Tutorial?

[Good Elgin]

Love the look of the game but before I buy it I wondered if there was an ingame tutorial to guide me on its mechanics? Thanks

There will be dedicated video tutorials in the coming weeks, and the game already has inside some videos to learn the basics of gameplay (from a similar title, SGS Korean War).

Our specific video was delayed, but gameplay of all SGS game is the same.

Check also this (very long) presentation of the game here:

Hi Elgin,

Yes ! You have many tutorial videos, in game. They describe how to perform the movements, the fights, etc. They were made for Korean War, but the principles are absolutely identical. Still in game yu have popups to explain some concepts of the game.

In addition, you have scenario sheets, accessible when you choose which scenario to play and which provide information. Finally, a (big) pdf manual is coming, with copious design notes !

Best regards.

Thanks for the guidance

Your welcome !

The instruction manual is not available for release for one reason : the work to be done on it is very important, and over the improvements in the game, it has been delayed. Especially since it's not just a game manual : it's full of design notes that explain why a particular choice of rules. In doing so, for passionate players who have been waiting for such a monster game (at least with the advanced game in NATO) for years, a manual that will not just be a "quasi administrative obligation" will certainly be a plus. But it is time consuming. After at least a small scenario, I come back to the said manual.

Regarding the way to play, the game is more complex than all other SGS if we use the advanced version, but it is in its mechanics. The background remains the same as in the other SGS. And these mechanics are - I believe - quite understandable for those who have wargaming experience even those without wargaming background. A lot of information is also given in game, on the best way to use the units (in the advanced game, compose as many combined arms groups as possible for the ground units, 'packages' for the air units, etc.).

In short, the player is not "released into the wild" without indication.

Thanks again for your question, a useful one for all players. If you finally decided to buy the game, we hope you like it !

I would consider purchasing the game if a quick guide-like document written in text, if not a manual describing everything about the game, were published.

The tutorial videos are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible, for a completely new player buddy glosses over so many things, doesn't even explain the card system which is the first phase of the game.

[lemurs2]

I agree, although not as rudely. Can I move units in turn 0? No idea. Why do I get new cards after I play cards, which I can then also play? It would be nice if the phase a card could be played was on the card.
Many units, what do they do? I have anti-radar air units? Do i send them into the battle? Do I place them near the battle? No idea.
