio have done a very great job in designing this game. Right now we shouldn't truble ourselves with the development of that type of gaming system which might not be as successful as the Butterfield's method currently in use.

As the allies, I do feel great pressure from even an inexperienced Axis player. As I see it, if my opponent could mostly figures out the right strategy under the circumstance and the best possible move accordingly, while I articulate a different strategy from them, and hence unprepared, then by no chance I could win if not by the Gods side, which have never been the case. Even though, winning as the allies is quite possible. Don't you agree?

If not, come have a game with me. I will expect you to be nothing else but an expert who have a good habit of playing and is willing to be serious.

I hope that was serious enough, Weid. You were my first early auto-victory since the patch, sorry about that. The Allies, as you discovered, still need to guard the Meuse. Feel free to invite me to more games. ;)
