Christophe Jaureguiberry -> Newbie suggestion on Command & Control (10/15/2000 8:44:00 AM)
|
As stated in the title, I am new to SPWAW and got it about two weeks ago.
During this time, I have played around seven or eight small scenarios (the biggest I played was Kufra) and found that it is a fantastic game, which in my inexperienced opinion gives a good rendition of what I imagine the conditions on a battlefield would be.
I play with all the options turned on, except command & control. I have tried three times to start a scenario and teach myself how to use C&C properly, but each time I became so frustrated that I stopped the game in the first turn.
Before everyone jumps on me and tell me to read the manual, I want to state that I have carefully read the C&C section in the manual but unfortunately I did not find it enough. I think that part of the problem is that (as a newbie) I don't really understand what the C&C function is supposed to model (meaning what kind of problems real-life commanders found on the field) and because of that, maybe the manual is not sufficiently explanatory. This is not a cheap shot on the manual which I find far superior to any manual I have got in any "professional " games for the last five years, but merely what I hope to be constructive criticism.
I do not know if many newcomers to the game experience the same kind of difficulties I do on the C&C issue. I think the best solution to this problem would be to have a small C&C tutorial scenario, where a veteran of SPWAW would be able to point successive steps to a good C&C mastery and highlight the most common mistakes.
If anyone find it in his time to make such a tutorial, I would be very grateful. And if it is made, by all means include it in the game and the manual.
Thank you and Best Regards,
Christophe
