Jim, says the MP dosen't have pause, which would change my game quite a bit, cause I do like to pause to get info/ updates on battle damage, also I get fatigued and need a break. How you guys handle it? I don't know. I would like to observe your play.
hoistingman4- I don't think your the only one that'll have to change your game, due to not being able to pause. About a month ago, I stopped using the pause button, because I knew we wouldn't be able to pause the game during MP. It did change the way I played, but not as much as one might expect. You just have to be more decisive. It's a learning curve, but it's good for ya!
I know the Senario's can come off as unrealistic at times, but each Senario has great lessons in handling stress, in seemingly impossible situations, and learning to go with your instincts. There are a few that, even though the game declared me a winner, my troops were on the verge of getting overwhelmed and broken. But you take what you learn from it and try to put it to use on the next one. The key word is PRACTICE. That's one of the reasons I like Open Play. It's a great training ground.
As for a given unit(s) training and abilities, you could try and do what I know some of us do. Make notes. My computer desk is all but covered in post-it notes with that info. Because I can't remember all those details in the fog of war. And at times, when fighting with a corps or army, I don't worry about that stuff.
And battle reports? Speaking for myself, I don't even look at it, until the game declares me victorious.
Just keep at it, and try to be patient. You'll develope your own style as you go. And you will get better!
ironsight-Congrats on your Laural Junction victory, casualty ratio, and a map free of blue dots!! Well done Sir!!B)
