It feels complex and there aren't too much information newbie-friendly. In fact, I have no idea where to start and what to take into consideration, but well, over time I hope to learn.

Regards

There are "let's plays" of both WW2 and MBT on Youtube these days. They might be worth a look.

"Pewpewchewchew"'s videos on "Organized Chaos" (Scenario #1) for WW2 and "Viet Village" (Scenario #41) for MBT are definitely worth a look. He raised a few eyebrows among some of us "experienced" players when he won the first one without using smoke, only HE from a couple mortars, while employing MGs as fire support against entrenched Poles. (The standard procedure is to use mortars/artillery for smoke until your regular infantry squads get close, then switch to HE. Seems he preferred to keep an LOS to the enemy trenches so his MGs could hose them down. Sorta like Rommel against the Rumanians in WWI.) Shows how there's more than one way to skin a cat, as it were.

The second one is a kind of training scenario to teach the basics, with nothing but infantry. Forget exactly how he does that one but IIRC he was also successful. His site is at:

It's almost 3 years since I've played the scenario, but I've done it in more or less the same way he did (the reason was the same, I want my MGs to have the LOS to truly shine), though I did use smoke a couple of times, though smoke created by my infantry, not mortars.

But I agree with you, there are usually more than 1 way to finish a scenario. And that is what makes the game so enjoyable.
