Hi Andy,

Thank you ever so much for the reply. The truth is, sometimes I smoke off likely firing positions and sometimes I cannot. I have been trying to play campaigns in the 2006-2008 range in the middle east. Because I only have 3900 buy points at the beginning of campaigns, I am forced to buy the least expensive tanks available and the least expensive infantry -- usually 3 platoons of each. Once this is done, I don't have anything left for organic artillery. I try to buy artillery with support points, but sometimes the map dictates that I spend the points on more important things...like infantry etc. I will keep at it though.

I think it would be of benefit to all newcomers to this game to set up a Strategy Forum. In such a forum, more experienced players. As I said, I am not an inexperienced gamer...but I am finding the learning curve very steep.
