Dreaded newbie questions
Hi there. I'm brand new to WinSPMBT (and war games in general) and it's looking great so far. I've only played the tutorial several times to try to get a handle on the basics. A couple of questions therefore (and I have read the manual fairly thoroughly):
1. When the enemy turn is playing out, is there any option to click through the moves rather than them playing out automatically? When damage occurs there is info displayed but it flashes by too fast to take in and, as far as I can tell, there's no way to review this info after the turn is ended.
2. When firing at the enemy, is there any way of choosing which weapons fire? As it stands each unit will fire everything it has. This results in situations like using hellfire missiles on infantry and small calibre weapons against tank's front armour for example.
3. In the tutorial, at the beginning you are told to mount scouts and TOW personnel into armoured vehicles but the tutorial never mentions these people again. As I said I'm a terrible novice at these games and I have no idea if I'm supposed to get them out at any time or if they can have any effect from the 'safety' of these vehicles.
4. In one of my playthroughs of the tutorial, I hadn't moved my Apaches and they OP-fired at the enemy when they were still on the ground!! Is it even possible (in reality) for an Apache to fire chainguns, Hydras and Hellfires from a landed position? Is this a bug?
5. This one is again down to sheer stupidity but can I suggest in any future patches that the 'End Game and Exit' button be moved FAR away from the 'End Turn' button? More than once I've hit it by mistake and hit Y without realising as they are one above the other and both use the same Y/N confirmation. Yes, I'm an idiot and yes, I should be saving after each turn but the red button tempts me so!!
Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate anyone answering any of these and I'm sure I'll have a hundred more once I get beyond the tutorial. Great game, thanks.
