A couple of newbie questions

[Mustang]

1) Get your INFANTRY unit (vehicles can't assault) adjacent or in the same hex as the enemy VEHICLE (dosen't work on infantry). Then just fire at the vehicle. If your unit's morale is decent and it has some kind of antitank weapon, even a hand grenade, then it will close-assault this enemy vehicle. Close-assault represents your soldiers charging over the vehicle, throwing grenades in the hatch, bashing in the optics, etc.

2) No, but you can increase the contrast on your monitor.

And ask as many questions as you like. That's what we do on this board- talk about the game and explain it to other people.
