Hi there to all - I just got this game in the mail and have not yet played it. I have readt the entire manual and have downloaded Bruce Geryk's walkthrough. As soon as work is done, I plan to do the walkthrough. My question is: after that, what is the best way to start this game? New scenario? New Campaign? Random Map? In other words, what is your advice for my first effort in this game after the walkthrough. ANY advice I get is welcomed and I will use it tonight. Thanks for answering - maybe soon I can help others on this forum. I've heard that this is a very tough game to learn - is that true????
