Status: offline 		Hi,

I just wonder if a paper tutorial with scenario like in Witp, giving some basis and something to do when you start the game could be useful ?

I don't know how you started but I'm sure I was lost first time I tried witp:AE even if the manual is really good. I just played some scenario and read the forum a lot but it still need me some months to have the pratictal basis to play.

Any thoughts ?

I start something but it's only a draft. Should I continue ?

It took my two years in real time to even open and play the Coral Sea scenario. Looking back, I could have benefited from a tutorial with an unlocking function - finishing the tutorial unlocks the grand campaign. Learning all the basics on December 8 turn as Allies was murder. Scarred for life, I guess.

Cheers

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-hXdgZ2ytpkOW0ya0pzT0RscEk/edit?usp=sharing
The scenario is in slot 41, I don't know if it's already by mod but I can change it.
I've no idea which files are necessary so I add all I found with 41.

I add the text file in different format I don't what you're using.
I've already change things to spread the tasks it's why I didn't upload early. English isn't my native language so be indulgent.

Very nice actually.

I only read the file rather than opening the scenario, but it looks good. The formatting could maybe be changed a little to break the sections up a little more clearly, and other slight details light bolding important words and using different font sizes for the section titles, etc.

Apart from 'polish' like that, I like the concept, and if you don't mind I will pass it along to a friend of mine who is considering getting the game. I know he would prefer reading and taking his own time with a written tutorial rather than watching a video one and having to probably rewatch it several times. Different ways of learning I guess.

Yes, I do read and I have read some of it. JuanG has some very good observations. I will try to finish. I had a death of a very good friend of mine in Massashusetts last week to deal with this week. Along with a PBEM, Beta testing, Work and family stuff. Other than that, I feel You are on the right track. If we can come up with a final draft, Maybe we can have it stickied up above. GP

I tried to give new task each turn but it's really hard with the lot of informations you need in this game. Although the first draft was aproximatly the same in 2 turn so that's still better

I've not even think about looking right now but I will try to make something good looking that's sure.
