Which scenarios (or even campaigns) would you recommend for a beginner?

joeyeti,

It Begins!8/86(slot 114), is a good, small scenario to try. Be cautious while moving and deploy your units in cover. The faster you move the easier it is for the enemy to spot you. Keep in mind your mobile sams cannot fire while on the move. Scenario 114 is fun and you have good tech to deal with enemy forces. You will learn the most from playing pbems. Once you've gotten a good feel for the game pbem is the way to go. Shrapnel is a GREAT community. Have fun!

Thx EJ!

I just finished this scenario and though I won around 10200 to 2800, it was a small victory only (mainly because most of my tanks were destroyed by nasty BRDMs or other AT weaponry. But it indeed is a fun and quite light scenario to play, especially because you need to learn to move step-by-step, leaving some units overlooking the way and providing cover, while the others move. Lynxs are also an asset, though you have to watch for enemy AAs (I managed to keep one until the end, somewhere around Turn 11 or so, unfortunately without bullets ).

I will now try similar small scenarios as suggested around here...
