Hi Mike,
 
You are correct I’m also one of those with longer life experience, I’m 67. Great to meet someone with that same background. I’m very glad you are taking it upon you to get me started.

I’m from Belgium, so our time difference is 9 hours. That’s why your message and mails were not yet answered (it was night over here).

I’ve played quite a few games on the original boardgame 1984 and was glad to very recently discover the forum and TripleA. In the mean time I played a solo WW2 revised and won against the AI at level ‘easy’. I also played an online game with someone and lost. It was a bit of a challenge it as I had to get used to the new map and the new units, while learning to work with the lobby and the interface of WW2 Revised in TripleA. But I think I’m doing fine.

I only started playing a solo game of global 2 days ago. This is a huge difference with the 1984 boardgame version.

I made my first move
I first got a big surprise by the ‘scramble’ ability by the British, but escaped without too much damage.

I presume the file I sent you is correct.
