Ha, should take heed of my own doctrine, RTBM !! It never occurred to me to look there, didn't realise the updates affected the manual. I appreciate the effort you took in helping an idiot in distress. Many thanks to you sir. Good hunting.

Hi Lima, Thanks for the reply, that does indeed make sense, will give it a go, and likewise, haven't tried the "U" key yet. Thanks again.

33Lima, Need help sir, for the life of me, cannot get Active Defense to operate sensibly !! I press 9 & it goes for cover in any direction, any chance of some idiot proof guidance? Much obliged.

I second that.

Caution is key, Plan A & Plan B along with reading the map are vital. On that particular episode, I did none of those, just rushed in without any forethought. Still, improvement in my own missions, enemy no longer set as Targets, & I'm getting positive results - Victory, Total Victory. Am looking at the Angola situation for the forthcoming week, some personal interest there back in 76. Back to it. Delta out.

Nice one Lima, again!! I've tried this episode many times & always ended up on the sharp end, reading this it didn't occur to me to go into the map, peruse the situation & alter tactics, I left the driving to the AI & as soon as the ford was crossed it was curtains, hmmm. You know, it hit me yesterday, even though you're ahead of me on this, we're only scratching the surface, the sheer scale of its potential is astronomic. It will be a long time coming before I reach those dizzy heights. As a side note, I would like to be able to have the map on a second screen, although the cross-over is instant compared to SF, that small sidewards glance is all that is needed a lot of the time. Anyway, excellent report, keep it up man. Delta out.

Another impressive report Lima, I sympathise, I thought I was the only one who forgets to tell his platoon to halt while I make a position change ! I had an experience yesterday whereupon a 2nd platoon refused to move to position, I still don't know why, probably something else I obviously overlooked, but I've come to realise this sim requires meticulous planning before entering on operations, the slightest oversight will bite you back hard. I agree with you on the 'Hud layout & Interface', & like yourself, I prefer to play (Oooh, that's not right, we don't PLAY sims) with minimal HUD, but I can't see how to improve on this as it is. Bash on, stick one up the chamber & give em one from me ! Delta out.

I agree with all that, especially 'The Chieftain'.

33Lima, Hi, Sitrep, after initial dialogue on day 1 I was impressed & at the same time intrigued with this animal. Day 2 however, I was ready to throw the towel in, my backside was getting kicked inside out. Day 3, discovered the Battle Editor, set up a scenario with a single platoon against six enemy tank platoons & a couple of apc's thrown in for good measure, but I set the enemy as Targets, this was the turning point for me. I could get to grips with all things Commander, get my head around ranging as Gun-Layer, work out how to traverse those damn ditches without getting stranded. I can now appreciate how good this is. Nice pics in the gallery btw.

I've had my eye on this since you announced it's regeneration, shall I, shan't I ? Bit the bullet & got it from Steam this morning, It's a strange beast, a cross between SF & SBPro with something else, not something you can jump straight into, The graphics are a dream. Prefer it to SBPro, this seems to have what SB lacks, but there are elements of SB this could do with Still, it's early days for me & still a lot to get my head around. Thanks for the response, long-winded or not, it's appreciated.

Excellent review 33Lima, have been following your mission reports for Steel Fury which never fail to impress. But tell me, being an avid SF STA & SBPro user I am tinkering with the idea of buying this, is it worth the £23 ? Thanks for any reply.
