jorlando -> newbie in wargames needing advices! (cross-posted from Matrix Games General Discussio (1/15/2001 3:44:00 AM)

Hi! I'm a newbie in wargames... I didn't played one until SPWAW... the closest to a wargame that I was before, was when I used to play a cardboard game called WAR, that was very popular here in Brazil (very similar to the game RISK). I also don't have any military experience, so terms like OOB seem arcane to me.
Since I think to translate SPWAW to Portuguese, I'll need these terms, to correlate them to the Portuguese equivalent, and I need to learn them to play better :-)
So, in short, were can I find such type of information? There is something like a military glossary of terms and acronyms?
And what should I read to sharpen my strategic skills? I played the tutorial and managed to destroy the German forces in 13 turns... it was a decive victory, but I used more brute force than strategy, so I lost many units in the process...
I also heard that military use to play wargames to learn tatics and combat strategies... SPWAW is one of these games?
Sorry for the long post and bad English :-)
Thanks for you attention!
