Which Land Combat scenario is the easiest to play? I'm just trying to get use to all the aspects of the game before I try the grand campaign...

Burma.
For amphib primer do 1000 mile War.
Download these small (really tutorial) scenarios from site.

PS
Learn how to download, it is kinda involved.

Bill, they're part of the basic install of the game. Look up the starting scenarios (e.g., scenario 1= standard full campaign, scenario 2= enhanced Japanese start of full campaign, etc.) Pull them up when you're starting a new campaign. If you want to do a third party Mod then you'll need to DL it separately, but the '1000 mile war' is part of the basic campaign packages.

Personally I would do the Guadalcanal campaign as a first effort - the scenario is quite short and limited in area and the land fighting takes place in several places - Guadalcanal, Tulagi, Port Moresby/Buna, other islands if you wish.

In addition to a taste of ground war (with all the amphib landing and terrain/fort considerations) you get a real sense of the importance of supply and support from the air forces and navy. The whole game models a combined arms approach over most of the area. Only China/India/Russia have land masses big enough for the navy not to matter much.

But if you are looking for tactical elements, there are very few in the game. It is strategic level in scope so you control nothing during the turn execution. You set up your forces during your turn and give them orders to move/attack/defend and let the AI calculate the outcome. There are lots of random factors in the calculations to keep it interesting.

Now I feel stupid!! I was looking for "The 1000 Mile War" and not "The Thousand Mile War" that's listed on the Scenario selection page. Thanks for the input...
