New Boot Camp Tutorial Videos

Post by Erik Rutins »

Hi everyone,

We just posted the first in a series of tutorial videos. We're starting with each mission in Boot Camp, then we'll post a more general tutorial video using the tutorial mission. Please let us know if this is helpful and whether we need to change anything for the upcoming videos to better help you learn Panzer Command.

BTW, I am doing Boot Camp #1. Is there anyway to remove the smoke view to see what is going on underneath the cloud? Thanks.

Nope, though that's been added to the wish list. Right now, you have to get down into the smoke to see what's in there.

Thanks Eric. :) That was great. It is just as instructional seeing how you use the UI within the game. Can't wait for the next video.

Great video! When I played the boot camp I either didn't know about the mortars or it wasn't there at the time. I took the church using just smoke grenades...[:)]

Looking forward to more videos.

EXCELLENT! One can never have too many tutorials!

One question: Early on in the replay I see where the ground goes "light", how is that done and why -- I missed something there,

I ve only 2 mortars! even on easy settings. thats not enough to cover my infantry with smoke. they get all surpressed very soon. therefore i'm not able to reproduce your result.

btw: why isnt it possible to give area fire to the church tower?

See this

tm.asp?m=2813722&mpage=1&key=&#2813722

BTW easy setting reduces the amount of points that the enemy can spend. It does not change the difficulty.

Another comment..since this is "Panzer" Command I think a Boot Camp or tutorial on the basics of tanks in conjunction with infantry would be a good idea.

Area fire on the ground as close to the target as you can get it. This works in all instances.

Is my game discriminating against me? In the first Boot camp video, the Germans have a HMG team, but in my game, there is only infantry and mortars, no matter what difficulty level I choose.

Hi Henri,

Please grab the updated Boot Camp Campaign from this thread:

tm.asp?m=2813722

Unfortunately, the version that went out with the release was not the revised version, but the videos are based on the revised version. This will also be included in the first update.
