Hi all

Just got the base game with the two expansions.

What are the best scenarios to learn the game with? Smaller ones would be nice.

Thanks

Chad

The "Road to...."-scenarios are quite good starters imo.

The Velikie Luki tutorial mission. I think I played that about 10 times.

Velikie Luki to learn the controls, Road to Leningrad to learn basic strategy.

A short guide I wrote to Velikie Luki:

Try GC41 (Axis) to see many aspects of full game in useful contexts; don't think short scenarios cover everything. Leader assignments, force configurations, unit structures, supply issues...

Best training ground for Soviets?

rrbill- the Soviet training grounds are pretty much the same as the Axis ones.

Before playing the GC as either side play the Battle of Smolensk scenario. It is much closer to the game balance in the current version than several other scenarios. It will teach you how to fight a Soviet opponent that is only quality inferior to the Axis or teach you what the Soviets can do in 41 against the Axis.
