Greetings one and all and welcome the The Few Good Men, if you've found your way here doubtless you have an interest in all things Combat Mission.
Combat Mission can be a daunting game to new players, the sheer number and type of formations, vehicles, environments, maps, and scenarios is almost limitless.
However, what most people struggle with is the game commands and their nuances, there are many vital controls you may not even realise exist!
Fortunately one of our members, @Hapless , has an outstanding youtube channel covering much of his gameplay and numerous tutorials covering commands and how to use them in a clear and concise manner, so without further ado....
Tutorials:
Basic Infantry Movement
Force Selection
Spotting (Vision mechanics)
Direct Fire
Splitting Squads
Firefight 1
Firefight 2
Firefight 3
Firefight 4 (MOUT edition)
Calling for Fire (Artillery tutorial)
Machinegun Theory
Mines (Things that make you go boom!)
Vehicle Movement
Transport (Battlefield taxis!)
Buddy Aid (Medic!)
Technical Bits
Camera controls and orders
Vehicle Penetration
The AI (Skynet is real!)
How to: PBEM
I have arranged the tutorials in the order I believe will make the most sense to watch, each building on the previous as it were.
All credit for these excellent tutorials must go to @Hapless , I feel that more new players seeing them will ease the learning curve and add many more skilled players to our community.
Other text tutorials, excellent information contained within!
Battle Drill tutorials by @Bil Hardenberger , go to the 'Tactical Toolbox' section.
The relationship between Soft Factors, Morale, and Fatigue by @Josey Wales , he also has an excellent youtube channel with many great After Action Reports.
