Rolfor -> Very disappointed! How to play this Game? (9/1/2003 11:57:01 PM)

Hallo,
I am new to UV. I bought the Game last week here in Germany.
First: I played a lot of Wargames (Talons WF+EF, TOAW 1+2, TacOps, Airborn Aussault, CM 1+2, panzer camapaigns and a lot of others. And I have no Problems to get in. But after some hours with UV I must say:
1) I buy the Game today here in Germanys Media-Markt
On the Gamepackage there is no Hint, that the Game is complete in english, that the Handbock (120 pages) is complete in english. Just a 19 pages hintboock is in German! And If so: Why are not at least the Mission-Briefings translated? I am waiting for the german Version because my englisch is not the best ...
2) I understand nothing!
The ultrashort Tutorial is NO Tutorial and explains nothing!
The Handbook ist full of tables and micromanagement-Lists. I would like to print it out. But a Demoprint shows me, the writing is so small, that I can't read it on the paper. So I MUST read it on the Monitor ...
3) I search the Manual, the Forums and the Web. But I can't find a Beginner Guide, a Step by Step Explanation, a Demo Tour trough a complete Mission, with clear and exactly Orders, Examples.
4) I find not one simple "How to's": (and this belongs to every manual, that has the right to call so !!)
- How to play this game?
- What are the first Steps?
- How to arrange an Assault?
- How to build your Defense?
- How to ...
Yes! I Found many AAR's, but with hyroglyphical Lists of Units without Pictures , and without helpfull Hints. AAR's for People, who know's, how to play this Game. But not for Beginners.
Sorry Matrix, Sorry Developper!
Sure, you are great Wargame-Guys.
But If you don't manage, that Newbee's
have a comfortable "come in" in your
games, i will by my Games in the
Future better from Firms like HPS, SHRAPNEL
or others. Take a Look at the Handbooks of
TacOps4 or Airborne Assault. Look at the
exellent Doc's from Panzer Campaigns (100
Pages only for Beginners PLUS a 200 Page
Manual with the Facts). Or other companies,
who have 5 to 10 Tutorials who covers the
singel aspects of your Games.
The Game is now over one Year old! And there
is no Beginner-Forum, ther is no sticky Thread
with helpfull links to advising Threads.
On your UV-Homepage, the Links to the
screenshots are without Function. Oh, oh, oh ...
Here I will Stop. And that is what I do:
In the next hour, I will go to a Friend, who has a A3-Printer
There I will print the Handbook. I hope I can read it than.
Than I will read the Handbook, make Lists and hope I found
some Hints for the Gameplay between the Lines ...
After this I will take a long search for an AAR, witch I
understand and will try to play it Line for Line.
And I hope, some of you can give me a Tipp, what goes wrong.
Greetings
Rolfor
