WitE - The Lost Battles

[jomni]

The operational boot camp is not an official manual. I think it's just a forum post.

Well I only asked because Wolfe1759's post mentioned it being available with the patch - and my game is patched but there's no sign of the Operational Bootcamp...which I think might be a must have because the tutorial didn't teach me enough to get into this game (that I recall).

I've had WitE for some time but only recently decided to make a concerted effort to actually learn how to play it.

Step one - play the Tutorial scenario (takes about an hour)

Step two - play through the Operational Bootcamp (took me 4-5 hours over two or three weekends)

Both the above have dedicated manuals which I found convenient to have in a second window on screen alongside the game window.

The Operational Bootcamp was origionaly on the forum here http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2649216 with the PDF version now available with the game (when the current patch is applied)
...

Can I ask where the Operational Bootcamp manual is? My game is patched up (AND I have Don to the Danube expansion) and not only can I not see the Operational Bootcamp manual on the game interface, I can't see anything that looks like that in the Manuals folder for the game

Mailed it to you Judge (forget where I got it from)

My mistake

If anyone else needs it you can get it on the Wiki http://www.witewiki.com/index.php?title=Getting_Started
Fourth line down under For New Players

The bootcamp pdf file is very well done and helped me to grasp what was going on and allowed me to enjoy a number of the scenarios.  It takes quite a while to work through the entire presentation but it is worth it.  My only frustration was with the fact that the author would sometimes just tell you to move certain units to certain hexes without really explaining why, like in an encirclement, I would know what he was doing but the ctually placement of the many units was sometimes hard to figure out the 'why that hex' and 'not another'...this is a minor gripe, the author is to be commended for an exceptional job well done.

Just saw that there's a AAR on this over at wargamer.com

Thanks everyone for the comments.  I'll probably get this eventually...when there's a sale.
