Agreed, learning the basics is a must-do before ruining someones day, thats for sure. But I dont think theres a connection between beating the AI on hard and be a reliable/good player in MP, but I guess my point is clear enough now.

Let´s hope some ppl take your advise/guide serious...

Regarding the demanded visual exhibits, a few Screenshots can´t hurt and are quickly done.

Or some schematics with paint or Visio.

Thanks for the feedback. I will certainly add screens for the later, more complicated challenges. There is not much to show at the moment other than some recon units. I will see if I can edit a screenshot into part 1 later on though.

i just have to post this replay, because even though i am no expert at this game, my teammate was obviously.. very very much worse than me at this.

http://www.wargamereplays.org/index.php ... lay&id=181

I still don't know how i won. i had a windfall when my teammate lagged out near the end (giving me access to a bunch of choppers i could spam at the enemy at a crucial moment). Well, i sort of know how i won. i hit their expensive units hard, tunguska hunting their choppers and using cheap infantry in forests extensively.

If your guide helps players like my teammate actually get somewhere, then thumbs up. I'm looking forward to reading the next part of your guide! The analogy about recon is very informative, i would imagine, to a first time player.

(btw definitely up for critique of how i reacted to the situation.)

Your pictures will create problems ^^ Spetsnaz are horrible to air drop has an base attacker cause they don't have AT weapon...

_________________

They're not exactly horrible, but yeah I recently swapped my Spetsnaz for the VPZU recons which are well worth the extra $5 imo.

Oh i play them.. but not for those attack on spawn point ^^

Whatever one uses there is somebody who has a different opinion. I neither say Spetznatz are the best nor do I recommend them. I just use the because they are working for me. The game I took the screenshots from was in fact a multiplayer match where they destroyed a huge amounts of stuff (even a Zippo) and survived for a long time.
