I am bad at this game.

Steffen,

Could you please send me a copy of the manual? I'd like to see what treasure trove of wisdom is there... Maybe add some more and expand it if there are some gaps...

Dan,

As with Ed and the others, I offer a training game to new guys if they desire one to learn in the valley of hardknocks... Just drop me an e-mail if you so desire to learn...

It is easier to see the game in action to understand the limits of what can be accomplished... I started off 0-7 when I first started playing back in the day... and I was positive I knew what I was doing when I started... I was quickly disabused of that notion...

I was crushed by some very good players who taught, as well as demonstrated, the requirements necesary to become a good CS field commander... the key I used was to play better players, observe what they do, and emulate what worked... Understand the Principles of War and how they relate to the game and you can quickly notch a few wins...

even if you know tactics and strategy... the implementation and execution in CS takes some experience which comes with more play time against crafty opponents... there are some good players who have been playing quite some time, so there are many to learn from here...

I always love playing guys with that choose unique strategies... Ed is definitely a good mentor... He has a passion for the game... Also, he has a flair for a strategy that will keep you on your toes...

Enjoy,

Jim vK
