Campaign Included?

The English in our manuals is reasonably clear, IMHO. (But then again, I cut my teeth on the WRG Ancients and other rulesets back in the 70s, "Barkerese" is something special!).

it's not the english. YOu live and breath this game. I don't. I can't even deploy the units. I forgot how frustrating and awkward this game could be. I an going to uninstall it. Not worth the aggravation. I should have known better.

The Deployment Screen is different from the regular Game Screen. There's a fairly comprehensive section about it in the manual, along with Long and Generated Campaigns. Granted there's a steep learning curve but once on the downhill slope it's usually worth it. Cheers!

You don't have to "live and breath this game" to deploy units as thousands of new players have figured out otherwise this particular complaint would have come up more than the ONE time it has.

You select the units you want then press DONE and when the deploy screen appears you can press Human deploy and then simply pick a spot in the map on your side of the deployment line you want to place each unit and click on that hex and that is where the unit will be placed or you can use auto deploy and make adjustments in the same manner.

However, only took from 12:16 PM to 3:27 PM to get from

"I haven't played it for several years"

to

" I can't even deploy the units. I forgot how frustrating and awkward this game could be. I am going to uninstall it."

In the 20+ years we've been doing this I have NEVER heard any other new player claim "I can't even deploy the units." ......let alone one who claimed in the first post of this thread that had "played the free version of SPww2 for a long time"

which doesn't suggest a whole lot of effort was put in to re-learning the game when there is a tutorial scenario and explanations for that tutorial in the Game guide but you had made 9 posts 12 years ago and the first one included a claim that "units can see 40 hexes and through forests" which is totally absurd and many people tried to help you with your difficulties understanding the game then too but now, it quicky went from "I am new to SPWW2" to " I am just going to mark this down as a lesson learned and move on to a game that is a little more realistic and user friendly."

Back in 2008 you claimed :

"I am new to SPWW2. I have played Wargames for 50 years

but your forum profile says DOB is December 24th, 1975. 50 years before your first posts in 2008 is 1958 which means you are claiming you were playing wargames 17 years before you were born

Then, as now you appear to be mearly a troll making claims about percieved shortcomming of the game that NOBODY but you sees.
