Status: offline 		Hi all,

Just intrigued now the beast is finally out....which scenario's are people playing? I generally prefer BtR due to the scope and variety of planes, industries and tactics available. For a personal touch though I like playing as the Brits in BoB now and then.

My take would be that more people would play BoB since it's easier and smaller to get to grips with.......

Post away...........

Steven

Status: offline 		I think playing a one week or 1 day game of BoB is the best way to start for newbies. Gives you a good 'playing board' to see how things work. You can also save the game, set tactics/raids, run, take notes, re-load, tweak, rinse and repeat. A great way to learn.

I figure with 700+ turns I will have time to re-earn my wings along the way . . .

Status: offline 		Just got this game, never played the originals... Started last night with tutorial / suicide Lufwaffe bomb run in BoB. I also played the RAF side, just to watch what goes on. Both ways I liked the snide remarks I got to read upon losing badly. So I'm tinkering, figuring things out, reading the manual, but my intention is to work my way up to BoB campaign first. Tomorrow I may change my mind.

My biggest problem is I'm also playing WitP-AE, and that's a huge beast to feed.

Three turns in and things are going well but I have no idea how to maximize my score yet or how my short term decisions will be negatively affecting me in about a month

Want to start a 1 weeker in PBEM after I learn some basics.
