Welcome, fellow noob. Never mind all those crusty old hard chargers with all their gold stars and friendly advice. And don't beleive them if they say they had to walk to the store, uphill both ways, just to get copy of beta patch version 01.000012. They're just jealous because they did all the hard work and us noobs get to benefit from it. This game is a piece of cake[>:].....not really.[:'(] Anyway, here's what I did to overcome the overwhelming-ness of this game. (Not so long ago). 1. Break it down into theaters. I went so far as to turn all zones of control, save one, over to the computer and just concentrated on what needed to be done in CBI, or Oz/NG, or WC and PH. This helped me to stay focused on mechanics and develop my own ideas on strategy for each theater. 2. Take two, or three, days for each turn. It helped to actually see the results of my actions immeadiately after assigning a unit a task instead of waiting much longer for results and forgetting what I had done two days ago. 3. ALT-TAB during the computer moves and read this forum. 4. AAR's are a gold mine. 5. Take notes and keep learning. For me it was learning the mechanics, then developing my own strategy (militarily and logistically), now I'm taking on the roles/benefits/limitations of each of the aerial and seaborne warmachines (an undertaking in itself). The more I learn and the more detail I digest, the more fun this thing is. And I know I haven't even scratched the surface. Have fun, Jam
