Pls. ignore/delete - I have difficulties handling the quotes in this forum

Gent: 

Maybe it's time to put your scratch pad away, join the TOC ladder and get some PBeM games underway? 

That's not very constructive. 

I am already in a PBEM against another newbie and I'm also working on a little video play-through/tutorial in german.

That's also the reason why I want to understand the rules of the game. Manual says A, but the game results in B which differs quite a bit from A. That's not very encouraging and doesn't help to make the game accessible.

Hi Mowgli! I've been away for awhile...but welcome! I think what Mike (Kool Kat) is trying to say is that people sometimes get going down the rabbit hole and lose perspective a bit...quit looking under the hood so to speak, and just play a bunch of scenarios...Now, that's easier said then done if you're an analytical guy, which it seems you may be! 

Sounds like you've already identified some inconsistencies between game documentation and play...but I hear you saying that you love many aspects of the game!!

I encountered the same inconsistencies way back when...I would recommend doing what I did: play 10-15 small scenarios with old grognards that were willing to tell me what they were doing to me as they kicked my hiney! If you ever want to play a small scenario in mirror, I don't mind telling you what I'm doing as I do it...I learned a lot that way!

After awhile...I believe you just get a "feel" for how to attack, defend, maneuver, etc. 

Good luck and I hope you stay with Panzer Campaigns...I absolutely love it and enjoy playing it!

Just my 2 cents...Cheers, Jon
