Use the hotkey "S" (visible hexes). Try long ranged fire from a gun or MG (Always remember the rule about fire effect halved at more than half-range).  See how "hold fire" prevents units from divulging their location with auto-defensive fire.  There's some really cool things you can learn like this.  Only takes a game or three, but you will learn lots.

I have to agree with this Stejones82!!

I'm just learning the system right now having been a Campaign Series player for so many years! Don't get me wrong, Campaign Series is still first on my plate!!!!

There is a lot to be learned from any SB title. It is subtle and I like that in a game. My favorites are the World at War Mod by Warhorse, Tour of Duty 'Nam, Eagles Strike and Red Victory. Gives me hours of enjoyment figuring the ins and outs. Wink
