You can start from the Entente Campaign as their first 2-3 missions can be considered as a tutorial, however you have to discover what the x does or what the y does. I highly recommend the first mission of the entente. When you have accomplished the objectives, You are given choice as to whether continue for a while or not

For better or worse this game was designed with veterans of the Blitzkrieg series in mind. However I will help you get started:

You start the German campaign with one officer detached from a squad. Officers have binoculars. You can use them with the X key by default. Place him at your side of the bridge then use the binoculars.

You'll notice some fellows in a trench. Now bring up your light mortar squad close by your officer. Have them use "shoot in" and slowly eliminate the enemy on the opposite bank in this way. Now repeat: creep up officer, use binoculars, follow with mortar squad, etc.

If you're still stumped I recommend getting Blitzkrieg Anthology which (apart from being a good game) has a proper tutorial. This game and Blitzkrieg run on the same engine and share most of the same mechanics.

I found the MANUAL for the game.
