pi_cubed Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hello. Would like to introduce myself. Firstly, I am not a seasoned gamer. I remember being immersed for weekends on the old M1 Tank Platoon on a 386, but back then noone I knew even looked twice at computers so I was out of step. Well, nowadays it seems because I dont stare at a Pc, laptop, tablet, or mobile for half the day I am out of step once again. So I decided I should indulge and allocate some time for the only tactical simulation worthy. I have tried the original steel beasts demo many years ago and have finally purchased a year license now. Thankyou to Esim for introducing the monthly license as this gave me the confidence to trial on my very basic laptop. As it turns out I can get good frame rates with the right settings. For the last month trial I have been playing the included tutorials and several individual scenarios. Now I am addicted. So I hope you do not mind a few newbie questions as needed. I would like to join some multiplayer sessions once I have completed some more training. Any suggestions for scenarios to download would be appreciated. I would especially like to thank the contributors to this forum as it has been such a helpful knowledge base already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Welcome! After the tutorials, I'd suggest Mark Gibson's guides (although these aren't scenarios, but they're very informative) and maybe Gary Owen's Camp Hornfelt Series. There are also some great scenarios in the included "scenarios>single player" and "classics" folders.Just remember: the AAR is your friend and can teach you a lot about what you did wrong...and right. After you get comfortable with the basic controls, I'd jump online ASAP! It's the best way to experience SB; and this community is very patient and eager to help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 http://www.bganzac.org/support/starter-pack.htmlHmmm...I don't see any content in the main frame on that page. I'm registering now to see if that changes anything.So...no, I'm technically not quoting. Must be great minds and all. :cool3:EDIT: Yes, that did the trick. (Thank you, administrator X, for the speedy activation.)EDIT (again): Ha! You're right, maybe I should join. If I only had the time... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
