As for tutorials, in the area above where you will see this thread that we are writing in you will see "Top: Some Basic Training Video Tutorials", open that thread and start there. That should be a good start! Enjoy....

As you read it, copy its moves and recommendations in your own game as the allies against the AI. You will learn much of the basics and interface through this. Beyond that, simply play the game and ask questions here in this forum as they come up. Try out the smaller scenarios like Coral Sea and Guadalcanal.

I started a GC as allied player (first one) during november - I found Kull's spread and it was something I would call a transcendent experience. When you suffer all the way until the end - you may have a true understanding what you can do during the game. If possible try to write an AAR (and avoid it to become delayed) - so many helpful members of this forum will help you!

I very rarely pay for Japs. I generally either kill them or send them to certain death for the glory of the Emperor, i.e. me.



Now, speaking about your issue. You have selected from game options the historical 1st turn, in which both players just do whatever is already planned at the beginning.
You need to deselect that option in order to be able to give orders on 7th Dec.


On a side note, I strongly advise you against playing Japan since it's way more challenging than playing Allied side. Also, you should probably begin with few scenarios such as Guadalcanal or the Coral Sea one.

But I'm the last one who can speak: I begun directly with Japan in PBEM ahahahahah

Made a bunch of mistakes, learned from them and then restarted. The benefit of this approach is that you get to learn the map as well.

Play smaller scenarios first to get hand on mechanics.

In scenarios, feel free to play either side, to get used to either side's strengths and weaknesses.

I would't recommend this unless you have had experience with massive games of this type. Running the Japanese economy is a daunting undertaking. Try the Allies first, until you become familiar with the game.
