Hi. New player via iPad- we need a strategy & tactics sticky

Post by odi0n »

I am pretty sure the new wave of players (myself included) via iPad for this amazing game will need a reference section.
Where we can come in and check for the latest strategies, tactics, videos... Etc. A sticky for a one stop source with related articles would be sooo helpful.

I already have the Battle Academy Wiki here on my iPhone bookmarked.
However, a more, organic player context of experiences would be so much better.

Thanks for reading.


Ps. Why has anybody not uploaded video strategies on YouTube of this amazing game?

This is definitely the place and there have been many discussions on tactics so if you look through the old threads you'll find a wealth of info. Videos would be great though - if anyone wants to create them! :)

Searching previous posts I understand.

However, it's time consuming to scour through old threads :)
When I have the time I will funnel through them and link useful strats, tacts discussions -into ONE useful index thread. This will immensely help new members being introduced to this game for the 1st time like myself find info quickly.

Hey Odion, Try this http://www.slitherinebravo.net/GameWiki ... eplay_main for starters. It's a decent collection of "must knows" for newbies. The only two things that I'd add to the GameWiki are (i) if you move next to an enemy unit with morale<0 and attack it, it will surrender, and (ii) non-infantry units (eg. tanks, wheeled AA, recon cars) are NOT suppressed at morale <50, ie. they can't attack in their own turn, but if you get too close to them, in their line of vision, they will fire at you, can kill you, and might even get their morale back >50 by doing so... took me several crash and burns to figure out these... knowing it from the start will make your first games MUCH less frustrating... Have fun! ;-)

Thank you. I will keep that in mind for next time I play.
Thanks for the website as well I look forward to browsing through it and seeing what good info nuggets I can pick up.

*Edit*
Yea, that's the Wiki I already have saved on my bookmarks.
Thanks though.
