Status: offline 		A tip for practicing the view controls and unit commands is to setup a quick battle with just two units at distant ends of the map and to make the enemy unit one that can't move far or fast, as shown. Now you can drive around for an hour and as long as you don't stray too far you'll have no contacts and the count down to victory won't kick in.

The recon armoured car moves forward to investigate the contact. Meanwhile, a lucky shot from the 2cm gun on one of my APCs knocks out the enemy vehicle (without intervention from me) and its crew flees.

Status: offline 		I am wrong-footed by the appearance of at least 2 enemy tanks. My Marders have no LOS and are out of position for flanking fire - I had expected the enemy to move through the village itself and onto the objective flag.

All I have to engage the enemy is a single Stug III. I order it forward while also ordering my vulnerable recon and mech infantry platoons to pull back to safety.

Status: offline 		The Soviet flanking move threatens to turn this into a rout. I realise now that I should have moved my Marders up on the right as soon as I first sighted the enemy, but I was still fixated on the idea of an enemy thrust towards my objective.

Instead, the enemy is focused on its own objective, rendering my plans obsolete. Only the clock will save me now!

Note the Soviet light tank positioning for a flank shot in the woods on the right.
