Hallo, I am new to UV. I bought the Game last week here in Germany. First: I played a lot of Wargames (Talons WF+EF, TOAW 1+2, TacOps, Airborn Aussault, CM 1+2, panzer camapaigns and a lot of others. And I have no Problems to get in. But after some hours with UV I must say: 1) I buy the Game today here in Germanys Media-Markt On the Gamepackage there is no Hint, that the Game is complete in english, that the Handbock (120 pages) is complete in english. Just a 19 pages hintboock is in German! And If so: Why are not at least the Mission-Briefings translated? I am waiting for the german Version because my englisch is not the best ... 2) I understand nothing! The ultrashort Tutorial is NO Tutorial and explains nothing! The Handbook ist full of tables and micromanagement-Lists. I would like to print it out. But a Demoprint shows me, the writing is so small, that I can't read it on the paper. So I MUST read it on the Monitor ... 3) I search the Manual, the Forums and the Web. But I can't find a Beginner Guide, a Step by Step Explanation, a Demo Tour trough a complete Mission, with clear and exactly Orders, Examples. 4) I find not one simple "How to's": (and this belongs to every manual, that has the right to call so !!) - How to play this game? - What are the first Steps? - How to arrange an Assault? - How to build your Defense? - How to ... Yes! I Found many AAR's, but with hyroglyphical Lists of Units without Pictures , and without helpfull Hints. AAR's for People, who know's, how to play this Game. But not for Beginners. Sorry Matrix, Sorry Developper! Sure, you are great Wargame-Guys. But If you don't manage, that Newbee's have a comfortable "come in" in your games, i will by my Games in the Future better from Firms like HPS, SHRAPNEL or others. Take a Look at the Handbooks of TacOps4 or Airborne Assault. Look at the exellent Doc's from Panzer Campaigns (100 Pages only for Beginners PLUS a 200 Page Manual with the Facts). Or other companies, who have 5 to 10 Tutorials who covers the singel aspects of your Games. The Game is now over one Year old! And there is no Beginner-Forum, ther is no sticky Thread with helpfull links to advising Threads. On your UV-Homepage, the Links to the screenshots are without Function. Oh, oh, oh ... Here I will Stop. And that is what I do: In the next hour, I will go to a Friend, who has a A3-Printer There I will print the Handbook. I hope I can read it than. Than I will read the Handbook, make Lists and hope I found some Hints for the Gameplay between the Lines ... After this I will take a long search for an AAR, witch I understand and will try to play it Line for Line. And I hope, some of you can give me a Tipp, what goes wrong. Greetings Rolfor
