Point of Attack 2

Is it just me, or is this game essentially unplayable? 

Aside from the fact that the tutorial won't load, various functions of the game don't seem to work at all.  Giving orders by maneuver groups (which the game encourages) is clearly broken.  Units will get to an objective, and three platoons will continue on while the HQ unit sits there.  The UI then indicates that the objective is incomplete.  Deleting all of the objectives and specifying individual moves still won't get the stuck platoon moving.

In another case, all of the intermediate objectives changed color to the "completed" color before any units reached them, and the entire company started moving somewhere else.  Nothing I did stopped them.

I read that this sim had a lot of issues but was basically playable after the 2.5 patch.  Unfortunately not, and now I'm out $60.

Of course, I could be doing something wrong, but the lack of any tutorials at all coupled with a 500 page manual makes it tough to figure out.

This is one of those games that rivals Pride of Nations in turn processing time (if you turn on all the fidelity options).

Thanks Cougar, I hadn't noted there was a new patch.  I only received the game this week and checked for a patch on Thursday.  Of course they would sneak one out right after that!
