Hitman: Sao, in your honest opinion how good is the game?
Me: best game ever. End of.
Hitman: buying it now :3

Feel free to grab either myself or Sao whenever we're on for tutorials, options setting and deck creation! It can be fairly complex if you just through yourself into the game, but that's why we're here!

While the best (read only) way to learn is to play and the best best way to learn is to play with people like Sao and I, I think it might be useful to drop this here: http://www.wargame-ee.com/forum/viewtop ... 8b6b5c1ad2

In particular I'd recommend:

The first clip is my 4 m1a1 Abrams annihilating haruky (or hashys) entire forces.
Then my sas blew up a pack of 4 supplies, getting some aa and an apache then blowing up the second.

Jokerle the game is amazing. I've spent more time in the menus making decks than actually playing!

I'll be online during the day tomorrow. Come to me and I will try and explain the basics (which is pretty advanced tbh)

Pro tips though.

Don't send tanks into towns.
Don't send commands to lead a charge.
Don't ignore those support and vehicle aa.
Don't buy tonnes of super expensive aircraft and forget about them when yoj send them into the enemy air space

Man, that was a fun game. I never figured out how to deal with those AT infantry bogging down my (Cat A FRG) armored deck. Although Flummi and I literally had the biggest Alpha Jet army ever. It was awesome. :D
