GaryO Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hello, Thought I would introduce myself. I am in North Carolina, USA and I was a M1 tank platoon leader and Troop XO in the 80's. My only gaming experience has been in the UCOFT and Simmnet back in the day. Looking forward to playing SB as it bring back some good and not so good memories of tanking in the FRG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Welcome! Can I suggest you work your way through this: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbwiki/index.php?title=Starter_Pack Then eventually perhaps have a look into Thank God Its Friday (TGIF) a multi-player, quasi serious event held, surprisingly enough on Friday evenings, US time. There are a few "Virtual Units" out there who will help you along, the one that is best for you will depend on your availability, etc. Edited January 11, 2019 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrench Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hey Gary. I'm new to Steel Beasts as well. I've actually been thinking about posting here to ask if there is anyone with some experience that would be willing to show me the ropes RE: commanding a tank. I'm coming over from the flight sim world and could use some help learning to operate on the ground. Let me know if you'd want to join up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Gary / Wrench, I'm happy to help. The question will be a suitable time - I live in Australia. Its unfortunate as you have both just missed a series of training / Q&A sessions that I hosted / conducted of the Christmas break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I saw that Gibsonm, It's a shame you couldn't record it (I read your posts explaining why) I'll make my own post so I don't completely highjack GaryO's thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsman422 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hey, Wrench! Nice to see a familiar face. Welcome to being a treadhead. Gary, nice to have you here. Before long, I'm sure with your background, you'll be teaching US things about tank ops. If I may suggest, there are plenty of Cold War missions that focus on large unit defense in depth and some are quite challenging. The Fulda Gap series is good. Also, the NorthAG 1966 scenario is a fantastic showcase of scripting. Welcome fellas. Good luck and have fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
