I wasn't either. Although, it made for quite a challenge.

I had started playing ALB on hard. Could even win. The swarming of the enemy units at the start was annoying when you have to jump from unit to unit giving commands.

The new system is much better. It is also far more realistic. Tell me of one battle that a general took to total annihilation of the enemy force in a 1/2 hr.

just bought this, fired it up and haven't a clue how to play, its not very intuitive.

What are you having a problem with? Nothing has ever struck me as particularly complicated, especially with respect to gameplay. I will say the deck builder took me a few minutes to get a handle on.

I clicked on Tutorials and apart from some manual looking screens nothing happened, so i tried the first campaign thinking it might ease you in. However I seemed to only have one unit? and then I was swarmed by the enemy. I probably need to search for some lets play videos.

There isn't much to the tutorials. Movement and such is intuitive. Maybe watch some "lets play" videos?

Give a single-player skirmish a shot.  I think that is the best way to learn the logistics system and get a grip on command and control at your own pace.  If you want to connect for a MP game sometime let me know. We can just sit around and take things one step at a time.

Thanks Guys

Thanks Fran, very useful!

[sandman2575]

Yeah, that is a hugely helpful guide -- thanks for posting!

No problem, at the moment playing with a US Marine deck in multiplayer, so combination of anti-ship planes, fighter cover and ships. Great feeling to sink a 500 point Russian ship.

Think the number of ships in play should be reduced, end up with a swarm of ships, and does not feel like a fleet. Plus the more bunched up they are the better in regard to anti missile cover.

If you do the same on land your group of 100+ point tanks will soon be stunned by arti/or planes.

[jomni]

Yeah I think the inclusion of ships is gimmicky and will lead to awkward situations.

i know most games wont generate 200 pages like Rome II did, but what happened here - is anyone still playing it? Watched a few lets play vids of a guy playing the campaign and it seemed ok, nothing new over ALB except the speed option but he wasnt using it anyway

Was mulling over a purchase but it seems to have had its release moment and then died off
