Junk, try playing a few small scenarios and get a feel for the units a little bit more. This is a better way to grasp things and understand why things happen and how. Another thing, is ask questions, even the dumbest things bring on unexpected answers.

Personally, I'm a victim of the Weasel, GreyB and Grumbler school of hard knocks :)
They are tough and very good, but playing them pays off if you pay attention to what they tell you.. (just ask czerpak about our games LOL)

It sucks getting your arse handed to you... but if you take a minute or 2 each turn to see just how they did the dirty work, it applies nicely when you put your own twist to it.
Expecting to win in this arena is a lesson in futility, however losing a few games will get you a few wins later as it comes together.



Chris,
I would stay the course on the mentor program, it's summer time and things are slow. Don't let your frustrations beat down the program you've done well with in the past.

Endeavor to presevere.
