Help for a Noob

[Compass Rose]

Now in a game against the AI you can move the recon unit a couple of hexes at a time, move up supporting units, move the recon unit another couple of hexes, etc. So in the end you have maximized what you get out of the unit in terms of distance.

Can you do the same thing in a PBEM? Or do you have to finish all your actions with the recon unit before you move the second unit?

You can do 100% exactly what you do in a AI game that would do in a PBEM game as long as you have not exhausted your movement points.

Do yourself a big favor, try playing a few small PBEM scenarios. If you catch the right opponent(s), you will have so much enjoyment that you will never play against the AI again!
